Transformers The Video Games First Impressions

Gamespot.com has posted an article that covers their first impression of the XBox 360 version of Transformers The Video Games which is based on the movie.

The highlights:
- 9 Transformers in total to control, with choice of which faction will play as.
- For the Autobots: Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Ironhide.
- For the Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Scorponok, and Barricade
- No human characters will be in the game.
- Its a combo of third-person action, driving and flying in 7 different environments.
- So far just a city and desert environment confirmed but some will be "treats" for TF fans.
- Everything will be destructible with many elements usable as weapons. Also robots can climb building etc.
- The demo played was the opening city location, tutorials and Bumblebee play.
- Morality system in game, with Decepticons going for destruction and Autobots scored by good deeds.
- Also have a "wanted" system where havoc caused is related to how much effort human forces will be used to stop the TFs. Sector 7 is greatest threat on that scale.
- Secret Transformers (who not mentioned) will be in the game, no indication if will be playable.
- One button tranformations at anytime.
- Peter Cullen, as Optimus Prime, has contributed to the game. No indication if other actors will once cast.
- The game will cater to original G1 fans in some form.
- Ultimately the game will get released on the 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, and PCs.
