Blackout gets to roam over a patch of desert, laying waste to the Army depots dotting the sands. The fact that players are given a choice at all is great, especially when it alters which levels you play on and which Transformers you get to use.The first level for the Decepticon faction lets players jump into the mass destruction as Blackout, a Transformer who can turn into an assault helicopter. The first thing to do is choose which side you want to fight on вЂ“ Decepticon or Autobot. Transformers tackles this ground in a theoretically good way. WeвЂ™ve got two teams of huge robots who can turn into all manner of fast-moving vehicles and a simple, but effective plot device which allows for a globe-hopping adventure. Literally.In other words, itвЂ™s very fertile ground for a video game experience.

All the vehicles behave the same, which is good for absolute beginners but a major pain for experienced gamers who want to have some height control when in a helicopter. Transformer mode is good for combat obviously, hurling cars around and blasting drones to pieces or climbing over buildings, while vehicle mode is best for speedy navigation and getting from A to B quickly. The levels tend to be quite rudimentary and bland however, dotted with identi-kit buildings and only occasional landmarks like a power station.Levels are dotted with collectible items and extra tasks to pick up, none of which are hard to find thanks to the floating, yellow and purple appearance of the sparkling collectibles that contrast heavily with the bland environments.Navigating the levels is fun at first and players can freely switch between a vehicle and Transformer mode. Exploring is very much encouraged in fact because the number of missions is often quite few before the chapter changes. Players control a single Transformer in a mid-sized area which can be explored openly. Bumblebee gets a selection of small missions which involve racing around the suburbs, pounding the crap out of any Decepticon drones he finds on the way.Whichever side you choose to side with, gameplay is essentially the same.
