Ably borrows the best ideas from great games
Respectful use of the property that still feels fresh
Moving around as a vehicle, especially a jet, is fun, Escalation provides a clever twist to the standard Horde mode, Competitive play has unique classes and plenty of rewards to strive for.
Lack of visual and gameplay variety in the campaign, Paucity of ammunition, Boss fights are incredibly tedious, Friendly and enemy AI is poor, Transformations are integrated poorly with the core action.
The well-realized license in this third-person shooter can hide the myriad problems for only so long....
Abstract: “One shall stand. All others shall fall”. That should be the new catchphrase for Transformers: War for Cybertron, a game that so perfectly captures the essence of being a transformer, a game that makes the most of its license, a game that will make you...
High Moon has been very good at saying all the right things with War for Cybertron leading up to its arrival in stores, but many licensed titles have talked a great game before falling apart when all was said and done. Thankfully, War for Cybertron imp...
Abstract: The Transformers franchise has seen commercial success for the better part of the past 26 years. While there have been many different versions of Transformers over the years, few have managed to acquire the same level of success that the original, Gen...

Abstract: Back for another bout of wanton robotic destruction, the Autobots and Decepticons battling takes place this round on Cybertron, the machines’ home planet. Players once again can fight on either side, choosing from a roster that swells in ranks a...
Great story added to Transformers canon Really gorgeous visuals Stellar voice cast Really fun multiplayer modes Good use of transforming
Occasionally temperamental controls Environments and enemies all start to look the same Not enough ammo No snap-to cover
War for Cybertron is something of a mixed bag of a game. However, the multiplayer modes are fantastic; combined with the addition of some new canon Transformers lore for fans, we'd have to say it's worth the price of admission....
Very appealing to longtime fans, strong suite of multiplayer options, solid array of single-player missions
Shooting mechanics are comparatively simple, customisation occasionally seems superfluous compared to the ability to transform
Boasting all of the trademark transformative action of the long-running franchise, Transformers: War for Cybertron is a solid, in-your-face shooter that goes out of its way to appeal to longtime fans...
