From the article:- The demonstration showed three levels from the game.
- The game will focus mostly on the Transformers no the human characters.
- Game opens on a "gorgeous cinematic" that tells about the Transformers war with voice over from Peter Cullen.
- The movie shows lot of TF detail, complex robot forms and fluid movement, including shot of Megatron flying across the screen.
- Game screen provides option to play as Decepticons or Autobots.
- The CGI models developed for the movie is being used for the game. I wonder if that is the case for the Wii version.
- Missions instructions are provided by Optimus Prime.
- Drones come from the sky like fireballs.
- 13 drone designs total for the game that writer described more mech like that TF like. They are cannon fodder though so kind of has its own logic.
- Can transform at any time.
- Bumblebee's alt mode, 76 Camaro drives like a "real 70s muscle car". Car can jump and has Nitro boost with ability to run down objects similar to Grand Theft Auto.
- Next level demonstrated was of Blackout attacking the Takar base (like from the movie)
- Mode dictates where attacks from. Copter means from air, robot from the ground. Sounds like these Decepticons have to actually be in a mode that can fly to fly unlike the cartoons where they flew at will.
- Last level was as Bumblebee being attacked by Barricade before becoming a car chase mode between the two.
Overall the game sounds like its might be good and more then just the usual crappy movie port done for games. Based on the high level of detail used for the Transformers thanks to the use of the movie CGI models, it seems like this will be a game that makes full use of the next gen consoles. It also makes me curious how the game will differ from the Wii which while a fun system, doesn't have the same graphical horsepower.
