    Transformers Prime does a decent job in terms of gameplay, but it's way too short and simple.

    Transformers Prime on the Wii is still a good game and I do recommend giving it a shot, but if you already have the 3DS version, you're pretty much getting the same game again.

    Overall, Transformers Prime is decent game for a system in its twilight years. My two biggest gripes for this title are the lack of graphical fidelity, which could not be helped, and not allowing the player to use a classic controller. A multiplayer mode is also available, but it just feels like a tacked-on bonus for two players. However, if you can look past those things, Transformers Prime offers a solid gameplay experience. Nintendo Wii owners can finally have a decent game worthy of the Transformers name.

    Although there are flaws in the games design, for dedicated Transformers: Prime followers there is some fun to be had here. At the end of the day, for young fans of the Transformers Prime series this game is a fairly good choice; however, for older fans a weekend rental will probably suffice.

    As a whole, Transformers Prime: The Game is a decent, if imperfect licensed title that will not long last in the collective memory of Wii owners, but it still deserves some honorable mention for actually being fun, a word that could not be properly applied to any of its Transformer forebears on Wii.

    It's a competent tie-in with plenty of goodies for fans of the series.

The gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but the story and characters are genuine and feel just like the show. Multiplayer is actually pretty fun. It would have been nice if the combat was a bit deeper, but all in all a great game.… Expand

    This game is alright its just not that good enough so this is an average action brawler transformer kind of game... the controls are decentThis game is alright its just not that good enough so this is an average action brawler transformer kind of game... the controls are decent but average gameplay and graphics for a wii 2012 release. If you are fans of this series you might enjoy this kind of game though its worth a rent but not a buy because there is no online just multiplayer mode you can do singleplayer but it will be the same thing over and over. This game was made for kids if you have a kid and they like playing the wii just rent it or buy it if they are fans of the series they will like this kind of game but will most likely get bored after they finish the game.… Expand
