"The best Transformers game ever made, Devastation is a fast paced hack 'n' slash experience that will be the joy of the nostalgic with its eighties look and VHS aesthetics, but will also conquer the hardcore gamer with a relentless challenge, tons of collectibles and replayability. Pure Platinum goodness." ... Read full review

A beautiful swan song to the Transformers of yesteryear that I and many others grew up with. Not a voice is out of place as many of the oldA beautiful swan song to the Transformers of yesteryear that I and many others grew up with. Not a voice is out of place as many of the old voice actors are back to reprise their roles, then on top of that they brought back Vince DiCola, the man responsible for the music of the 1986 movie, to handle the combat tunes.

The story is as cheesy as a classic episode, as Megatron plans to terraform the world to make it look a bit more like home while all humanity has to suffer for it. Optimus and the gang roll in to kick some metal butt and save the day like they always do.

The gameplay is absurdly over the top, melee is at the forefront here and what a joy it is with tons of weapons and countless combos to juggle, smash and pulverize the Decepticons with. It's also handy in reminding you that all the most iconic battles in the classic Transformers show were fist fights.

Highly recommended.… Expand

This game has anime-style graphics. good things that the mechanics of gameplay are wonderful. The levels aren't either too easy or too hard at all. The story itself was plausible in the sense. There aren't too many levels to roam around. Then the weapon selection can be described as good. The Japanese developer is too powerful to develop this game carefully. The pacing of this game was magnificent as seen in cartoons and comics. There is a little flaw at all because there are some leftovers that developers forgot.… Expand

You'll play as one of the g1 Autobot that looks identical to 80's cartoon. Activision did a splendid job with skins, animation, pose and voiceYou'll play as one of the g1 Autobot that looks identical to 80's cartoon. Activision did a splendid job with skins, animation, pose and voice to take you back 30 years...and combined It with a solid gameplay.
Levels are short "quest" inside a big city-like map (map scenery is a little uninspired) where you'll fight groups of enemy and giant bosses. There are little puzzle element, platform events and driving sequence.
Transformation is well integrated into the combat system (combat system that is fast and furious) and actually fun and useful to use.
Lots of weapons that feels and plays differently (4 example: swords, blasters, twin swords, rocket launcher, flamers, grenade launcher, hammers ...that looks like the one from old toys and cartoons..) that you can collect (like Diablo game from Blizzard 4 example) and upgrade.
Character have a lots of statistic to improve (grd like).
Levels are short and mimic in some way a series of episode from the cartoon (but with an original story). The whole game is short but there is a good re-playability to try a level using a different class of character or farming 4 experience and money or try the challenge (a lot of them like 40)
It really did take me back to childhood when me and my friends went out to play with robots toys that change into things!
Cons: Short, simple plot, a little repetitive..and obviously for old Transformers fans only.
Nowadays you'll find it for around half of it's release date pricing. PlatinumGames and Activision please make a sequel (hopefully a little more deep) or another game of a different 80's franchis… Expand

Radical! Take a trip back to the 80s with the most authentic version of the Transformers since the animated series. We've got all the originalRadical! Take a trip back to the 80s with the most authentic version of the Transformers since the animated series. We've got all the original voice over actors reprising their original roles and some truly old school story telling! It was like I was watching a never before released season of the show before the movie came out. Visually it is IDENTICAL to the animated series' designs. Just beautiful. Aside from the original story we've got some totally gnarly gameplay. BASH EM UP! It's button-mashing fun with some killer moves in vehicle and robot modes! This game is truly one of THE most fun games I've ever played. It's super exciting and just plain nuts. Don't expect some crazy combos though as some of the actions are repetitive. The weapon upgrading is cool but isn't explained completely so I wasn't sure what I was doing synthesizing weapons together. The TECH upgrades are nifty as well as crafting new ones. Really big arsenal - all types of weapons. It's strange that they got Hasbro's permission to use all the characters from the show but DIDN'T get permission to use the original music. No theme. Bummer. The crazy hard rock / metal music was very cool during gameplay. I would've REALLY liked to play these characters in a coop mode online. I normally wouldn't be bothered without but it would work really well here. I truly enjoyed every minute of this game and I hope there's a next installment. Highly recommended… Expand
