Amazon.co.uk Review

Trying to turn non-action based blockbusters like The Da Vinci Code or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory into games was never going to be an easy task, even given the limited amount of effort afforded to most film tie-ins. A movie involving giant transforming robots beating the tar out of each other though presents a more straightforward source of inspiration. The end result here is sort of Grand Theft Auto with giant robots, with no need to steal cars… because you are the car.

A complex storyline is not one of the new movie’s primary achievements so this game tries to provide as much freedom as possible in exploring the game world and competing in a wide range of missions – from world saving story related tasks to more laid back driving and flying races. You get to play as any of nine different Transformers, including good guys and bad guys, some of which aren’t even in the movie.

What makes the game interesting is the way in which being a 30 foot tall robot genuinely changes the dynamics of normal third person combat. Not only can you toss cars about like rugby balls and smack rival robos around with lamp posts but each character has their own unique mix of Sci-Fi weaponry as well. With the ability to transform into a car or jet fighter (or giant robot scorpion) at any time there’s a degree of tactical flexibility in the game that’s certainly far above that of most other more pedestrian film tie-ins.

Give It A Chance
When I got this game as a present I thought 'awesome' but would have prefered it for the ps3. Anyway I was looking forward to the difference with the wii remote. When I started playing it I thought it was rubbish because the nunchuck controls the transformer but the wii mote controls the viewing depending on how you point at the screen. After a good couple of plays you get used to it, but please please please give it a chance. You then get to play with all the transformers which is great and the controls are a good change on the wii. The levels are not too long so its a good game for all. It may be a game for die hard fans but am not and I really enjoy it but as I said give the controls a chance, you do get used to it!

Camera control is all you need!!
We love this game, if you control the camera correctly it awesome!! But the camera control is half the frustration fun of the game!! Give it a chance...we are addicted to it!!

"Transformers" for wii
What can i say here other than the game is very disappointing. The camera seems to have a mind of its own. The controls on the numchuk are just all over the shop. Best advice dont buy it!
