Finally, a well-rated Transformers game! This game is officially sanctioned by Hasbro as cannon, and take place a millenia before the period known as G1. It fills in some gaps in fans' understanding of Transformers lore, explaining things like Starscream's defection from the Autobots, Optimus's succession to the position of Prime, and more. And has pretty decent graphics to boot!
According to the review, its an FPS-style game, that requires you to get a firm grasp on using the different transformations in order to excel at combat.
Transformation in War for Cybertron isn't just a gimmick; levels and encounters are designed around the ability to shift at will between vehicle and humanoid forms, and from early on, a mastery of both forms and knowing when to use them is practically a requirement. High Moon has created a shooter that rewards both strategic thinking and heavy experimentation. From double-jumping into a dash to melee a jet in mid-air, to using a detachable turret on one group of enemies then quick turning 180 degrees as a tank to take out another, to kicking into the air to transform into a jet to use flanking tactics on an enemy position, combat in Transformers: War for Cybertron is more satisfying than any third person shooter in recent memory.
