Transformers: ROTF?

[coolscooter3375]

Ok, here's a brief review for you (brief since I rented the game and was damn glad I didn't buy it!!)

I won't go into the storyline as you can work that out from the movie, but basically you can choose your side, Auotobot or Decepticon, and then you go through the (insanely boring) tutorial. Once you have dragged your sorry ass round the city performing tasks to prove you can press buttons on your controller, you can move on to the first mission.

While the missions are pretty well thought tou, the controls are way too cumbersome. Why you have to hold the RT button to stay in vehivle mode is beyond me. it should be one click to vehicle mode, then click again for robot mode. then you have to lhold RT while aiming the sights and driving and pressing the blue button to fire your weapon...........

Needless to say I lost interest after the second mission, and my 5 year old son who is Transformers mad even thought it was crap.

In short - if you don't trust me - rent it..... you'll be sorry if you buy!

I was looking forward to the rent so badly that when It came i was late for work as I wanted to try it. Sadly controlls-wise you are right the "hold RT to stay in vehicle mode is insanely stupid. Will check tonight to see if there is an option to turn it off. The rest of the game seems like its pretty good but will make up my mind when I've played it abit more. The previous game to this was nothing on the Transformers game that came out for the PS2.
