Transformers: Yes I'm an addict

I could tell you how utterly amazing the Transformers game is.  The interesting thing about that is if you're a Transformers fan, you'll at least try it knowing that.  If you're not a Transformers fan, my opinion will suddenly become null and void to you because I am a Transformers fan.  

Over the years Transformers have released some terrible, terrible games.  From the Japanese release only NES game starring Ultra Magnus (or whatever his name is Japan) to the horrible Transformers Armada, Hasbro really doesn't give a rats ass about their games.  Yes that was a coherent sentence, deal.  

I've heard Transformers get good reviews but a lot of them claim the game does nothing original which is absurd.  It may not be ground breaking and mind blowing like Portal or Batman Arkham Asylum, but the gameplay surely is original.

For instance you could say, well Gears of War lets you-nope.  Stop right there.  There are no cover mechanics in Transformers.  There are powers.  And you can transform into vehicles for faster travel and occasionally, to bomb or run robots over.  

Well what about Devil May Cry or God of War?  Nope.  You're way off.  Those are stylistic button mashers.  Tranformers involves guns and a bit of style, but is much more skill based.  And its much, much easier to die in Transformers.  

Seriously, folks, I thought I could come up with a few more cheesy comparisons but I can't.  Transformers takes the weapons you'd get in a first person shooter and then elaborates on them.  For instance with the grenade launcher you can launch your entire clip and then click the detonate button.  Each robot has its own abilities like flying, party buffs, healing, detecting invisible enemies, shielding the team, and the list goes on.  Point being, this game rocks and I need people to play it with me because I'm relatively certain that the co-op is in the area of amazing.
