Notably, the PSP version of the game is the only iteration to make Bonecrusher or any of the drones playable characters.Īs the Autobots speed away from Hoover Dam with the All Spark in their hands, they are attacked by Decepticon drones. This expanded multiplayer roster offers players the choice of the entire movie cast (sans Scorponok and Frenzy), all the drones from the PSP game, and the new characters listed above. As the game progresses, all the other characters are unlocked for use in the online multiplayer mode. In the course of the single-player game, players will get to control Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Blackout, Shockwave, Ironhide, Hound, Starscream and Barricade, some more than once.
Outside of its expanded story, the major distinguishing feature of the PSP game is its large roster of characters, including the entire movie cast, all the drones (save Scrapper) from the console version of the game, and several unique characters. Jab yourself in the eye with a rusty fork to complete the journey. Imagine walking through molasses while trying to shoot with a target lock-on which refuses to live up to its name and is attached to the most painfully unhelpful button in relation to the position of the analog stick, and you're halfway there. It is absolutely abominable in just about every imaginable way. As the game proceeds, the player unlocks several bonus "rewards", including music tracks and image galleries (including concept art and a lot of Dreamwave images), and several additional characters for use in the game's online multiplayer mode. Players bust, stomp, blast, smash, drive and fly through twenty levels, telling a much-expanded version of the movie's story with an increased cast. In contrast to the console version of the game, which features two separate sets of missions for the Autobots and the Decepticons, or the Nintendo DS version, which is split across two games for the factions, the PSP version is one continuous adventure, placing control of both the Autobots and the Decepticons in the player's hands at different stages of the story.
