Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game will be released tomorrow and I’m pretty excited.  I found the first game difficult at times but I really enjoyed playing it.  It will be available for the Xbox 360, PSP, PS2, PS3, PC, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

This third-person shooter game will be similar to the first in some ways since it will allow gamers to choose between two campaigns – one for the Autobots and another for the Decepticons.  The game will be based on the film’s plot but will also include some additional missions and characters.

As I mentioned earlier, there were times when I found the first game a little too challenging (if I’m being honest, there were levels that I could have easily completed but I just didn’t want to go through the whole thing) so I am happy to learn that in this version, players will be able to pick and choose which missions they’d like to complete.  I’m noticing that more and more games are taking this non-linear route and I prefer it, for the most part.

There are five different multiplayer modes to choose from (this varies from one console to the next so make sure you read the game packaging for more information) but, of course, I’d have to really play the game before I could really explain how they work.

I was able to find a list of the characters that will be appearing in the game.  They are as follows:

Autobots – Aerialbot, Breakaway, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Jetfire, Optimus Prime, Protectobot and Ratchet.

Decepticons – Demolishor, Devastator, The Fallen, Grindor, Long Haul, Megatron, Ravage, Scrapper, Seeker, Sideways, Soundwave and Starscream.
