Transformers: Decepticons

"Definetely more than meets the eye."

While sceptical at first as to whether anyone could actually make a good movie spin-off video game, im proud to say that this game shows that they can.

Sound: 10

Wow, they hit this one strait on. With voice acting for every single spoken dialogue throughout the game, amazing sound effects that enhance the reality, and music that fits the game perfectly, its no surprise that this game gets a 10 on sound.

Graphics: 9
While they may seem a little it murky, when the game really gets moving they become nothing more than a passing shadow of a thought. Also, when you compare them to nearly every other DS game out on the market, their pretty dang good. Plus, with the beautiful animations of the transformations, who's complaining?

Story: 8
Whether or not this game follows the movie it still has a pretty good story. It doesn't have enough to strangle you to the depths of not caring, but it still has enough to allow you to know why you are doing what you are doing besides the fact that some guy told you to do it.

Controls: 10
The controls for this game are tight, through and through. Whether you are flying a helicopter, driving a car, or climbing a wall, the games controls make it feel like a walk in the park.

Gameplay: 10
obviously, this is where the game shines. There are so many different styles of gameplay found within this game that you would think that at least one would have to suck, but the truth is, none of them do! They really knew what they were doing when they made this game. The fighting is nice with its tight, responsive controls. The driving and flying controls are also nicely done. The RPG factor of the game is also well made. With every defeat you gain more experience points. if you level up you may get a new move or just raise all of your stats. The harder the enemy, the more XP. Its your classic RPG style and it works surprisingly well in this game.

So there you have it. I am usually pretty good at deciding what is or isn't a good game, and believe me, your not going to want to miss this little gem.
