Best thing to happen in Transformers history.

This is a game for those that don't even know much about Transformers and would like to know why the animated series is better than the crap that Michael Bay attempts to present. The Transformers look awesome and haven't been that way for a long time. This is based off the original G1 series. With original voice actors and some new ones as well, this game sounds great with the sound of the weapons firing, the sound of a mace hitting a Autobot in the face, and the music are all phenomenal. The graphics are great, thanks to Epic Games' Unreal Engine v3, nothing is more satisfying than seeing robotic blood shed on your screen after you beat down your foe with a melee attack. Hasbro deemed this story to be actual history of the Transformers series.

Presentation: It's a Hasbro game and it's a Transformers game with Unreal Engine, you expect it to have a crappy presentation?

Graphics: The Unreal Engine was perfect for this game. It looks great and there's nothing more satisfying that getting oil on your screen.

Gameplay: The shooting mechanics work great and transforming at the touch of a button a nice touch.

Sound: The voice acting is great, and of course Peter Cullen reprises his role as Optimus. Metal clanking and shots firing, explosions... it's all great.

Lasting Appeal: The multiplayer is fun but the only good game modes are Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. There's enough perk and weapon choices to keep you going. It'd be better if you picked more than a chassis and two colors for your multiplayer character.

    This is another title where we the buyers need to take the reviewers opinions as exactly that, opinion. Personally I think this is a great game for both the single player campaign that you can play co-op (yea!) and the o... Read Full Review
