    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.

    Transformers: War for Cybertron is not only the best Transformers game next-gen gamers can play, it is also one of the most fulfilling and challenging action-shooters I've played in years and a definite purchase, especially if you have any love of the Transformers franchise.

    As for what was actually made, Transformers: War for Cybertron is a solid but unremarkable effort that occasionally shows glimpses of its true potential. It provides a complete, if a little too short, package of modes and features in a genuinely interesting setting. It just needed a little more spark.

    It is amazing not as much as Transformers Armada with he sand box exploring byt as similar controls and game play style. The multilayer is addictive but sadly ended when the big shot games came out right after it like black ops and halo reach. If it wasn't for those games the multilayer would be full right now but overall the game is amazing and the plot is excellent… Expand

    Simply one of the best online multiplayer gaming experiences you can have. Playing it reminds me of the awe I experienced when playing halo or gears of war for the first time. The 4 different robot classes with a variety of abilities that increase with experince only serve to add to the fun as, essentially, WRC is probably the best pick up and play mulitplayer game on the xbox360 right now. I must say that the buzz of transformation from robot to vehicle and back never gets boring and the skill of timing this in the game is an essential weapon. Special mention also need to go to Hign Noon Studio's sound FX team who, when coming up with the Scientist's Shockwave sound bite they have engineered the greatest in gaming history too...it simply is that impressive, especially in Dolby DTS 2. I accept that the campaign mode is indeed limited but that's missing the point, because it's a multiplayer masterpiece.… Expand

    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!… Expand
