Transformers: War For Cybertron

I am a transformers fan, I love the G1 series, the rest of the cartoons I never watched because they were not true transformers.

I liked both the movies, they were not bad, but not great either.

This game is great if you are a transformers g1 fan, but dont mind a little few twists in the characters, and also if you are a game fan, as it is fun, and easy to pick up, get the hang of and play.

I will start with what is missing, which isnt much.

It could do with a longer single player campaign, but compared with most games now the campaign is a good length.

Lol I would have liked the 90's movie sound track added and the 90's character voices added, optimus is on the money but the rest come from the movies, or sound like they do, but its not a big thing, just a fan thing. Would have been awesome.

I would have liked more playable characters or more in the game, single player that is.

Positives.

Well everything.

Gameplay is fantastic, gfx awesome, voice acting great, tight story, fantastic multiplayer, authentic transformers action that feels true to the original g1 story, which is the big plus, it takes you too that world again.

It took me a while to purchase this as I didnt want to be let down by it, and I have to say as a transformers fan I have not been in anyway, I wish the movies were done like this.

Escalation mode is a blast, multiplayer is addictive and the lvl up system keeps you going back.

This is the best game, best anything form of media produced for g1 transformers since the g1 series ended.

Trust, buy it

Well, i had doubts about this game thanks to the two other terrible games that i bought and put down after a couple of hours, but this game reminded me of when i was young and used to watch the original G1 series, the characters and graphics are amazing and it so so fun to transform, even after the hundreth time! Both campaigns are great fun but i have to say a bit short of what i expected, it took me around 7 hours on hard, which for once on a game is actually pretty difficult!

The multiplayer in this game just blew me away, as the classes are just perfectly balanced and take some practice and skill to use. It is sometimes challenging to play against a group of high levels but it feels so good to shoot a fusion cannon shot at a flying scientist and seeing them explode. The graphics on this game are amazing and it blew me away with the colour and the explosions.

To be honest, anybody who wants to have fun and experience what a good transformers game should be like, perhaps after playing the first two, should really get this game!

definatelly the best transformers ever out,the buttons are very easy to adapt to and forming and un forming from car to truck to plane all by the touch of L3 pressed in and pressed out to form bk,online co op campaign or single campaign,there are huge huge levels take alot chapters to get ur trophys,mulitplayer also a bonus online with team deathmatches better than i expected loads are on daily,game is guna keep me hooked for long time,probs best money i have spent in a while.i recommened it for sure,all ages am 20 and alot lads on last night in 30s very competitive gaming!!!!

well then iknow how people feel when looking to buy a game they look at reviews endlessly to reassure them that they aren not wasting theirm money.

I did the same thing with the previous 2 transformers games (based on the movies) and at first the reviews were good, however I was foolish and bought both games. I thought there second attempt would be better and they would have learnt from their mistakes. THEY FAILED EPICALLY!

so when buying this game i was reluctant at first but the fancy graphics lured me (mostly just the original voice of optimus). i thinki was lucky this time the game exceeded all my expectations, the campain was excellent why cant more games be like this.

I cannot comment on the online play as I keep replaying campain (I just cant get enough) plus I want to get the trophies.

but all in all this game is awsome especially if your like me and have been praying for a good transformers game.......my prays were answered!

I tried not to go into this game with a bias as I am a massive Transformers fan, but I was very releived when i did start playing. The gameplay is excellent, much better than the movie line games that were made. The online multiplayer is excellent, very fun and the class system is a nice touch. Also I was very impressed with the Campaign mode's story, very rich and wlel thought out and stays true to the Origninal Transformers from the 80's.

Ok so there a re a few niggling issues In my opinion. Firstly although you can play campiagn mode co-op with up to 2 firends it must be done online there is no function to vene have one of your firends sat playing it at the same console with you. Secondly I have had a couple of random game crashes that I have never experianced on PS3 before, although I have been playing a lot so the PS3 might just have needed a break.

So despite the "issues" I would still recommend this to anyone that was interested in shooters, transformers or is just looking for a new game to play.
