The Xbox 360 screenshot above is the first picture from Travellers’ Tales game based on the upcoming Transformers movie. Bumblebee sure looks… different. The Transformers series has had a particularly negative translation to the gaming world. The NES game was an atrocity that had Ultra Magnus shoot a bunch of flying Decepticons. Transformers Tatakai for the PS2 wasn’t much better. On the plus side it had the old school Transformers in 3D, on the negative side was the gameplay where you run from one invisible wall to the next punching the same Decepticons. Atari’s Transformers game was one of the better games to use the license, but it was far from original. Can Travellers’ Tales turn around the Transformers franchise? Or are we going to see another game like Lego: Star Wars?
