Transformers: War for Cybertron (Playstation 3)

I am big fan of the 80's Transformers cartoon show. When I saw clips of how the game looked I was really excited this would be the game to do justice to the transformers universe, I was wrong the about that. The best thing about this game are the graphics 9 out of 10. The control is okay but could be improved 7 out of 10. The worst part of this game are the guns/cannons. This is first shooter/action game I ever played where I am running out of ammo all the time. If you shoot at two transformers guess what YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO. Then trying to if more ammo is like finding a needle in a hay stack. You can tell the programmers of this game were trying to cash in on this property and not produce a good game. This game is a RENTAL not a buy. If you want a great shooter game to play then try Sin & Punishment for the Wii. This game makes me very sad.

I waited for this game with such anticipation for months, yet was etremely skeptical

about what we were going to get upon release. Transformers games, and

games based on mega popular IP's, always seem to be underwhelming, or, downright

aweful. I think there were 1000's of fans like me anxious in that regard! =)

In fact I rented it, before I decided to buy it.

Well, I am happy to say any fans of the first Generation of Transformers from the 80's

and even new fans of Transformers are going to fall in love with this game.

Peter Cullen voicing Prime is just aces, and the other voice actors do a terrific

job. The graphics, while yes, might be a bit repetitive due to being on a metal

planet. But how can you incorporate the traditional, colorful, sand zone, water zone,

forest zone, etc on Cybertron? You can't, and I think the developers nailed it

with what they had to work with. I don't think the Decepticons planted flower gardens. =)

While I am loving the campaighn, I have to say the PVP is the most fun I've

possibly had in a PS3 game..to Transform into a Cybertronian Truck and ram

an opposing player or unleash a missile barrage, then transform seemlessly,

into a Robot and unleash your cannons is just

amazing. The controls are tight, and aiming is just right.

With four classes to choose from, and nice customizing options, you will surely find

a class that will work best for you. Even when getting blasted to dust by an

opposing player, I can't help but have a smile on my face...well... sometimes :)

There are some minor negatives. For me, running out of ammo in the campaighn

has been a little frustrating as times.

There are a few other small things..but the good so outperforms the bad, I just can't

bother to be so picky.

This is the game Transformers fans have been waiting for, for wayyy too long.

Another nice part is that Hasbro has allowed this game to be cannon, so you

are playing an actual history of the Transformers.

Thank you High Noon, and here's hoping the game is successful enough to have a part two

in the works, and we have a new series here for years to come!

For the first time ever there is a decent transformers game. This game not only is incredibly fun to play but it is consistent with G1 canon, which is a must for old G1 fans out there like me. The levels have a significant amount of replayability and the story keeps you going through the levels. One of the added bonuses is the banter between characters that are doing the missions with you.

If there were any flaws that I could see in this game, is that you cannot co-op on the same screen. However, if you look at how much time you are going to be spending playing the game on your own, this doesn't measure up much. I am a big fan of the campaign missions.

The multiplayer is great. It has just enough extra added due to being able to transform and select your game type that it makes it stand above similar third person shooters multiplayer. All in all I give it a 4.5 which rounds up to 5 stars. Good Job guys!
