looks like this is the Batman AA of 2010.

I am sure everyone is excited for a Transfomers game that doesn't suck like the last two did. 

" looks like this is the Batman AA of 2010. "

I downloaded the multiplayer demo last night pretty much on a whim, and I was blown away by how much fun it was. Everyone should seriously give it a shot if you're at all interested in the game. In fact, I think people should give it a shot if they're even just interested in a good third-person shooter. It may not have the most original concepts, but it executes them very well. And it's hard to discount the fun factor.

edit: and please no "its a transformers game, yes it has bots" jokes :P "

All I hope from this is that it's fun and has easy achievement points.

Wow, I'm glad to see this game has got some real potential. I'm looking forward to it even more now :)

No bots in Multi, sorry.

I played the demo, it was fun. I won't be able to afford the full game for a while though :( I really hope it's Batman AA of 2010, because I really like transformers.

" @Rhaknar:  I haven't had a chance to try the full game out yet because I'm still at work, but I doubt it has bots for multiplayer. I imagine that the gameplay is probably pretty similar in single player and by all accounts the single player campaign is worth playing. Although if you don't have Gold, you'd probably want to just rent it instead of buying it. Like Gears, Halo or MW2, the bigger draw here seems to be the multiplayer, given how much time and thought they appear to have put into it. "

Played it at e3 and actually was surprised by its fun gameplay!

" @Rhaknar:  Dang, dude, that sucks. Yeah, given your particular situation, I'd probably wait to see if you can get it on sale of something. "

cant rent games where I live. It's buy or not play. It's alright, I'm used to it. God bless the UK and their freakashly fast discount on new games, it should be cheaper in a month or so, depending on how well it sells there "

ill probably wait until its around 25quid, which seems to be the magical mark that every fucking game (except the uber popular ones like RDR) gets to after a few months. Hell, I just got PoP (the new one) for 24.99 from amazon, and the game came out less than a month ago

Steam is selling this badboy for $39 on the PC and I think walmart has it for consoles today (only) for $39 as well
It's incomming on steam right now, I'm pretty pumped! Big transformers fan here

8 from Gamesradar
B+ from 1UP 

I think the Walmart for 39.99 is only for Canada (and elsewhere? not US) as I checked local area and online and it's at regular price. 
 
Surprised by the very good reviews, and almost had an impulse buy but didn't pull the trigger. The TNT might change that though, but I really, really need to probably wait until a price drop.

I didn't enjoy the time I spent with the multiplayer demo.  The map seemed incredibly generic, and the gameplay felt like "been there, done that" type of stuff. 
 
Seeing reviews that are this positive, it has me really wanting to check it out.  Between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Batman: Arkham Asylum, I've learned that you've gotta give the underdog licensed game a chance nowadays.

I'm getting a free copy of this from Activision (cuz I suck Kotick's balls) so I can't wait after hearing all these reviews

I wasn't really impressed with the multiplayer, so  I didn't think the reviews would be that good. But its getting good numbers, I think i saw something saying it was 40$ at walmart, i might pick it up.

I gave it a rent this afternoon when the reviews hit... and so far, I must say I'm quite impressed with how entertaining the game is... I'm just playing the single player campaign for right now, but graphically it's strong, the audio is good, the gameplay is fluid and a lot of fun, and it is hitting all those -- I love Transformers and clearly so do the developer -- nerd highlight moments.  Loving it so far, probably pick it up down the road to keep. 

really happy hearing this game is solid, i loved the demo and can't wait to check it out.

This game is Tits McGee. I'm not that far into the single player but there's already tons of fan-service. If you grew up on Transformers G1, you should really play this. I spent the bulk of my time playing the multiplayer and it is fantastic! Each class plays different enough to keep things interesting. So far i'm really liking "King of The Hill" and, when people communicate, "Plant The Bomb". King of The Hill is awesome amounts of mayhem and is guaranteed to get you jacked like the killstreak music in MAG. Already had a couple insane comebacks where we were losing 90% of the match and it was money.
 
Oh and the best part is, in Canada anyways, it's going for $40 at a buncha places like Bestbuy/Futureshop.

Just finished up the Decepticon story......damn. I have been waiting for this game for over 20 years. No rose tinted goggles here, they did an amazing job. 

Eh, I'll remain skeptical.

Question: 
 
In the commercial for this game do they use that song from Boogie Nights?

"Eh, I'll remain skeptical. "

I heard the single player campaign is really short ( < 7 hours for both Autobots & Decepticons ) which has me hesitant.

" @Atramentous: Really? I mean, I've only finished 2 missions. But honestly, I'm still on the fence as to whether the writing is laughably bad, or purposefully laughably bad. It feels like a well designed third-person shooter. And unless you really enjoy those, there's very little you can take away from that. They're goofy combat rooms separated by either a pseudo-puzzle (what item do I shoot in the environment now?) or a string of hallways to vary the gameplay. The first time I heard "dark energon," I laughed out loud.  I suppose I expect too much from my narrative. Shooting robots with the intention of destroying the other faction of robots is all most people really need.  But again, this is just robuts shootin' robuts. You can only make Transformers' fiction so mentally stimulating. With that said, the core mechanics are very well polished, and I would throw down $60 on this game if I had the money. It all comes together fantastically in the multiplayer. "

This was unexpected. Good to hear!

I rented it. Seems pretty good, nothing extraordinary or anything, but not bad by any means.

joystiq 4/5 (yeah they give scores now)

I found the demo pretty damn fun.

" Good lord, I finally lived to see the day that I get a great Batman and Transfomers game. in the same console generation too. "

The game is solid sure, but come on,  people are seriously comparing this to Batman:AA? Really?

I find the game clunky and visual uninteresting. I'd stake $60 on making that claim legitimately, but the demo made me really doubt that this game is worth the money. 
 
From what I've played of it I have to agree with Jeff's review whole heartedly.
