Everyone is anticipating the film debut of Transformers : The Movie in July, but now you cna get a taste of the movie via your DS. Expect to see this out at leasst a few weeks before the movie so DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures an milk the hype of the film. One intereting feature that has come out about the game is that it will be sold in two versions, where you can save the Earth or destroy it, as either a Decepticon or an Autobot… which will you choose? (I suspect to see a lot of Autobot versions on the shelf, who can resist being Megatron?)

KEY FEATURES (from the press release):
• Protect Or Destroy The Earth with Nintendo’s Wi-Fi – Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection enables players to engage in the “AllSpark Wars” where they must help their side win the global conflict between AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS via daily challenge missions and global player stats comparisons.

• Battle Again and Again Alone or With Friends – Each Nintendo DS game features 20 unique story missions plus more than 20 challenge missions as well as local wireless multiplayer modes (up to four players) such as Team Death Match and AllSpark Sports.

Gamers can instantly morph from a larger-than-life robot to a high-powered vehicle, such as a sports car, fighter jet or helicopter, as quick conversions leave enemies in the dust and enhance player’s combat strategy.

• The World Is Your Playground – Players take on enemy AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS to build up their custom TRANSFORMERS stats and abilities. Both games feature huge open environment city levels which include Casino Town and Hoover Dam while Antarctic levels are exclusive to the TRANSFORMERS: AUTOBOTS game and desert levels are featured in the TRANSFORMERS: DECEPTICONS game.
