Transformers: War for Cybertron challenges players to become the ultimate weapon as a Transformers character in the final, epic war that will determine the survival of their entire race. Armed with a diverse arsenal of lethal, high-tech weaponry and the ability to instantly convert from robot to vehicle at any time, players will engage in heart-pounding battles on land and in the air in this gripping, 3rd person action shooter set in the Transformers' war-ravaged homeland.
This game gave me the same feeling I get when going through Call of Duty singleplayers. Brief cinematic ride filled with action and cool set pieces. That is this whole game and just a bit longer than a COD campaign but not too long as to start feeling tiring. A great story about the last days of Cybertron and how they ended up on earth. The story constantly switches between the autobots and decepticons giving you a great view on both sides of the conflict and what every little plan does in the great scheme of things. Third person combat would some good impactful weapons, although a few of the guns seem pretty much useless or under powered. There are a few vehicle moments that break up the core gameplay as well as some decent stealth areas that really help make the whole ride never feel dull. If you want a fun third person shooter and especially if you like Transformers this will surely entertain.
An amazing shooter--fast, smooth, crunchy, and fun; but maybe even more so: an amazing Transformers experience. "War for Cybertron" is one of the best pieces of Transformers media available. It honors the source material while expanding the mythology in meaningful and exciting ways. The shooting variety is made even more impressive thanks to the transforming mechanic, which lets you go from running and jumping to blasting through stages as a car or truck or jet. It feels so good. The multiplayer was a blast, too. Highly recommended!
