Transformers

[Scumdogg]

So, i rented Transformers, my first game rental in like a year. I didn't expect it to be great, but i heard a few kind words around here and elsewhere about it, so i gave it a shot.

 

Man, this game is terrible.

 

The first level (and Bumblebee) looks gorgeous, but after that it's like they stopped trying. Assuming nobody would finish the first few rounds of mediocre "chase/shoot/chase/shoot" action, i guess.

 

A mission a few levels in where you have to drive down maintenance tunnels, blow up fans, and then escape the blast back down the tunnel had me literally screaming at the tv, something i'm not exactly prone to doing. It just feels so great when 95% of the falling debris blasts right out of the way when you hit it, but ONE piece lodges inexplicably in front of your car, slowing you down and killing you instantly five seconds from mission completion.

 

It's also hilarious when you jump onto a building and cinderblocks and other debris fly off the building across the street without provocation.
