The battle for earth rages on as Activision Publishing, Inc. has announced today that the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Character and Map Pack Plus is available now for download on Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 throughout Europe. The massive Downloadable Content (DLC) pack will include eleven playable characters, three all-new maps for online multi-player game modes, and a brand new "Expert" difficulty setting for the single-player campaigns.
This mid-year update allows Plastic Wax to reveal 2009 collaborations that had been kept under wraps for months: the opening cinematic and unlockable cinematic for Activision's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game, two different thirty-second television spots that mix live action and CG (which involved animating the classic Slimer character) for Atari's Ghostbusters, and the E3 2009 CG trailer to launch the new Relic/THQ title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Plastic Wax also has a number of unannounced videogame projects in the works, as well as a feature length film.
The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game is now available, in time for tomorrow's movie release. There are plenty of different versions of the game available, created by 5 different game developers. The Nintendo DS also features 2 different versions: Autobots and Decepticons. With all the variety, you can expect different gameplay. So here's a breakdown of what you'll find in each one, with features noted by Activision.
