ACTIVISION Transformers Devastation - Xbox 360

Me encanto!!!

This is great fun, if you're a fan of video games and of the "Generation 1" (1980's) Transformers cartoon. I find this presentation far more appealing than the Michael Bay CGI characters. There are no human characters to get into the way of your robot fighting this time. Here it's all about following Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Sideswipe, Grimlock and Wheeljack on a series of puzzles and brawls against Megatron and his evil decepticon goons. The gameplay is easy to learn and before long you'll be trading fisticuffs with Shockwave, Blitzwing, and other infamous bad guys from the tv show. The other fun thing is that you can turn into your "vehicle" mode any time you want, and even use it in attacks. So cruise around the streets as a car, truck, or robot dinosaur breathing fire. You can throw cars around and smash trees to find "energon" to heal up. It's too bad you can't become a plane or climb up the side of a building (something only the villains can do in this one). A simple radar shows you where you're supposed to go, and if you die, you can restart the mission to try again, until you reach the next save point (certain power ups let you revive without losing your progress). Autobot labs sprinkled throughout the levels offer an oasis to buy/sell off collected weapons and "research technology" (little bonuses that can be applied in combinations to your robots to tweak out their stats).This is essentially a third person action beat-em up game, using excellent cell shaded graphics, voice acting from some of the original actors who did the Transformers US tv series (G1) and has the stylings and visuals of "The Movie." Your robot can be customized to carry up to four weapons, one of them has to be a melee (fists, sword, drill, etc) and one has to be a projectile weapon (machinegun, laser cannon, grenade, etc) and the other two are up to you. Along the way you have many optional side missions (basically puzzles involving finding or collecting objects or tagging targets). You'll start was the leader of the Autobots and gradually unlock the various characters, then you can replay missions with anyone you want. The bad guy fights are awesome, you'll go against the HUGE devestator and swarms of insecticons, or teams of bad guys.At first you may be overwhelmed and frustrated. You'll need to rest your eyes (and ears) after awhile, because the presentation is so high adrenaline and over the top (I love cranking my original G1 soundtrack CD's instead of the generic music included with the game). Eventually you'll unlock new moves (which if used properly make the game unfairly easy) and fights will be a breeze. Then it becomes a game of "how cool can I look" and "how many bonus points can I get." There are ways to earn money and "level up" your character, but it's mostly under the hood stuff, the basic visuals don't change much. You'll also cover the same areas a lot which may get boring.If I had to nitpick, I'd point out that Megatron in the show always transformed into a "gun" not a tank. This is a livable change, but it just feels lazing when several of the other bad guys also turn into tanks, and we had another decepticon that uses his "gun" form but why not the most famous one? Anyway, the true biggest drawback to this game is the total lack of multiplayer. I would have loved to do a split screen coop mssion, or even a deathmatch with these characters, or go online, but none of that appears here (though it does appear in some of the Michael Bay inspired games released on the same systems right before this one). The cutscenes are fun and are almost as cool as the TV show, but bring back a lot of memories nonetheless. The ending leaves things open for a sequel, so I really hope we get that on the Xbox 360, and please, please, with multiplayer options this time, okay? Thanks.

Challenging game. Takes a little time to figure out how to proceed to the next challenge sometimes. Fun playing requiring skill.
