Magnetic Gamer review Fri, 18 Dec 2009

I am always against replacing technology, especially when it's working and often feel we should use what we have until it no longer works hence the fact I still use a BBC Micro on a daily basis. Amusingly Transformers on the DS popped up with its re-invented characters after a lengthy discussion with my dear partner over replacing / upgrading our current perfectly working washing machine.

Megatron, Optimus Prime and all, have been reworked in a pseudo anime style, in this wonderfully paced action puzzle game. The game is divided between puzzle platform adventure and action racing and the fact you can "transform" whilst zooming down a highway is a really nice touch and made the ten year old child in me smile. I mentioned it already but I really like the pace of this game, it's not too slow and laborious, and it moves very well. It's not too fast and tense, it's perfect for the 7-10 year old age range. The puzzles are suitably complex to challenge them and the racing isn't to far beyond their skill level either. One of the nicest elements of the racing section is that you move from lane to lane one lane at a time,instead of one pixel at a time which makes it a lot easier for the younger player to judge and avoid other cars.

Returning Gamer review Wed, 19 Aug 2009

Transformers are massive! Not just big-building-massive but worldwide-popularity-massive. The toys sell in their millions and since the 80's cartoon show the Transformers have always had a truly massive following. And so with no surprise the game to the latest Transformers film is released and I - the ever pessimistic - expected it to be rubbish, because as massive as Transformers is it surely couldn't avoid the movie to game curse that ensured that almost every conversion was just plain bad.

But here I have to admit that I have been proved wrong. The genius here is that although the game is in some ways pretty average, it manages to hit every button that I want hit when I purchase the game. If you are about to buy this game you are either going to be a Transformers fan or a parent of a Transformers fan. With this in mind it caters for its audience well.
