Shockingly good reviews thus far. I figured this game was basically a C grade title.

Did they get a good Chris Latta clone for Starscream's voice?
Good reviews keep coming in. Hmm I think I better order this from Amazon.co.uk, at least that way I get Jazz and can be sure that the game is in English. I am sure those Activision fuckers still don't release multilanguage titles here in Germany and I want to hear Peter Cullen do his thing.
IGN - 9.0'd
Glad I went with my gut feeling when I bought this.
Anyone want to try out the online coop? My tag is is up on the Teletran GAF.

Didn't have to go pick up a copy, my dad did as a (couple of hours) belated birthday gift. My dad didn't know which console to get if for, so the clerk gave him a 360 copy. Most of my friends have PS3s, and I don't have an actual Live account more than a trial, but meh.
Only have played one mission so far, but from the menu, it seems intertwined.
Starscream sounded pretty weak. He sounds like he's trying to impersonate Latta, but unlike Dobson, or Kenny, he's not doing a decent job. The voice also sounds very familiar.

blocked.. can anyone give the final evaluation. Thanks
Summary of IGN review:
Between a 12 hour singleplayer campaign with full 3 player co-op, Escalation, and a swath of awesome multiplayer modes, WFC could last you well into this Summer.
EDIT: Btw, the MP modes in the game are still host dependent...so please tell others when you are about to quit if you can. Yes, even escalation mode.

Wow a 9 from IGN was unexpected. Most of the reviews are falling in around the 8 - 8.5 area which made the game a must buy for me. As a fan I'm auto adding 1 point to all review scores.
Got my PS3 copy today, that 39.99 sale made this a slam dunk day 1 purchase.

Thanks for posting the ign overview. Still don't know if my wallet can take another game purchase. So hard to resist Transformers.

How the fuzzy did you pull this off?? Please shareJohngPR said:Added.
Also for those that didn't preorder from Best Buy, the new copies that Best Buy has on the shelves seem to be the ones with Jazz packed in, at least it was like that at my local Best Buy.
My willpower wasn't wavered, I was there to get my $10 copy of Blur.

I'm waiting on some info on the PS3 version before I get it.
UE3 games on PS3 have been OK for a while to my knowledge ....

Anyone know of any good deals for this game going around? I'm looking for deals at retail stores, not online stores.

listen to the mad man
I am blown away that this game did not get 6.5-7.5 reviews. Really, really surprised. Good on the developers if they actually managed to make the game as good as that review suggests.

Yeah. I keep on running out of ammo in singleplayer. But other then that tiny little factor. This game is glorious.
For anyone wondering where to redeem the codes at, go here. It's really not that hard the instructions are either on the gamestop reciept or the back of the insert lol.
Just started playing and its awesome. So far no ammo issues. There is actually a lot scattered around so far its just not the easiest thing to see.

Stuck at the office right now. The box sure looks nice though
From what I've heard though both versions are basically identical.
The MP demo was entertaining but so far the campaign is underwhelming.
I played up to about the middle of the second Decepticon chapter, and the lack of enemy variety and poor AI are making it seem more like a chore than something fun.
Good:
-VO work is solid and entertaining
-Level designs feature some cool cybertron-ish touches
-The gameplay itself is simple and solid
-Transforming is satisfying
Bad:
-Enemies feel worthless to fight
-Ammo (wtf)
-Solider type is not fun to play as
-Other weapons don't feel like they fit in the Transformers universe
-Feels like a b-movie game sometimes....

Really curious about this as well. I have an idea of what this version could be getting (pretty low number is appear in my head) but still would like to see what people say about it. I just would like to see better quality videos of this version as well. While I might be crazy with not going with the PS3/360 version right away I'm honestly curious about this version.

Alright, I know this is off topic but I'll answer it here so those asking can see.
First you'll need this:
and the manufacturer's coupon here:
http://www.blurgamepromotion.com/
use the gamer's club coupon first. .then the manufacturer's coupon. The game's on sale right now for $39.99 which is why you end up getting it for $9.99 plus tax.
Word of warning though, the first thing the Cashier asked me was if I was a Rewards zone Gamers Club member and asked for my info. I suggest signing up for both Reards Zone and Gamers Club before you go. It's free so it's not that big of a deal.
To be more on topic, I just played some team deathmatch and without trying to sound too fanboyish, HOLY SHIT it's fun! lol
I got into a game right away, no disconnects, no lag and had a great time. Looking forward to unlocking more chasis and weapons in the multiplayer.
