    The bottom line is that any action gamer looking for awesome multiplayer combat with classes, skills, and upgrades, or any Transformer fan looking for a cool prequel story to the upcoming movie will love Dark of the Moon. I know I did.

    Transformers: War for Cybertron was one of the best Transformers games and after playing this, that game is still the best. It doesn't mean this game sucks, but it can be repetitive, the graphics and audio aren't that great and the game is a bit short. There is a multiplayer, but that isn't really interesting.

    I would recommend the title for fans of the movies and old school fans also. Hardcore gamers might not get enough out of the title to make it worth the purchase, but I would still heartily recommend renting it to those people.

    Uninspiring, repetitive and dull. [Sept 2011, p.104]

    Clearly, you need to be a major Trans Fan who loves all forms of TF media (Loved the classic cartoon, animes, comics, and even the movies) to appreciate this. And as one of 'em, I truly enjoyed the game as much as War for Cybertron even as the latter is the best of 'em. Expand
  2. Im currently in the process of playing this game, im on chapter 5. I am impressed, this game is alot of fun, especially for a big transformers fan like myself, im lovin the graphics and the great storyline, along with the details of each transformer. One thing i was upset about the movie is they didnt use mirage and wheeljacks real names but they did in the game, i think mirages was dino and wheeljacks was cube or something like that, but anyways, a few complaints though, their are a few glitches here and there and the other thing is, ive got like an hour playing time into this game and im already on chapter 5! Theirs only 7 chapters, the campaign is wayyyyyyy too short, but havent tried multiplayer yet, i sure will once the campaign is complete, but anyways,so far the game is alot of fun, if you are a die hard transformers fan like me and you enjoyed the movies, then you will enjoy this game, despite its very short length, not as good or long as war for cybertron but still a good transformers game 8/10 Expand
  3. First things first don't but this game. I rented it today and I beat it today. Its very short and unless you're a mega Transformers fan I'd say rent this game. The game play is a bit sluggish and the graphics are bland at best. Some of the character models look pretty good and it's always fun to see them go from robot to vehicle. The environments look pretty bad with the scale of buildings and vehicles feeling way of. The game really is just for those that didn't get enough of War For Cybertron, which is an amazing game. This game had huge potential it had some great game play and a great variety, but the character movements felt too sluggish most of the time and some of the boss fights became overlong and tedious. It was still great to see characters you love and a story that fits well into the movie. Bottom line if you like Transformers you'll like this game, just expect some minor frustrations from slow characters and poor graphics. Expand
