Skimpy Singleplayer, Entertaining Multiplater

To really enjoy it though, I think you'd have to be a real fan. The game pays some homage to G1 fans out there. The singleplayer can be played both as either Autobots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Breakaway, Ironhide, Ratchet) and Decipticons (Megatron, Starscream, Grindor, Long Haul, Sideways). They don't have much to choose from but it is a pretty good list. The number grows a bit for multiplayer however throwing in Seeker and Protectobot, etc.
The singleplayer missions vary from defending/ruining buildings, escorting people, races, and of course transformer fighting! Though some missions seem like they are really rushed and not long at all to keep one entertained.
Also between missions cutscenes are played out by both factions "hideouts" which seem just a bit odd that they keep coming back to same spot to discuss what happened.. only to go back to the same area, it just doesn't make much sense. Each mission is timed and depending on how fast you are you rewarded with medals, platinum being the best through bronze.
The multiplayer however is where this game could shine even more if they put more work into it, and i mean more maps and characters.. even a more balanced multiplayer system, as of now seems like if things aren't going right people drop out or relocate to the other team. With those nuisances, the multiplayer is actually quite fun, no side is more overpowered than the other and its justs so fun when you are victorious.
I recommend this as a rental to any fan or casual gamer that likes the movies. Otherwise I feel some may be a bit disappointed. Rental at least!

The single player is basically a run and gun. You got people saying there isn't enough to do, yet the list that you have to defend this,destroy that,kill this boss,protect this person,transport this person, blow up this blow up that and they say it isn't enough? What more could you expect? Puzzles? This is Transformers not dang Bejewled. The single player is only good for the unlockables, you can unlock vintage episodes of the transformers cartoons, kinda like walking down memory lane when you get bored or can't be tied to the control for the 15 minutes ish it takes for a ranked match.
There are several multiplayer modes, but the problem is that this game has the movie game stigma and everyone assumes it sucks, and granted the single player isn't the greatest but it serves it's purpose. If you like Chromhounds online you'll like Transformers2. It's very similar except that,you can transform and get around a heck of a lot quicker and you can't customize like you can your hounds.
The multiplayer is balanced pretty well,nothing is too overpowering so you dont get everyone picking the same transformer. You can pretty much pick what you think is fun and do well on most maps. The only thing that would have me questioning the longevity of the online play is the mere lack of people playing the game, like I said, it has the movie game stigma and lots of people seem to be staying away, so that scares me that a day could come when you try to search for a game and there simply aren't any, but thats months and months away.
My opinion=Singleplayer=3 Multiplayer=9 out of 10

Although I'm not a "huge" childhood fan of Transformers the game was entertaining especially to get the achievements. If your not after the achievements then good luck trying to find something exciting about this simple and clean game.

Its not the worst movie game I've ever played

The Camera is all over the place. While attacking enemies I frequently lost them as the camera jumped around. This especially happens when you get up close to melee them. Very frustrating when you have to circle around just to orient yourself again to the enemy position.
The best part of the game was unlocking the old-school transformers cartoons. I found myself watching these then not wanting to go back to the gameplay.
The worst part, maybe just a pet peeve, is on escort missions. The escorted party is always yelling at you to come save them, help them, don't leave the convoy, don't go hunting, where are you, etc...etc... It's nonstop, even when they have full health they are screaming bloody murder. I had to turn the sound down just to concentrate.
I didn't even finish the campain before I returned it because I only foresaw more of the same gameplay the 1st half of the game provided. The same repetitive levels chasing down enemies that run away from you.

What's the opposite of The "Wow" Factor?

Pros: it's pretty. The graphics are detailed and vivid.
- I did enjoy the G1 episodes that are part of the unlockables. More for the nostalgia than anything.
Cons: Where to begin:
- As one who enjoys campaign play to be immerse and engaging, this campaign doesn't even come close to doing that. Both campaigns are broken into missions that are loosely joined, if at all. Coupled with the fact that the average play time for a mission is about 5 minutes, there is barely any continuity in the storyline.
- What can save a weak storyline, though, are great cut scenes. This game has one. Not even one "great cut scene", just one cut scene.
- Each mission is played in a zone. These zones are relatively small and after completing half the missions, you begin to feel a little cramped wondering if you'll ever get a zone you can really explore.
- I hated the controls. I know control layout varies from mfg and games to their respective counterparts. But let's agree on one standard: Right-trigger always shoots. To couple it with the transforming action (and then tie it to the vehicle speed) in addition to the weapon only made it very confusing at times.
- The dialogue is weak. Mikaela and Sam's parts are irritating to listen to. Especially Sam's. You also have the transformers conversing with themselves in between missions. The idea is that their dialogue will vary in relation to your performance. The result is a very disjointed conversation that will eventually bore you to tears.
3/10
