You are looking at XBOX 360 game Transformers: The Game. A movie involving giant transforming robots beating the tar out of each other though presents a straightforward source of inspiration for an action game. The end result here is sort of Grand Theft Auto with giant robots, with no need to steal cars; because you are the car. A complex storyline is not one of the movie's primary achievements so this game tries to provide as much freedom as possible in exploring the game world and competing in a wide range of missions, from world saving story related tasks to more laid back driving and flying races. You get to play as any of nine different Transformers, including good guys and bad guys, some of which aren't even in the movie. What makes the game interesting is the way in which being a 30 foot tall robot genuinely changes the dynamics of normal third person combat. Not only can you toss cars about like rugby balls and smack rival robots around with lamp posts, but each character has their own unique mix of Sci-Fi weaponry as well. With the ability to transform into a car or jet fighter (or giant robot scorpion) at any time there's a degree of tactical flexibility in the game that's certainly far above that of most other more pedestrian film tie-ins. Features: * Protect Or Destroy The Earth - As the Transformers' war comes to Earth, gamers make the choice to join the Autobots in protecting our planet or to join the Decepticons in destroying it. * The World Is Your Playground - It is up to the gamer to decide how best to use their surrounding environment. * Freedom of Choice - An unprecedented line-up lets gamers experience the massive scale, unique abilities and sheer strength of an army of characters from the Transformers' universe.
