Transformers: Dark of the Moon screens are exactly what meets the eye

@EliminatorZigma Who actually buys handheld versions of movie games? There usually worse than the console versions, which usually suck.

@Jay Z
Actually, the handheld versions tend to be better, at leas the DS ones (PSP tends to get console ports). Look at Sega's travesties with the past Marvel movie games. Iron Man, Hulk, just recently Thor, etc. are all mediocre on the consoles, but the DS versions are actually above average to great, and can be a lot of fun due to the gameplay changes.

I remember the other DS Transformers movie games being pretty good too, though if the 3DS and Wii versions will be similar, its hard to say the 3DS version will be good.

@Howard Roark
Give humans most the screen time.. and add lots of explosions.. and megan fox in revealing clothes or running in unsupportive bra

... They're OK.. not awesome like the cartoon movie

If you have never seen the new Transformers movies, this sums it up.

1. More humans than Transformers. Expect to see lots of twisted metal in fights where you can't identify who's on-screen. Bumblebee doesn't talk due to "damage". forget what you know about the Allspark and Transformers origin, it's all changed here. "Nerdy guy getting hot chick" storyline incredibly predictible.

For 2, it's better, and there is more Transformers screen time, but ignore the twins, they are the single-most annoying part of the movie. They seemed at least to care at least a little bit more about slapping old names on completely unrelated Transformers, so you see Jetfire and he's, GASP, an actual jet who's a former Decepticon.

And nothing, NOTHING will prepare you for Optimus Prime's lips. Seriously, they relegated his mouthplate to a faceplate shield, and he talks with lips the rest of the time.

@Drakkenfyre If I remember right... Optimus uses lips to appear better to humans... Mouth shield is way better than lips

@Howard Roark The Bouf isn't so bad. Yeah the plot of him getting with a hot chick while acting like a total spaz is predictable and stupid, but I don't mind him in the role.

Oh, and if you watch the second one be prepared for an extreme excess of spinny cam. Seriously, I think that 75% of the movie involved the camera spinning around different people.

@Howard Roark
IMHO, Transformers 2 is one of the worst summer blockbusters ever made. The writing of both movies is crap and its very hard to tell the robots apart.
Plus, the Autobots come across the as the villains since their goal in both movies is to basically doom their species to extinction.

@Drakkenfyre

I find your whole opinion to be racist and offensive. There is no room for anti-mechanism on Joystiq.

@Negatron
Racist like the twins? Or racist like a dog-humping robot?

@rambo8 War for Cybertron is easily the best transformers game made, which undersells it quite a bit. The game's got a pretty solid online mode, and the single player's not bad either. I would definitely recommend it, especially for the 25 bucks they're asking for on amazon.

@(Unverified) It's lagtastic on PS3 (full on P2P.. barely 2000 players on PS3 (something like 400 on PC) during XP events)... Compared to Uncharted, it felt like WFC was on dial up or worse

@rambo8 It's a great game. Nonstop action, great graphics, good story. Must have for Transformer fans. My only complaint is the color palette tend to be either purple or gray. It's nice to see in this new game that they've liven up the colors!

@Mazrael

hahahaha. Sorry, but you're exactly what Activision is banking on. 60 dollars spent on a game that took 6 months to make.

@HighFiveJesus

Indeed... I'm a sucker for robots in diguise

I heard they took out Megan fox


Yeah i'm not going to watch it either....

@arucious, Wait, wait, wait! You're saying that isn't a good thing?.

@southernpredator

Michael Bay ruined it first.

Yeah, they're usually a lot better, but the graphics aren't really a great marketing tool.

@Giroro


Then for you my friend, i think glasses are in order.

@Giroro

I was never a really big fan of Bay's design. Just a big amalgam of moving parts. He uses the bright colors now so we can tell em apart. no design... just colors.
