Kids love this game but it is so easy for it to get lost/misplaced because of its small size.

I Purchased this game because of the high ratings and the supposed "Challenge". I underestimated this game. The Graphics are amazing. The game is pretty challenging. One of my favorite touches is that you can have your own character. I made my Decepticon a Brown and Green attack helicopter and it is totally ausome. The only downside of this game is the camera, it can be extremely unmerciful. This is a highly reccomended game. I don't know where everybody else is getting these glitches, I have played this for 5 hours straight and not 1 glitch. The Decepticon edition has exclusive desert levels which I think are ausome. This is a must buy game for anyone and everyone!!!

Bought this for my two boys and they just can't put it down. Looks like I may purchase another one so they can each have one to play.

Great game

I have not had this much fun with a Nintendo DS game since I got Transformers: Autobots Ds game! HAHA! Anyway, this is a very good game. To start with, the graphics are amazing (for a DS game) there are huge enviremonts to roam freely in between missions. Envirements include a monstrous city, Hoover Dam, another small town, and the Desert in Quatar, which is unique to the Decepticons version( in the autobots game, instead of Quatar you get to go to the arctic). The game has a little over 20 missions, less than the autobots version, but a lot harder. This game has some very hard and irritating levels, but the game is still a blast. at the beginning of the game, you create your own character. Whenever you are in freeplay, you play as your character. Freeplay consists of do what ever you want time. Best described as a E 10+ version of Grand Theft Auto. You can scan dozens of vehicle forms to change into at any time. Though you play your character for a portion of missions, you also get to play movie characters including: Barricade, Blackout, Brawl, Starscream, and, of course, Megatron. When you beat the game however, you can play any character in freeplay. The Multiplayer, which consists of a kill-each-other type thing, is fun but the envirements are not big enough. You can play any character that you have already beaten a mission with. You can also hook up on line to play Allspark wars with other people using a Wi-Fi connection. I have not tried it yet. The story is about the same as the movie until the end. The entire end is about how Starscream betrays you and runs with the allspark. So the final boss battle is not against Prime (you fight and kill Prime earlier) but against Starscream. What ends up happening is rather shocking. Overall I recommend getting both the Decepticons version and the autobot version. If you plan on only getting one, get the Decepticons version. Be aware that you need two games to play multiplayer. Oh, and another thing, this story completely leaves out any human characters, including Sam Whitwicky. 5/5

GREAT GAME!

this is a really well thought out game. it does get very frustrating, which is why it didn't get a 5-star rating. but overall, it is NOT a waste of money.

Very fun

I bought this game without even knowing how fun it could be. For DS there are two versions and I dont know anything about Transformers. This game is like Grand Theft Auto minus blood as one review said. Its very fun and I have yet to get sick of it. I highly recommend this game.

Could have been so much better if more time had been put into it

Unlike the console versions of mega budget feature film video game tie-in, Transformers for the DS has been split into two different games that reflect the warring robot sides. The Decepticon version of Transformers for the DS allows you to play as the evil Megatron and his team of Decepticons as they battle the heroic Autobots on Earth. The best thing about Transformers: Autobots and Decepticons respectively is that you will get a different gaming experience out of both versions, even though there are plenty of mirrored core mechanics to be found as well. First off, you'll notice that the robots themselves look great and are nicely rendered as well. Not to mention that scanning other vehicles is a nice touch, and the open world environments (while limited) are nicely done as well. The overall presentation of Transformers: Decepticons is great, but what really hurts the game is the assortment of bugs and glitches (particularly here with the Decepticons version when playing as one of the fliers) that you'll come across when playing. The game's camera can also be unforgiving, and the environments are lacking in overall detail. Despite all that though, Transformers: Decepticons manages to succeed in the departments it could have easily failed in like so many licensed, movie tie-in video games often do. In that respect alone, Transformers: Decepticons, as well as the Autobots version, are worth checking out for Transformers fans and DS owners alike.

Transforming is FUN!

Ah the fantasy of controlling a Transformer and being able to scan new vehicles to transform!

(Note: Storyline and some aspects of gameplay are similar to the Autobots version but I found the storyline missions in the Decepticons version much more difficult)

There are a few key parts to the game:

1) The Main Storyline (the main objectives of the game) presents you with a good variety of missions, varied enough in nature to keep our interests up throughout the game. The level of challenges vary (search and destroy, protect, boss levels, etc.) and you do end up having to replay the more difficult missions (I'm only 35% into the game). Overall this is the most important aspect of the game, and I rate it well.

2) In between story missions, you have Freeplay. This is where you are free to explore the landscape and scan various vehicles (and add to your arsenal of vehicles to transform into, from automobiles to helicopters - some are pretty powerful!). One of the most satisfying things for any Transformer fan is in finding new vehicles to scan so you can play around with it (including school buses!) Of course, it does get a bit boring if you stay too long, so I tend to continue with storyline missions once I get bored. There will be more modes of transport (flying vehicles are most fun!) to scan as the game progresses. Of course, you can also increase your XP points by kicking some enemy butts (as you cruise around, you'll bump into them). XP points contribute to your Level and each Level up often mean you can do more things (like heavy fire, climbing, special moves, etc.)

3) Side Missions - these are optional missions. These are not crucial and do not affect the main storyline missions. These tend to be the boring stuff like moving from checkpoint to checkpoint, destroy as much as you can in 2 minutes, etc. If there's a weak point to the game, this would be it. They could've made the challenge missions more engaging.

All's said and done, this is a very good DS Lite game. The main missions are gets progressively difficult but it's very varied in nature. If you're a Transformers fan, you'd LOVE it. Even if you're not, what better fun than to transform between vehicles and robots!
