Transforming robots have always seemed a concept uniquely suited to video games, allowing you to switch between on foot combat and four wheeled (or whatever) racing at the press of a button. Who Bulkhead is remains a mystery, but three out of four isn't bad. The bendy art design seems strangely inappropriate for a bunch of robots but the images of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron looming out from the box cover are familiar enough. Instead Transformers Animated: The Game seems to be some sort of new fangled modern show – even though the theme tune is almost exactly the same. Or rather, I could if this was the old-skool Generation 1 cartoon series. Here though, your loyal correspondent can speak as a source of some authority on all things Autobot and Decepticon. Not that it has any real bearing on the game but sometimes we reviewers only have a fairly vague understanding of the source material, particularly if it's a movie that's not out yet. Luckily, for gamers not all of the Transformers titles have been bad, so here are 8 of the best along with 7 of the worst.An awful lot of portable games, particularly on the DS, are tie-ins to some sort of kids' movie or TV show.
There have been so many nostalgic gamers and film fans who grew up watching the original cartoons have found that sense of nostalgia completely shattered either by Michael Bay's interpretations or video game tie-ins that failed to live up the expectations. Unfortunately, many of the video games based on the line of Transformers toys (that started the franchise back in 1984) haven't reached the same heights set by the quality of the Generation 1 cartoons, or the box office success of the film franchise.ĭespite the franchise being almost perfect for a line of video games, many of the Transformers games have been mediocre or plain terrible.
It's not all bad new for fans though, because there is a new animated TV series based on the original Generation 1 series and toyline coming too. Especially since there are already two more films planned after this one. Now that the fifth entry of the billion dollar movie franchise Transformers: The Last Knight is upon us, the Michael Bay-directed action showcases aren't showing any signs of slowing down.
