 War for Cybertron June 22, 2010

I had mixed feelings about this game before its release, but after doing some research I realised that this game is different from the previous Transformers games based on the movie...which is a good thing. Fans of Gears of War will really love this game. For hardcore shooter fans, some things may or may not disappoint you. Fans of the animated series will fall in love! It plays out a lot like a CG cartoon...sound quality is very good with the voiceovers being very good drawing you in even more. The graphics look like someone took Gears of War and replaced the COG and the Horde with the Autobots and Decepticons. I know, I know, the Unreal Engine has been done a million times, it does WFC a lot of good though. Although I mentioned Gears of War, keep in mind that there is no duck and cover system. At first, this sort of disappointed me in a way, but after playing it, I realized.....robots don't need cover!!! The game controls like a charm, but takes some getting used to as well. Another thing is, unfortunately sometimes (depending on how you have your controller layout) you will accidently transform when you didn't intend to do so. This can be a problem...especially when trying to navigate platforming sections. Transforming in mid-air not only looks cool, but it also can be used for strategy purposes as well. It is highly recommended that you play the Decepticons campaign first. You can however choose to play the Autobots campaign first if you like. I have not played the multiplayer yet nor have I tried the 3 player co-op so I will not comment on the MP aspect of the game in this review. This game is very fast paced with a ton of action in it so far. Again, if you are a fan of Transformers, this is the game to have..I am not sure how long the single player campaign is, but it seems to be pretty long. Most may want to wait till the price drops, but if you are really thinking of getting the game, do yourself a favor and pick it up. This review is based on the PS3 version of the game. I hope this was helpful to you.
ROBOTIC WARFARE... AWESOME !!!! June 22, 2010

War For Cybertron. Well what can I say about this except, this game totally blew me away. I'm going to start with the Campaign Mode this offers two unique stories and levels. I like Decepticon side because, I like being the bad guy trying to takeover, or you can be the usual good guy (Autobots) trying to save everything. But you don't have to be good or bad on your own, you can team up with 2 friends online and be good or bad together and destroy some really cool bosses. It takes place on their home planet Cybertron (a stunning mechanical-futuristic place) of course and the best part about it you're no longer big bulky semi-trucks, camaros and normal earth vehicles Autos and Decepts are Cybertronian vehicles which are the same as earth's except they look way better, cooler, meaner and tougher. Now for the best part of the game Multi-Player, this offers a variety of modes Escalation- constant groups of robots attack until the players are defeated, Free-for-All- is every man for himself, and my favorite Deathmatch-is just like with other shooters two teams go head-to-head to get the most kills. The others are Power Struggle, Code of Power, Countdown to Extinction and Conquest, I won't spoil these for you but I think you'll enjoy them. The character customizing is absolutely awesome, players must make their own Transformer based on the 4 classes, which determines their vehicle form Scout (car), Scientist (jet), Leader (truck), and Soldier (tank) each vehicle functions the same except Scientists can fly. Each allows you two weapons, two abilities, and three upgrades each class has their own set of kill streak rewards, available weapons, and abilities and last but not least you choose the color scheme of your robot. Now for my review GAMEPLAY 5stars controls are great, very engaging and fast paced not for casual gamers, STORYLINE 5stars finally we get the Autos and Decepts history, GRAPHICS 5stars it sounds and looks great, MULTIPLAYER 5stars. Transformers: War for Cybertron 5stars it's absolute genius.
Finally a Good Transformers Video Game June 24, 2010

For the first time ever there is a decent transformers game. This game not only is incredibly fun to play but it is consistent with G1 canon, which is a must for old G1 fans out there like me. The levels have a significant amount of replayability and the story keeps you going through the levels. One of the added bonuses is the banter between characters that are doing the missions with you.
If there were any flaws that I could see in this game, is that you cannot co-op on the same screen. However, if you look at how much time you are going to be spending playing the game on your own, this doesn't measure up much. I am a big fan of the campaign missions.
The multiplayer is great. It has just enough extra added due to being able to transform and select your game type that it makes it stand above similar third person shooters multiplayer. All in all I give it a 4.5 which rounds up to 5 stars. Good Job guys!
G1 Fans UNITE, this is now Official Hasbro TF Lore! July 1, 2010
Stone Gaijin (Minneapolis, MN USA)
This game is a well-deserved DREAM for TF fans that have been shafted by Michael Bay's "vision" of a TF Universe. Storyline is perfect for all G1 fans of the original series, and Hasbro has made it official TF History.
The Online modes are superb, and insure the continued life of tis game. After the storyline is over, you can forever live in the online world of Unreal Tournament type death matches, and "Nazi Zombie (COD) type" missions.
Overall this game is a must for G1 fans.
