360, PS3, PC: Transformers - The War For Cybertron **Reviewed by IGN (page 1)**

http://kotaku.com/5421996/transforme...obots-in-gears

Activision has an all-new Transformers game on its slate for next year, one that looks like it will be taking gameplay cues from Gears of War.

According to the newest issue of Game Informer, Transformers: The War for Cybertron is a third-person shooter that chronicles the Autobot's battle waged against the evil forces of the Decepticons. And vice versa, as early reports from subscribers and serious Transformers fans indicate we'll play as both robotic factions.

The game is said to be in development at High Moon Studios, developers of Darkwatch and The Bourne Conspiracy, and due for a 2010 release.

Transformers: The War for Cybertron apparently falls outside various Transformers continuities with a look that's less blocky than the Generation One style of 'bot, but not as visually offensive as the Michael Bay version of the classic Takara toy. Allspark.com forum members peg the visual style as resembling the Transformers: The War Within comic book series. Seen in the mag are Optimus Prime, Megatron—tank-style, not handgun-style—Soundwave, Ironhide and more.

Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC versions of the new Transformers game are said to be in the works. And if we know Activision, it won't stop there.

well, since it's not tied into the films, that's a good start, right?

(but i've read that the revenge of the fallen game is actally pretty good.)

^ Maybe...that being said, I'm not usually a fan of movie-inspired games.

I'm hopeful. If Activision can make it as polished like how they've delivered the CoD games......

i'm not either (a fan of movie-inspired games).

this has potential, imo.

would it be too much to finally have good batman and transformers games in successive years?

Out today...strangely, though...no reviews yet from the usual sources (i.e. IGN, Metacritic).

i got it....if you liked Gears of War, you should like this game. Instead of a cover system, you get to transform.

Yeah! It's the main theme song of the game - comes on as soon as it boots up!








Just kidding. I haven't encountered it yet and I hope I don't. This seems like a serious take on the TF universe and so far it has done a good job.

Started playing it last night...so far, so good. Too bad Megatron's voice is not Frank Welker.

Overall however, quite enjoyable. The action has a Gears of War feel to it.

Finished it recently. It's not a bad game...it's decent. I would give it about 7/10.

It could use a bit more polish overall, but, again...it's not bad.
