Transformers: The Game review for PlayStation 3
Whether you’re decrepit enough to remember the original Transformers craze or are happily experiencing your first wave of “robots in disguise” hype, there’s no denying the appeal of massive mechs knocking the rivets out of each other while puny humanoids try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. The movie is one of the most entertaining actionfests of recent years and this game version does a reasonable job of capturing all that kickass blockbuster action fun.
In a crowd-pleasing twist you get to play as a range of different Trannies from both sides of the Autobot/Decepticon divide, taking in everything from flying missions with the evil Starscream to burningaround- city objectives in the guise of Pontiac Solstice dude Jazz. The good guy missions tend to be of the protect earthlings and fellow Autobots variety, while those naughty Decepticons get to blow stuff up, but whoever you’re playing as events follow a fairly standard pattern: race to your destination in the allotted time while battling robot drones along the way; fight one of the main characters; travel to another location; complete objective; and then it’s on to the next, suspiciously similar, task. It’s like a simplified, robotic take on GTA’s mission-based structure and although there’s the considerable appeal of *being* a Transformer, the chronic lack of gameplay variety eventually becomes wearing.
