mugfins Posted May 11, 2004 I've been Optimus Prime for Halloween the past 13 years in a row. I was thinking I would enjoy this game. Has anyone played it or maybe even just seen someone else play it? I think idle thumbs should do a review on this game so I know whether to spend my allowance on it or not.

Spaff Posted May 11, 2004 if you like the new Transformers generation then it's ok. It's using that mini con story line which i personally find a bit ¬ shifty The game play is pure action, imagine GTA where instead of being bored walking around on foot and you search around until you find a good enough car / bike, instead you just press the button and turn into one and wooooo drive around running over decepticons. weeeee I'm Optimis mother fucking Prime!!!!!! some of the people I know that played it said it was pretty challenging, a bit samey but mostly ok... I'd probably try and get a go on it if i were you Also, Being Optimus Prime for 13 years in a row scares me.. show me photographic evidence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted May 12, 2004 I think he's lying and youve bought into it. He does have a very nice suit that he wore to work once. A regular one, with a suit jacket. Not an Optimus Prime suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mugfins Posted May 12, 2004 Okay okay...so I wasn't really Optimus Prime for 13 years in a row. But I did have the Optimus Prime toy and it was really kick ass. I also had some of the original metal transformer jets, before they were all made into plastic. I forgot the game is based on this new Transformers...I've never seen it and would probably hate it. Maybe I'll rent the game first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted May 12, 2004 Mini cons, pfffft At leats he's not a fucking fire engine in this. I ran away when I saw that. And Megatron was some kind of flying hand with bat wings. I didn't dream this, it's all true, it was on T.V. I tell you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radijsje Posted May 14, 2004 Bought it a couple days ago, and so far i like it somewhat. The challenge factor is there & the game looks pretty good. I dont care much for all that minicon blah blah but you still get to kick megatron's ass. (albeit a really odd looking megatron) Level design ranges from okayish to..okayish. Boss battles are excecuted really nice with your autobot of choice & some evil decepticon smashing eachother to bits while racing/flying all over the level. I can imagine the game getting fairly repetitive after awhile though. thankfully there's a lot to unlock (Transformer comics, art, movies etc) and you collect tons of minicons that give your bot added firepower, arnor & abilities. I'm disappointed that you can only choose from 3 autobots & the voice of starscream absolutely sucks monkey balls. All in all it's a pretty solid transformer game and i'd get it just for the cool looking box it's sold in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vansau Posted May 14, 2004 I played a demo at the Sony booth at E3 today. Honestly, I was pretty impressed at how polished the game looked. I saw the Transformers game that came over from Japan a couple of months ago, and the new game by Atari looks so good by comparison that it isn't even funny. I couldn't really hear much, but combat was frantic yet fun and the graphics were pretty damn nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fastback Posted May 16, 2004 This was made by Melbourne House so start worrying. I am told that you can complete the game in a few hours if you zing through it, you can strech it to 20 hours if you are inclined to examine every inch of the landscape. I am going to end this here before I get started on Melbourne House... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
