Looks like Activision are gearing for a multi-format release of a new TF game, based upon the new Movie out this July 07.

Think GTA/Crackdown with TF on cybertron and maybe earth - From what I hear everything you see can be used as a weapon, including other TF, depending on your size and stength etc... an Online co-op mode, like Crackdown could make this a godsend of a game for us all...

More information can be found over at IGN, scroll down the page to read about a hands on impression, and an interesting opening statment about how fans are pissed off with the new movies direction... seems its not just us then!!

Hmm, you know.. this doesn't actually sound that bad at all!

It actually sounds as if it might be rather entertaining, it's even getting a Wii-version and everything!

I will of course wait and see after some T-fans and civilian reviews.

More on the game from the Publishers.

TRANSFORMERS: THE GAME
FACT SHEET FOR ALL VERSIONS (Gameplay information based on console and PC versions)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Based on TRANSFORMERS, DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures’ upcoming live-action feature film due out July 4th, and produced in association with Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS: The Game lets gamers control the outcome in the battle for Earth as they choose to protect it as AUTOBOTS or destroy it as DECEPTICONS. Players will also experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favorite ROBOTS IN DISGUISE such as BUMBLEBEE, BARRICADE and others.

KEY FEATURES:
• Protect Or Destroy The Earth – As the TRANSFORMERS robot’s war comes to Earth, gamers make the choice to join the AUTOBOTS in protecting our planet or to join the DECEPTICONS in destroying it. With dual campaigns, the fate of the world is in players’ hands.

• MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE – Instantly change from a larger than life robot to a high-powered vehicle such as a sports car, fighter jet or helicopter. Seamless transformations leave enemies in the dust or enhance players’ combat strategy with a range of options in both vehicle and robot modes that take full advantage of the characters’ dual forms.

• The World Is Your Playground – Players crush, topple and wreck every object, including buildings and vehicles, in their path or use the objects as weapons. 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 when they choose to play as OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON, IRONHIDE, STARSCREAM, BUMBLEBEE and more.

• Variety of Combat – For head-to-head battles, fans engage in melee combat that reflects each TRANSFORMERS robot’s character, scale, weight and power along with melee weapons and special moves unique to each character. The game’s ranged combat offers a wide array of projective weapons designed to take out enemies from afar.

• PlayStation® Portable Features – The PSP version features 20 playable AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, from both the live-action film and previous generations, that battle through an enhanced version of the film’s storyline. Players can customize their character by choosing more than 10 different weapon types in both single and adhoc multiplayer gameplay

I wonder why the PSP version gets different TF? perhaps its a totaly different game?

I hope this is a decent GTA/crackdown rip off with TF id like that.

Traveller's Tales (the developers) are the same people who did the Lego Star Wars games, so hopefully this could be quite good!

Also Lego Stars is apparently modable (not done it myself), so here's hoping!
