So is the PS2 Armada game any good?

Grimlock_13 · 01-09-2007, 12:26 PM

If this needs to go into a different forum, please excuse my ignorance, I just figgured it would get more responces here.

Anyway, after years of saying "I have NES, SNES, N64 and I suck at all of them, why would I need a new game system?!" I cracked yesterday and bought a PS2. I saw the Armada game in the bargain bin and was tempted to buy it but I wanted to get some feedback first. Pluses? Minuses? Is it worth $20?

Thanks in advance.

Try to find it for less than 20... you should be able to get it at a GameStop for $10. As for the game itself, it's not that bad. The controls are kind of a pain, and it is a surprisingly difficult game, but it's kinda fun to be able to transform and drive around slamming into Decepticlones.

It's a pretty decent game, yeah. Best TF game ever made.

First off, congrats on getting a PS2. It's a fun system and there are quite a few neat games on it.

Secondly, YES. The Armada game is a whole lot of fun. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, the shoot-'em-up aspect can get hard - as it should. Also, the visuals are fantastic.

It's a really, really fun game.

PS: Let me know if you really get into the game, because I have the complete guide to the game and would be happy to get rid of it for supercheapo.

Pros

Excellent graphics
Strong responsive game play - Closest comparison is XBox's Halo
Challenging enemies
Realistic environments
Environments don't have any invisible walls
Cut scene and gameplay graphics are very close to identical

Cons

Some parts can be frustrating
Some of the boss Decepticons can be cheap if you're not careful
Unicron isn't as challenging as the other Decepticons are

But overall this is a STRONG game. Definitely the best TF game out there. Which I guess doesn't say muc since there aren't that many to begin with

My local SEARS had it(and still has a bunch of them) brand new for $9.99. At that price I couldn't refuse. I bought one.

I LOVE this game

Nuff said

I can't even count the numerus times I've replayed it.

And a tip, when you've completed the game a couple of times try using the "every minicon" "unlimited powerlink" and "unlimited stealth" cheats and check out the decepticlones close up, they're realy well detailed and the AI is quite impressive (if you teas them that is

)

I actually got an extra copy for Christmas that I need to return to Sears... But yeah, it's a great game if you're a Transformers fan. As a video game, it's pretty good but the sheer numbers of enemies in some areas is insane and the difficulty can get downright sadistic. But it's a fun game for a fan, when you get to the Tidal Wave boss battle, you'll know it's a good game.

The game has some of the best graphics for the PS2 and it is hard as shit on the normal game difficulty. It is a blast to play though. You won't find a better TF game out there. I just hope the games for the upcoming movie are friggin' sweet.

A sweet TF game is something I have craved almost as much as the new movie.

Sweet, thanks for all the input guys! I'll have to make a special trip to Sears to see if they have it for that cheap 'round these parts.
