A PS3 exclusive will be Sixaxis controls for the airborne baddies, but in general the controller face buttons serve as the 'bots melee attack, jump command, item grab and transformation. Most of the Autobots are of the wheeled variety while the Decepticons are more prone to go to the air. Each robot's design is straight from the model used by Industrial Light and Magic in the feature film, so they look spot on and stick to their transforming capabilities. Control-wise, there isn't a difference as to which side you chose when boxing as the robots from another planet - except when the 'bots are in their vehicle form. Sure, if you want to you can go to the yellow rings around the map for missions, but why not run around and knock down buildings for a half an hour while partaking in the occasional mini-game? The world's your oyster. Rather than have a sprawling metropolis to explore like in Grand Theft Auto, Transformer fans will get smaller plots of neighborhood and city to explore. No matter which side you choose, gameplay will take place in free-roaming hubs.
