Conclusion

Slightly disappointing, however, is that despite there being a huge range of Transformers that you can potentially play as they all fit into the four classes and as such, no matter which one you choose in a particular class, they generally control and play very similarly. Nevertheless, they’ve be designed impeccably and whether you’re using Shockwave to transform into jet, or Demolishor to turn into a tank, it’s fun to watch and equally as entertaining zooming around blasting away at enemies in some fiercely fought battles.

Transformers War For Cybertron isn’t going to win any awards come the end of the year, but it does offer plenty of entertainment with its range of impressively performing robotic shape-shifters. The production is generally excellent and there are some memorable boss battles and fun to watch cut-scenes that break up some of the repetitive missions. There could have been a lot more features added to the gameplay to give it a little but more spice, but there's still plenty to recommend for fans of Transformers, not least its class-based multiplayer mode and fine implementation of co-op play.

Normally only get either the consoles or PC version to review, so have to make a choice as to which platform to get.
PC version is pretty much the same, few differences mind you, game is locked at 30fps, the ini files are all heavily encrypted so you can't even alter the controls everything is set.

But that being said, their is now a workaround for the 30fps and the game itself works flawlessley.

Anyone into the armoured core, transformers genre will love this game i did.
Is Megan in it ???! lol - i'll buy it:)
