Another day, another opportunity to score a hot 3D gaming title for a bargain.  This time around Glu Mobile's Transformers G1: Awakening can be had for 99 cents, or a full $6 off of the normal asking price.  Are you bad enough to defeat the Decepticons?

It's basically the same thing!

you can get video of it for .99

you can get video of it for .99

i hate glu. they always cut their game prices down to .99 after i pay full price for them. I want a refund

on the other hand, if a developer raises the price all of a sudden you feel like you got a great deal. It happened to me on an app and I'm so happy. Thats business.

What is does for me is make me hold off on any Glu game purchases, because I almost know they will be $0.99 soon.

So, can a man over the age of 5 enjoy this game?

Where did you find a 'man' that is 5 years old?

It's a turn-based strategy game. Most kids will find it boring. I'm 26 and while it is not the best game ever made, for $.99 it's easily one of the best games in the Catalog.

Thanks for the reply! (I see you didn't pick up on my subtle humor)

Sorry. I shouldn't post to PreCentral when I've had a bad day.

I almost bought this yesterday. Thank the gods I saved 6 bucks. My first paid app. Now if mancala would drop in price...

Mancala? Isn't that only 1.99?

Bought it! Pretty fun, so far doesn't really take much strategy.

It won't take much strategy for a while. The best strategy I've found for the more difficult levels later on is to take your autobot cars that have ranged attack and:
move to your max attack range of trypticon or megatron (whichever one is causing the headaches)
select another transformer
re-select your ranged autobot
transform into a car
undo the transform
notice that your attack button is not greyed out any more.
circumvent the rule of ranged attackers not moving and attacking in the same turn


Then again, the game and all its bonus levels won't last more than a night or two using this 'strategy', but at $0.99 you're not losing as much as I did at $6.99!

This game sucks. I paid the 7 bucks for it based on the positive ratings and comments...but wow. Compared the the first-person shooters and other games like avatar and the like...I want my 7 bucks back.

Snagged this up immediately after it went on sale last night.

TRANSFORMERS FTW!!!

picked it up, though who knows if i'll ever play it. i just keep getting all of these .99 deals thinking one day i may want to play them, or they can be used to keep my kids occupied.

lol, same here. I've purchased almost every 99 cent sale glu and gameloft game, but I almost never play them. I did play through Paratrooper, but re-playing for higher scores doesn't have much appeal to me (and the all-time high score board is already full of people so obsessed that they got the highest possible score on every level). Glyder 2 was fun for a bit, very nice flight control, but the point of the game eludes me.

The rest (wacky mini golf, super ko, real tennis, hero of sparta, and now transformers) I haven't played at all beyond a launch to see that they worked. I wish a decent racing game would go on sale, or maybe I'll have to break down and spend more than $0.99 on a game (never!).

I have a cross country flight on saturday though, I may get in some serious play time on those games.

I still play AirTraffic Lite more often than anything else; maybe one day NO2 will release the full version and get my money.

Keeps crashing on me. This is the first time an app has done this to me...=(

I've also had the app crash on me several times which I've rarely had occur with other 3D games.

is this game any good?

Keeps crashing as well :-(

Looks pretty cool for $.99, but definitely seems like people who are expecting it to be a FPS or RTS (and learn that it's a TBS game after they buy it) will be disappointed

great! I wasn't gonna shell out 7 bucks, but for 1 dollar, heck yeah. Happy Birthday to me! Thanks Glu

yea mancalla is only 1.99 but my budget is also that tight right now.

Wow, well good luck.

For the crashing issues:

You probably have a Sprint Pre. Restart your device, because you are out of memory.

For some reason, Transformers doesn't throw up a "Too Many Cards" error like most PDK apps. It just allows itself to crash.
