  1. Transformers on the DS is a fun and challenging game and surprisingly superior to the lackluster effort on the PSP.
  2. This may be the first time in video game history that a licensed DS title far exceeds the movie it's based on. [Sept 2009, p.90]
  3. 70
    The finished product has its issues, but at the very least, it's a satisfying action game and represents the Transformers well.
  4. Some decent variety, but a lot of bugs can bog the experience down.

  1. SUCKS compared to the first and war for cybertron, Joe S. is right, no good. I hade MAJOR hopes for it, and it poof the instant sound wave said "You can not change your form!" this is what I say $#!t f***. Terouble MULITIPLAYER.
    I was expecting, charecters- Create a bot, Megatron, Starscream, Brawl, THE Fallen and Grindor. Locations- Tranquility, Egypt, Shang Hi, and Decpeticons- Ocean floor, Autobots- Muesam to find Jetfire
    Autobot charecters- Create a bot, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Jetfire But it is accteptible in one field, dissapointing it's players.

    After having a lot of fun with the first DS Transformers game for the first film, I had high hopes for this game too. I figured the game play would be generally the same with a few bonus tweaks. I was sorely disappointed. Unlike in the first game, where you could scan many different types of vehicles and become any one of them, you're stuck with one form in this game. Unlike the first game, the storyline doesn't so much follow the movie and add to the background as it just decides to rewrite it. The boss battles are quite possibly the lamest they could possibly be. The challenge missions that you're required to complete are just frustrating, and overall, the game is excruciatingly short. I beat it in a matter of hours. If you're going to get a Transformers DS game, get the game from the first movie. I'd give that one an 8.5. This iteration can hardly be called a game. Expand
