This game just *feels* like what a Transformers game should be! Optimus Prime, Red Alert, or Hot Shot all "transform and roll out" in a very fun 3-D shooter/explore game. I am thrilled with how enemies run for cover behind trees, jump out and gang up on me, and send flares to call for reinforcements. Big fun levels with lots of find-the-extra-stuff subgoals, clear progress indicators so you know how much extra stuff you have left to find, and the ability to move on and come back later if you're stuck - very satisfying.

I wish there were a few more transformers I could play as, and I wish there was a way I could fight with or against my friends, but those fall squarely under 'nice-to-have' rather than required. This is the Transformers game I have been wanting for the last decade!

more then meets the eye

Wow, imagine fighting a robot thats as big as an aircraft carrier.....that IS an aircraft carrier.....right after coming out of it!! THAT is fun! Driving up and down the beach, hiding behind mountains, transforming between vehicle and robot in order to move around quicker, and avoid enemy blasts....this is what boss fighting is all about!!
This game is awesome!! The graphics itself, are quite amazing. From the shadow/light detail, to the fumes, and also the visuals from items which are soooo far away from you (purple warp gate beams that shoot upward can be seen from across the level), and the explosions of the Decepticon robots. Just amazing......oh, this game is extremely fun too! :)

Lots of fun and frustration

Lots of fun, this game is. GREAT graphics! I would give it five stars, but the save-game feature needs some improvement. Saving only saves the Minicons and datacons that you rescue. If you just spent the last 4 hours sweating and bleeding to kill the Decepticons, guess what, you'll have to kill the same bad guys again and again until you complete the whole level. On a good note, though, if you risked life and limb to rescue a much needed Minicon, THAT you WILL NOT have to do again. He's yours for the keeping.

It would have be awesome to play as a decepticon, if anything, just to play the other side of the story.

This is a real basic shooter and it can be a lot of fun.

Mama Mia!!!!

I was excited to hear a transformers game was being developed until I saw it was based on transformers:Armada which I have to say is a pitiful reflection of the former glory of generation 1. I've tried to get into it, but I can't. I love the gen 1 characters and the stories and I wanted to see those characters brought to the ps2. Classic megatron, starscream, Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Soundwave, Blaster, Tracks, Ultra Magnus...just to name a few of the excellent characters that are being ignored in this game. If you like Armada, go for it, but a true die hard fan would do well to hold out for the REAL transformers.

Ignorant reviews

For all those folks who reviewed this game and were ticked that there were no G1 Transformers in it, you obviously haven't been paying any attention to the Transformers universe the last oh...20 years! This game is based on the Transformers Armada cartoon series, NOT the G1. Originally they were going to call it Transformers: Armada but then the cartoon changed to Energon and so they scrapped the Armada part. The Mini-cons are a part of the Armada and Energon worlds NOT the G1 world. The game play does take time to get used to but with some time devoted becomes much easier. This is not an easy game. I'd recommend this for gamers 10 and up due to the challenge. A great game for those not expecting G1 Transformers.

wow

now i dont like trans formers and in a kid but i think this game would be fun i mean i hope they put more effort into the game then they did with the show. ya sure little kids watch the show and they like it and us big kids hate it and the big kids even most grownups might even like it. its a shooting game without any blood. and my parents hate games with blood so what im saying is its a game that you can shoot and kill robots a drive,fly,ect. and most likley most parents will aprove of it so im kind of lookin forward to it.

if you dont know what your saying shut up!

Just to keep it short:1. Really like the outdoor environs, easy on theeyes, not like many of the stealth games whichhave night locations, and other games which aresituated in dark buildings, castles, caves, etc.2. Enjoyed getting all the minicons with all theirvarious powers but hated the time wasted acquiringdatacons. They should of had the datacons in letssay a green light setting. Or better yet, theycould of made most of the datacons into some kindof time reward; longer times for sheilds andcamoflage; or a few more blaster shots and misslesbetween power-ups.3. The other viewer was right about transforminginto their trucks, cars; the settings were mostlywilderness so of little use (one exception, theatoll).4. This game has 3 settings (recruit, veteran, andcommander) and none of them are easy. My biggestproblem with this game is the treadful powerlimitations. You play a game because its supposedbe fun and rewarding, the minicons(4) are reallylimited to 2 minicons at their most powerfulsettings. Examples:a. full armor, full canonb. full shields, full ark gunc. full recharge, full long shot gun, etc.Yes, you can use other minicons at their leastpower setting but they are mostly useless.5. I was hoping that after winning the game, theprogrammers would drop all the power limitationrequirements and you could just go back at fullstrenght and enjoy enhilating everything. No suchluck, even worse there are more of the strongerbots than previously. Yes, I think this game ischallenging; especially if you go back againstthe increased number of the tougher bots but itwasn't a really fun game!!!
