With Huge Savings!
Transformers
Transformers: The Game will pack four ad-hoc multiplayer games for you and up to three friends. There's deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag (renamed Secure the AllSpark) and king of the hill (rechristened Ascension Rites) along with ten maps for you to blast your buds on. We tried out one multiplayer arena -- a gray canyon where we had been taking out helicopters and tanks in the single-player campaign -- and the environment seemed a little empty, but there was plenty of action between blowing up an in-level bridge and trying to catch up with Optimus Prime as he rushed the AllSpark back to his base.
Catching AllSpark runners such as Prime will come down to what weapons you're packing. Before the onset of a mission or multiplayer match, players will arm themselves with four weapons from the stockpile they've unlocked in single-player. That might not seem like much, but when used correctly the mix-and-match system can amplify your combat style. The shotgun might be your favorite weapon, but it's not going to do much in a long-range battle.
However, arm the EMP as one of your weapons and you can turn the tide in your favor -- incapacitate the opponent with the pulse, run up on him or her and unload your shells.Whereas the home versions of Transformers focus on using your massive robot fists to take out the bad guys (and good guys), the PSP chose to make those four weapons your favorite attack and modified the control scheme to match. The triangle and X buttons will control the pitch (up and down, dummy) of your crosshairs while square functions as attack. On the D-pad, up is your super-powered special move, right cycles through the four weapons you've chosen and down locks on to an enemy.
Off topic, you can transform at any time by pressing the left and right triggers together. Besides looking cool, the move provides a welcome burst of speed compared to lumbering around as a giant robot.
