The words "greatest game ever made" get thrown around a lot these days but I have to believe that this new Transformers game based on the 1980s cartoon might just be the greatest game ever made. If not the greatest at least it's at least top 3. Right up there with Pac-Man and Zork..
All hyperbole aside this new Transformers game looks pretty cool. The details from E3 are still a bit sketchy but it looks like it will be available on all the usual consoles including the WiiU, Xbox 360 and PC. You get to play as one of 5 classic Autobots and you will face around 30 Deceptacons. It doesn't seem like it will be very story heavy, probably just a big old brawler. When the game looks as good as this one does it doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, fun is the key word here.
It's an interesting decision by Activision for sure. While the Transformers are still a big intellectual property most kids know them from the awful Michael Bay movies or the newer cartoons like Prime and Rescue Bots (which are actually pretty decent). The decision to pander to all the 80s babies who grew up on the likes of Jazz, Hound and Mirage is kind of risky. Hopefully it will be a big hit. If for no other reason than I'd like to see more video games based off cartoons/toys from the 80s. M.A.S.K, Thundercats, He-Man... or dare I dream, GI Joe?
