XBOX 360 REVIEW – Transformers: War For Cybertron

Posted July 17th 2010 by Frankie Aguilar.

When I opened the box to Transformers: War for Cybertron, I found myself muttering under my breath, almost like a silent prayer to the gods of gaming, please just let this game be better than the movies. I grew up with Transformers, toys and show alike, and while Michael Bay's first attempt at bringing them to life was admirable, his follow up was disastrous. The Transformers have become a punchline these days, and so, as I fired up the game I continued my prayer. Within the first five minutes of gameplay, I thought my whispers might have been heard. An hour later I was sure of it.

Transformers: War for Cybertron, is first and foremost, fun. It doesn't take itself ridiculously serious like its recent movie counterparts, and doesn't feel the need to add a gigantic explosions every time you walk around a corner. Everything you could want from a Tranformers game is here. Megatron is as much a megalomaniac as always, and Optimus Prime is still the ultimate boy scout, and a host of other familiar bots fall in to rank behind the two opposing leaders. Big guns, fast paced battles, and cool transformations, what more could you as for.
