Transformers: War for Cybertron

It isn't deep. It won't set a new standard for action games. But I had a great time playing and I believe you will too. This is the first Transformers game I've been excited about, and having played it I can say that my excitement was validated.

High Moon Studios managed to create a living & breathing world – I know, kind of ironic for a game about robots, isn't it – that did justice to the source material.

Everything from the bickering banter between Starscream and Megatron, the cold calculated communiques from Soundwave, or the heavy-handed speeches from Optimus to rally his Autobots, it's all here. War for Cybertron is an entertaining game that's just as enjoyable as it is playable.

While its story sometimes lurches and lunges, and its gameplay mechanics can be quirky, Tranformers: War for Cybertron is, somewhat surprisingly, probably the best reboot of the classic cartoon.

While it may have the right atmosphere, the right approach to characterization and story presentation to attract anyone who is fond of the Transformers universe, it simply lacks any distinctive features that could potentially make it stand out and put it right up there with the industry's top shooters.

As it stands, it's a polished outing for a much-loved pile of robots, and though it costs twice as much as the second film on Blu-Ray, it's about seven times as enjoyable. The maths speaks for itself.

Fans of Transformers - real fans, the people with the cartoon series and die-cast toys - will probably get a huge kick out of the story behind Transformers. They might even get enough out of it to overlook the insipid level design, borrowed gameplay elements and sloppy AI.

Best transformers game ever ! I can play it again at anytime,but you have to play it to find out what im talking about so go play it and enjoy every second of it.

While this game has a decent amount of issues, it's one of the first genuinely good Transformers games ever developed, if not the first. Nice visuals, decent gameplay, good voice acting and an interesting story. If you love the Transformers license, or just enjoy a decent sci fi game, pick this game up. But if you are low on money or want something better than this, get Fall of Cybertron as it's a big improvement over this game.

Having played both High Moon titles Transformers titles WFC is the more compelling game to leave feedback on, hence I'll begin with the bot's and con's (see what I did there? Me neither). This game is the most authentic in terms of character, background story and feeling towards Transformers Generation 1, Cybertron genuinely feels alive and vibrant amid the midst of a brutal civil war. The voice acting and dialogue are remarkably good and the original Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) is on key, however Megatron and Breakdown exchanges coupled with Warpath digs at Ironhide were entertaining. However despite the huge fan service throughout WFC the gameplay is too repetitive to the extent where 80% of the Autobot and Decepticon campaigns are identical, from the cut and paste enemies to the recycled boss battles it smacks of laziness. The story mode is 5 to 6 hours long, personally I would of liked another hour or two with more characters and variety. The mutliplayer is actually pretty decent, yet compared deeper titles like Battlefield there isn't enough depth to replay for months on end. Overall a very enjoyable ride through Cybertron pre-Earth days and the old memory banks, it's a shame that High Moon have seemingly abandoned making a third potentially even better game.

I started playing this game positively, I'd heard it was like gears of war with robots. But, sadly, no. Before i'd played the campaign i'd previously played the multiplayer which I enjoyed. If I was rating the multiplayer i'd give it 7/10. But when I got round to playing the campaign at a friends house I was disapointed. The robots were the same colours as the extremely boring and bland setting. Not just the autobots but the decepticons aswell. The combat is just boring and the weapons are just unsatisfying. One reedeming quality was the vehicles that was pretty innovative. But overall its a terrible game and thats coming from a transformers fan!

LOL, these scores are too high. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS GARBAGE. you have been warned LOL... awww man, i gotta do 150 characters minimum? ok here it goes: Looks: terrible, way to b lazy craptivision Mechanics: not enough ammo, "powers" are lame, lackluster, all basically the same umm, what else. ok, basically u run from one cybertron themed room to another fighting generic robots. sub-par graphics, it really is all that is wrong with movie games. if u absolutely must play all transformers games then please just rent it so they dont get any money at l;east, but seriously, this is beyond a "skip", this deserves serious repercussions. seriously craptivision, how hard is it to just make a decent game?
