Arguably the best superhero game ever.......
Anyways i said arguably the best superhero game as it is very difficult to choose between this game and Batman Arkham Asylum. That game got away with 9. 6.5 is too low for this game. It deserves atleast an 8.5 if not 9. Maybe it would have got that if it was a Sony exclusive or a Rockstar game.
This game has everything, amazing story, great graphics, great design, voice acting etc. The planet cybertron is a great break from Earth where the last two pathetic games were based on. Transformers 1 was downright abysmal and revenge of the fallen refused to change its graphic resolution on some PCs.
So there was nothing much expected of this game. Many people critics and gamers alike may have gone with a low expectation. While the gamers were blown away, some of the critics like this site and gametrailers were too infuriated with a transformer game being so good. Its like fanboys of different sports getting frustrated when a new team wins the soccer world cup.
There is lots to say about this game. But fewer said the better. The robot controls are way better and the guns are extremely fun. Plus the jumping, evading and shooting which is non-existent in today's games "Thanks A Lot" (sarcasm) to the cover systems..... is BAAACK!!!
Its almost like going back in the old days and replaying the Unreal Tournament or Quake game. This is what Unreal Tournament 3 should have been. Sadly it isn't. Anyways transforming is a crucial element in a transformer game and that is implemented almost impeccably.
The Best thing is you are no longer on earth like the previous game or the megan fox, shia belouf movie. Cybertron is darker and much more technologically advanced environment to be in. Feels like you are actually residing in a robot's planet. Plus the models for the robots are not like the movie models and thankfully they used the originally cartoon's model just like Batman AA did with their character models. This is an excellent point to note and a must to implement if anybody else is creating a superhero game.
You have various characters that you get to choose from to play. You start with the Decepticons which has Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave etc. and then Autobots has Optimus Prime, Iron Hyde, Air Raid etc. You also have two unlockable characters. Multiplayer is awesome. You have co-op modes in campaign or you can just play a death match like Counter Strike.
As i said again, the Very best part of this game that makes this game so enjoyable is the overall Gameplay. The shooting, evading, health system, turret manning, transforming, melee weapon attacking, new guns, grenades etc. i can go on and on.
Lastly, this is the Best Third Person shooter since Gears Of War and also the Best Superhero game along with Batman Arkham Asylum. Don't go by the garbage review and the 6.5 score. This is a solid 9.0 game and regardless of if you are a transformers fan or not you have to give this game a try.....
