Glass gun is available in campaign, I just gave it a crack. Impressive it is too!Originally Posted by 1AZRAEL1
When I got to Grimlock's level, I felt that the Bruticus level was there mainly as a tutorial for Grimlock's play style. And yeh, I want my Combaticons too. I liked the way they were represented here, very much as a cohesive special operations/SAS team.
I thought this so stank of G1, I wouldn't believe you if you told me it was Prime. As fr big surprises, the one that really got me was Metroplex laying the smackdown on Megatron, although I thought he'd cop it because he is in his WFC body when you first launch the artillery strike on his minions, and is obviously toughened up on the Ark attack. But really I wasn't surprised he died, just by WHOM....If anything, it made the WFC universe MORE Gen1.
Probably the one thing I was disappointed about was the lack of a big surprise....
Technical flaws - as noted by others, the game does freeze up a bit when a large number of the enemy is on screen (Grimlock taking on the Insecticons). And twice in the early levels, my character got stuck (couldn't move in robot mode, despite nothing around to block it), forcing me to jump or transform to get unstuck.
Soundwave's voice sounded wrong... It didn't sound like WFC Soundwave.
And Shockwave just doesn't sound as imposing without the deep resonating tone of the Gen1 Shockwave.
I looked on the leaderboards for the MP games, and even though the game has only been out about 4 days, there is already one person with almost 48 HOURS of game time!
Does anyone else think it is ironic/stupid that if the TECH items weren't allocated to two of the directional buttons on the left of the game-pad, they aren't used at all... despite you needing up/down controlling of your aerial alt-modes. Why use the symbols on the right, when you have up & down buttons on the left that NEVER gets used at all in the game.
Those SDCC Combaticons aren't as game-accurate with the colourings after all. Still a lot closer than the eye-sore fluro colours of the regular retail ones though.
Busy screens and freezing? Mine froze up on the opening scene when Optimus first shows his face. Hardly busy, other time was on the Ark as BB. Very annoying.
Someone has 48hrs online play?????? No wonder I get my ass handed to me on online games.
I missed Shockwaves G1 voice very much, it really took me out of the zone and he never really felt like a Shockwave to me because of it. I think they made Soundwave's voice a bit more gravelly, it sounded to me a bit closer to movie soundwave imo.
I kept forgetting about the TECH items. Never bought any, I would just pick up the ones found around the place, usually the drone thing. Really they are useless, although the gravity bomb thing is cool, but again, I only used it in that one bit where the aim is to teach you about the TECH items... So I didn't realise it only allocated to left and right buttons, I assumed as there were 4 items, drone on left, grav pn right etc etc. What a waste.
I thought the SDCC Combaticons were supposed to be game accurate as well... After playing as them I watched a review and they aren't that close afterall. And they aren't all that g1 accurate either, Vortex and Blastoff are completely wrong.
Oh well, at least I know my G2 colours are game AND toy accurate.
That's one small whinge I have, why is it that I can have G2 Bruticus, but not G2 Vortex or Swindle????
I tried my hand at Escalation, by myself and managed to get to wave 3, easily enough. Found it a little annoying that the powerups aren't differently marked. I was looking for a heavy weapon vending machine and found all sorts of other things going on, but no heavy weapons... Meanwhile, got dudes shooting at me. Not cool! Nice to see traps and the like in there though!
