Transformers: Autobots

I went in thinking this game was going to be another horrible licensed game. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I popped it in to my DS. The game, while by NO means perfect, accomplishes feats I never thought possible on the DS. First off, the sheer size of the game world is amazing. It's very similar to GTA in the size. This is, however, limiting on the detail and activity that goes on in the city. Which leads to one of the minor flaws of the game: the graphics. By no means are the graphics eye-popping or original. However, this does not really detract from the experience.<br><br>One of the best features of the game is the sound aspects of the game. If you watched Transfomers as a kid, then you will instantly recognize the sound effects. They come straight from the TV series and I admit I giggled a little when I heard that classic laser sound. But perhaps the BEST part of the sound is the FULL voice acting. That's right. Vicarious Visions went all out and even got the original (and movie) voice actor for Optimus Prime. All the voice actors do a spot on job.<br><br>Finally the gameplay. This is where I was let down. Combat boils down to mashing the A button until your opponent is dead. Now this works for some games and it sort of works here, but I was just left wanting something a little deeper. Another thing is the targeting system. It's terrible. It's almost impossible to lock on to something before it turns you into slag. This leads me to the final issue of the game. It is pretty unforgiving. I'm a pretty experienced gamer and I've run into a ton of situations where I can do nothing but die. It's challenging but extremely frustrating at the same time.<br><br>Overall, Transformers isn't a BAD game per se. It just isn't a high caliber game. Some of the innovations (size of the world, full voice acting) are amazing for the DS but in the end all that matters is gameplay gameplay gameplay. Check it out if you're a Transformers fan or DS fan. Others? You can pass it.

Transformers:Autobots is not as close to the movie as the other versions{with the exception of decepticons}, and dies out near the-oh,who am I kidding, this game flat out sucked in storyline!! The game takes your character{you make your own} to all the places the had any action in. Unlike the PSP version, this game has a free roam option, which allows you to go to any place the game has taken you. Besides the character you made,it lets you play as other characters in specific levels. Some levels{to me}smetines become impossible to beat, then get even harder! the graphics are pretty good, nice use of the touch screen, could've used better weapons, and meelee fights are a major improvement compared to the PSP version. An average gamer should beat this game within: 1 month.

autobots stink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how is this have a beter rating thn the wii versin of tranformrs. it makes no sense this gam looks way worse compared to the wii version.in the wii you can be autobots and decipticons

The missions are awesome with just a little frustration to them but still really awesome. You don't even have to play missions, you can explore the open world, beating decepticons, scanning vehicles, and just driving around. THREE THUMBS UP FROM ME!!

This game is Reilly <br /> hard but good.I have this game I got it from best by. It's fun but stressful. It's Reilly sort I loved the hole game

This Game Sucked You Should Go Play Some Black Ops After This Stupid Trash If it Were On Fire Add Gasoline To It. &gt;;(

I enjoied this game better than the second game. You can choose your autobot's form, rather than being stuck with it throught the entire game. Also, you can scan flying forms so you can explore levels like never before. <br /> <br />Sadly this game has it's downsides, combat could use a tune-up, many of the missions are very hard. And the humans make you wish you were a decepticon instead. <br /> <br />So to wrap up: <br />You'll love: <br />Choosable forms <br />Ability to fly <br />Amazing moves left out in the 2nd game. <br /> <br />You'll Hate: <br />Frustrating combat system <br />Very Hard missions <br />The humans <br /> <br />Despite the downs, you should really take this game for a spin.
