To add to the formula, nearly everything in Transformers can be smashed, picked up, and used as a weapon. Trees were torn from their roots, light posts were used to knock Decepticon cronies (that looked a bit like the 80's Shockwave, by the way) into buses, and buildings would crack and crumble as Bumblebee scaled them to reach a higher vantage point. If you want to knock a Decepticon on his ass and use him as a projectile, it's all fair game. Likewise, if the local police are getting in your way you can lift them sky-high, scout out a target, and give them a little airborne encouragement to fight the real enemy. It should be noted though, that players can't actually fight physical humans, so rather than having hundreds of puny earthlings nipping at your heels you'll be getting a lot of squad cars, tanks, and helicopters instead. We would have loved to stomp over buildings, ending thousands of lives just to take a short-cut, but it just wasn't in the cards.

[...]On the visual side of things, Transformers comes up a bit short when compared to the more dazzling 360 games out there, but is still a pretty standard visual presentation as far as sandbox games go. The amount of space in the towns and cities are pretty huge from what we could tell, and all graphical goodies such as normal mapping and bloom effects are put to good use. The game uses real-time shadows and has some solid explosion effects, but while the Transformers themselves are pulled directly from the movie models (scaled down a bit, of course), the world around the characters is a bit less impressive as a whole. Cars and buses have more of an Xbox look, rather than 360, and the human models are totally basic. Still, the game's presentation has a solid feel, with the camera bouncing to follow the robots' heavy steps, or shaking wildly as buildings crumble to the ground. It isn't the most visually-appealing title out there, but it does carry a decent overall style. As a quick note on audio, there's no official word yet as to whether or not the main actors will be used for VO or not, but we can tell you that the opening cinema (which had a pretty cool look), did have the voice of Optimus Prime included in it. They even end it with a classic line; one shall stand, one shall fall.

der titel für die ps2 war ja ganz in ordnung (zumindest hat er recht gute wertungen bekommen und für damalige verhältnisse toll ausgesehen). :)

@sk/\r: dürfte auch auf anderen plattformen erscheinen.
