Are you the kind of person who wears a Optimus Prime trucker hat and a full Transformers-themed wardrobe to accompany your various Transformers tattoos? Well, I’ve got some good news for you. To accompany the release of the movie this week, EA is launching the cleverly titled iOS game Transformers 3 [$4.99 / HD]. We got a quick look at it at E3, and it seems like EA has invented some kind of new compression algorithm to pack never-before-seen levels of fan service into the game. You can play as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and the game cleverly switches between a dual stick shooter and a driving game as you transform between forms. There’s all kinds of weaponry to be unlocked and upgraded too.
Check out the trailer:
The way EA releases games is a little strange, so if you want to get this the second the game is available in your market, here’s what you’re going to have to do– If you’re in New Zealand and Australia, the game will already be available through the links below. Otherwise, similar to how games are released on Wednesday nights, it should be available in your region as soon as it’s the 28th in your corner of the world.
For Americans, Transformers 3 should be released at 11:00 PM Eastern, but will be available through a different iTunes link. We’ll find that link and get this post updated as close to its US release as we can. Also, needless to say, a review is on the way.
While we’re discussing the Transformers movies, how do you guys think it will stack up against Harry Potter this summer? A friend of mine who closely tracks these kind of things is sure Transformers 3 will beat out the final Potter movie. I’m no expert, but I just don’t know how Transformers could ever rack up more cash compared the last installment to the worldwide Harry Potter phenomenon!
