Fall of Cybertron is an impressive shooter in its own right and maybe the best licensed game ever made. The voice cast, music, set pieces, and game play elements are some of the best AAA games had to offer at the time. Unfortunately for today, the game is short and the multiplayer servers have been shut down. Full disclosure: my son bought this game for $10 using my account. He was not old enough to buy his own games and loved Transformers. The game was technically not free for me, because I pay my son his allowance. Also, I played this on PS5 and enjoyed the PS5's super fast load times. As shooter, this game is good, like Halo good. The bots transform into vehicle mode and drive about as good as any vehicle in a shooter. Several areas have long stretches for driving/flying, and because vehicles have weapons, you could drive/fly through most of the game if you wanted. Each bot gets their own unique ability and their own starter weapons. Abilities are fixed. Weapons can be upgraded throughout the game. Oddly, the laser guns from the TV show are saved for new game+. Instead you have some of the standard submachine gun, shotgun, assault rifle, sniper weapons mixed in with more unique weapons like an electric gun and a slime launcher. Smacking enemies is also an options. The game provides ample cover, a dodge ability, and recharging shields to round of the experience. The sights and sounds are fantastic, though I may be biased as on old school Transformers fan with a Transformers obsessed son. The soundtrack is simply amazing. So much effort into a game about toys. The transforming sounds and gun sounds are also top quality. The world is the shiny metal Cybertron of your dreams. This would be a great game to remaster with ray tracing. Character models are so good that Hasbro released them in toy form. (Or maybe its the other way around.) The world is alive with giant walking robots, transforming environments, and destructible elements. This is what games should be. Alas, it was not to last. Some time ago, the servers were shut down. If you are even able to buy this game, the product will be significantly hobbled. You will never fight through the horde mode with your friends. You will never fight against other players in multi-player matches. And the campaign is an all too brief 5 hours. In today's world, this is AA title. I have no issues with short games. Some of my favorite games ever are short games. Just don't expect to fill an entire weekend with Fall of Cybertron. 'Til all are one!

Personally, I disliked this games campaign. Instead of going for a more open ended level design, they have many corridors and tight spaces and the game suffers because of it. Also, they for some reason removed being able to choose your character in levels. Instead they focused on using one character per level, which removes a lot of replayability. Also, the campaign is wildly short and there really is no incentive to replay levels. The first game was better.

This game could be great if it wasnt for the unlimited respawning enemies, unfortunately they use that instead of intelligent ai. Which in my opinion makes this game a unplayable piece of garbage.
