War for Cybertron Review

by **Mark_Chaos** Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:31 pm

Story- On a alien planet called Cybertron, a Civil War has been raging for millions of years between the Autobots and Decepticons. The story also tells how Optimus becomes a Prime, Starscream becoming a Decepticon, and why they had to leave they're home planet Cybertron.

Gameplay- Think of Gears of War with Transformers layered onto it. However, there are many differences. One is the that different characters and classes (in multiplayer mode) have different abilities, such as Leaders have War Cry which power-up yourself and teammates around you, while Scientists have Drain with steal health from opponents. You also have the ability to transform at will in levels that also have guns attached to them and vehicles have a different ability from there robot mode. They can also double jump. There are also 2 levels in the main campaign only for jets.

Graphics- I think this is a pretty cool part of the game. It may not be not awesome since war does this to cities and stuff, but the best part is the road and how some of the environment transform out of nowhere. They also make the characters look like there G1 selves without having to go back in time.

Controls- The controls for the game actually feel pretty good, you got the button to fire weapons, button to jump, and you press in the control stick to transform at will as stated before.

Music- The music isn't anything you haven't already heard before in most war shooter games sadly.

Grade: B

Before anyone starts yelling at me, the reason I'm going with this is because as good as it is for a Transformers' game, you might only buy it if your a Transformers fan looking for a good Transformers game.
