Transformers: War for Cybertron

Today's review is on...Transformers: War for Cybertron

ESRB Rating: T (Teen)

Platforms: XBOX 360-PS3-Wii-DS-PC

Plot:
It's a classic Transformers plot. Let's all say it on 3. Ready? 1..2..3 "Stop Megatron!" Once again, Megatron is up to no good and it's up to the Autobots to stop him. This time, Megatron is trying to take over the Transformers home-world of Cybertron by collecting dark energon and shoving it up the ass of the planet's core. It's up to Optimus Prime and his pals to stop him before Megatron can claim Cybertron for himself and make the Autobots wait twice as long at the DMV.

Gameplay:
This Transformers game takes place in the G1 series, or Generation One, which means that everybody looks old school. You can still transform into you vehicle mode, which includes cars, tanks, trucks and even jet planes. Every character you play as only has one basic melee attack. They turn their hands into random blunt objects, and unleash one swift swing at your enemy. Who has time for that when you can pick up weapons and shoot your enemy in the face! You get snipers, rocket launchers and even rifle-like guns. It's not an open world game, but they give you enough room to transform and do some quick drifting!

Visuals:
Again, another beautiful game to look at. There is really nothing wrong with the graphics in this game. They clearly took there time and made it pretty to look at. Since they are Transformers, you can see the occasional movement of some of their body parts, which is really cool.

Length:
You can play as both the Autobots and Decepticons. To make the story clear, they force you to start off as the Decepticons, but who gives a shit. You were going to do it, anyways! Some levels are a lot longer that others. Some go for about half an hour, while others leave you begging for a checkpoint to turn it off! It took me a few days to beat this game, but it all depends on how long you play it. This is not a game that can be done in a few hours, so take your time and enjoy what the game throws at you.

My Opinion:
I personally love the Transformers game series, so this was a must buy for me. If the little kid in you wants it, get it! You can't go wrong with this game if you pick it up. Clearly, it's not for everyone, so I hope my review on this game helps you make up your mind.
