Well, for one, also like a Michael Bay movie, the video game version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen tries to do too much. This is gaming that puts you at the controls of a giant robot and tells you to blow stuff up.
There are few distractions, almost no indication that this game had anything to do with a movie, no plot, and you can choose your missions almost at random as they are unlocked by your play to any given point. This is gaming distilled down to the basics of what makes playing such a thrill. So what do you do? Plow ahead, racing your way to various goals, blowing away any of the enemies in your way. Every mission is scored based on the amount of time it takes the player to beat it, and if you stop to hide for a second - a second! - your chances of scoring the elusive platinum medal are pretty much nil. You want to use stealth? Stealth is for pansies, apparently. There is a plot here, more or less, but you’ll hardly notice the plot as you take the shape of one of a set group of Autobots or Decepticons and wreak about as much havoc on your enemies as you’ve ever seen any over-the-shoulder third-person-shooter wreak. What Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen actually is, is the ultimate Michael Bay game. Of course, what you get is something in the middle. On the one hand, you could hope for the game to ignore the plot of the movie and completely surpass it in terms of quality on the other hand, you could hope for an experience that’s just as hilariously bad as the movie, something so awful that you’ll be talking about it for days. Given the reputation of the movie then, expectations and hopes for the video game could go in one or two directions. Even those who purport to appreciate the popcorn quality of the movie, what with its whizbang effects and its so-dumb-it’s-inconsequential plot, acknowledge that part of its appeal actually lies in how unabashedly lousy it is. First, we should get this out of the way: The movie version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is bad.
