Beast Wars - Transformers [U] ISO
Description :
Battle with Heroic Maximals or the Evil Predacons for Control of the
Universe. Navigate through Rugged 3D Terrain, Battling Natural Hazards
and Enemy Armies in one of the MOst Intense Battle Games Ever!
This game is a decent shooter/adventure for the average person, but if you
are an actual fan of the tv show (like me) then you'll be a bit disappointed.
Yes they do transform, and yes they do have the same weapons as in the show...
the physical element is all there. But if you know or care anything about the
show then you'll find this is something you'll pass on unless you're
inflicted with the "gotta have 'em all" mentality... or are just plain curious.
And you will no longer be curious after reading this review.
Some complaints: The voices are NOT the ones from the show. While most are decent-ok impressions, some are laughable and horrid (Megatron, Terrorsaur, and a few others).
Some jumps are hard for certain charecters. Cheetor, for example, has a habit of sailing like a madman over a ledge, leaving him to plunge his helpless furry body down into the energon pits below- and to death. Others, like Megatron, have weak jumps and are pretty must charectors that would be chosen as a last resort.
The lack of chekpoints in the levels are frusterating. If you die during a level, no matter how close you are to completing it, you start from scratch. I thought we'd gotten past this back in the Genny and SNES days!
The endings are pretty cheesy. The Maximal end is... well I would say I don't want to spoil it but there is nothing TO spoil. Goodness has prevailed and we'll now continue our mission... sort of thing. The Predacon ending I have a problem with, since that is my favorite faction... it paints my favorite charecter, Megatron (who is the 'bad guy' leader) as a bit of a buffon... but that is a WHOLE 'nuther review!
The good points: As you progress thoughout the game, you'll be able to aquire more playable charectors. This is good. This is very good. Especially since these charectors are very capable and cool to play.
If you lose a charector, you can get them back through a 'rescue mission'. you need to collect an icon for this and then you will be able to choose a 'flyer' to go and get back your lost buddy.
Some of the voices are pretty good. Blackarachnia is. Inferno is. Rattrap is. Dinobot and Cheetor both are.... ect.
The game isn't too hard and it isn't too easy either. It's enough of a challenge that you won't get through it in one sitting, but it's easy enough that you won't run around for hours and hours trying to figure out what to do and where to go (as in Tomb Raider 3... :P)
The plotline progresses pretty well, and the levels are believable if you've seen the cartoon. The final battle for the Maximal team takes place at the Predacon ship (known as the Darkside to fans); and the final Predacon battle takes place at the Axalon (the Maximal ship). The Stryxx aliens are made up especially for the game, and were never in the cartoon, however.
The music isn't anything special, but it's not irritating either... in fact, i can't even really remember the music after I'm done playing. (Is that good or bad...?)
The graphics are suitable, and decent (useless factoid: the Beast Wars cartoon won an Emmy for outstanding animation).
The closing credits are my favorite part- a literal goldmine of clips from the show (seasons 1 and 2).
Overall; as a game this is ok. A bit above average; where 'average' is Herc's Adventures and 'outstanding' is Azure Dreams (and 'lame' is definitly Forsaken!!).
