You move the mirrors to guide the laser from a red target to a green one What’s unfortunate is that you don’t have the freedom to just set up a new laser pathway: anytime you mess with the established path, you instantly fail. At a certain point, you just start relying entirely on special attacks to get the job done and avoid dying.Īnother knock against these levels are the “hacking” minigames, which involve lasers and mirrors. While you’re trying to break through one enemy’s constant blocking, two other robots start shooting you in the back.
What’s worse is that the enemies tend to gang up on you. Far too often enemies simply block your attacks, and since there is no lock-on button you will flail at empty air. As it stands, you will find yourself perpetually on the brink of death during almost every mission. Your health actually recovers by itself over time if you don’t take any damage, but there’s usually a constant barrage of enemy fire so recovery time is a precious commodity. In fact, it uses more Energon than it gives you health. Your only method of health recovery is the self-repair option which doesn’t repair much, and in turn drains Energon. While Energon might be plentiful, health is not. Luckily, killing other robots produces Energon cubes, and Energon canisters are scattered around each level. There’s a secondary projectile (charged with Z) that drains your Energon, but unleashes a powerful attack. Your robotic avatar can also shoot by aiming with the pointer and pressing B. The D-pad has special functions that all drain your Energon meter: temporary stat increase, super-attack, and self-repair.
If you press the C button while doing a motion, you can do more powerful attacks. Attacks are done (primarily) via horizontal or vertical movements of the Wii remote.
Aside from some interesting concepts and cool unlockables, Revenge of the Fallen disappoints too often to be worth your time.Īt its heart, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a beat‘em up: you take control of an Autobot or Decepticon (depending on the mission) and traverse a large, linear level while fighting other giant robots. This doesn’t mean the game is good, though. Turns out I had nothing to fear-the plot of the Wii game is only minimally tied to the film, and in general differs radically. I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on opening weekend and came away kind of disappointed, so I was actually terrified to re-live the movie through the tie-in video game.
