IGN has put up an article that covers some of the info about the upcoming video game that is coming out for the Transformers movie. The game is being released by Activision but developed by Traveller's Tales studio for the PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, and XBox 360 with the PSP and Nintendo DS getting games later in the year. Traveller's also worked on the Lego Star Wars game so there is a good rep there.Between a early preview look and interview with Andy Burrows of Traveller's Tales, a few details have come out.
- Two separate campaigns, one for Decepticons and one for the Autobots.
- The game story is an expanded re-telling of the movie's storyline.
- Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Ironhide confirmed as playable characters with more unannounced, each having special skills and abilities.
- All characters can transform at anytime.
- Environments will be fully destructible and elements can be used as weapons.
- Games play attempts to use the transformations as a useful tool in game play rather then an add-on.
- Game will have characters not in the movie but pay homage to G1 TFs. No mention if those would be playable.
- No playable humans, but some do show up probably to help advance the story.
- Game designers are hoping to use the movie voice talent in the film but didn't confirm if they where able to or not.
- Game layout is similar to GTA or True Crime with one large level with points to show destination, enemies, and objectives.
- Includes a good/evil meter to encourage good or evil behavior depending on chosen faction.
- Decepticon cronies look similar to G1 Shockwave but could change.
- More details may come out during the New York ToyFare.
