Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Wii/PS2)
 |
| |||||||||||||||
The Revenge of the Fallen Wii and PS2 games are considerably different than the X-Box 360 and PS3 versions, even using different gameplay. It was developed by Krome Studios, and shares a few developers with the earlier Armada-based game, Krome having acquired Melbourne House, the company that developed the Armada game, in 2006. [1]
Story
With Megatron destroyed, Optimus Prime and the Autobots have begun fighting off the remaining Decepticons. However, Starscream and his master are not going down without a fight...
In space, an innocent satellite is just floating around, but an mysterious, alien satellite docks with it. Quickly, Soundwave locates a NEST convoy, and orders Sideways and Demolishor to intercept. Sideways steals the convoy's cargo, while Demolishor causes destruction.
Chapter 1: Optimus invades
Meanwhile, the Decepticons have taken control of a NEST gun and are firing at planes. Two Autobot fighter jets go down, but before the large transport plane explodes, Optimus Prime leaps out. As he falls toward Shanghai, Decepticon Long-range warriors intercept. While Optimus is firing at them with his light weapons, the NEST gun continues firing at him. And on top of all that, ground based Decepticons are firing huge missiles. When Prime defeats the warriors, a Long-range lieutenant takes him on. When he defeats the lieutenant, three more warriors come at him. He cuts one in half, and quickly dispatches of the other two. He then lands and orders the Autobots to report. Bumblebee is chasing Sideways, and Ironhide is on Demolishor's tail.

- The ranged Warriors look a lot like Breakaway, but they are blue.
Notes
- You are unable to transform in robot missions, but able to transform in driving missions, and can jump from wall to wall. Sounds kind of familiar.
- While on the first game, cars (and humans) seemed nearly invincible until you shot them, in this game, if you so much as step on a car, it explodes.
Differences with the Movie
Krome was clearly writing the game on a different planet than the Movie's script.
- Devastator is killed near the beginning, in Shanghai, and by Optimus.
- Sideways doesn't die in Shanghai.
- Ironhide, rather than Optimus, kills Demolishor.
- Instead of the forest, Megatron wounds Optimus in the Decepticon base.
- The Fallen appears to be in total command of the Decepticons even before Megatron revives, as he is the one calling the shots.
- Sam and Mikaela aren't in the game, except for a brief phone conversation with Optimus, and even then, it is only their voices.
- Optimus kills The Fallen by putting him in front of the Star Harvester's beam.
- The battle with Devastator happens in the first battle. While Optimus, Ironhide, and Bumblebee are cleaning up in Shanghai, Devastator appears out of nowhere and attacks.
- Also, Optimus Prime, rather than a railgun, kills Devastator.
- Instead of looking for the Matrix, The Fallen looks for pieces of the Harvester, saying he already has the Matrix. We...probably don't want to know what that means.
