Transformers: La Guerre pour Cybertron

This may sound biased *ahem title ahem* but this is by far not only one of my favorite games(along side TF: FOC) but also one of the best games I've ever played. Is it glitchy? Yes. Does it lag? Yes. Does it sometimes freeze and require me to completely turn off my ps3? YES!!!! I couldn't care less about that stuff. The game is old and my ps3 is old so it messing up more often is kind of a no-brainer. The mechanics, the designs, the environment, the voice actors, the story, all of these things are just a few incredible factors. If anyone reads this, I'd recommend this game(if you own a ps3 and purchase or find your game). Even if you don't like Transformers, that shouldn't keep you from playing something new. You might love it, you might hate it. No harm in trying :)

"War for Cybertron", ideal for getting your Autobot and action game fix in the same place. This was a happy surprise for me, to say the least. For one thing, it's a lot of fun, and a great excuse to run around the machine world blasting stuff. Two, and here's the nice thing, it harks back to the '80s.

It makes me wish Michael Bay had gone for something like this for the live-action movies. It's got screaming guitar rock that seems appropriate for his stuff, but it's also got characters with personalities, bot designs that aren't eyesores, and the general feel that Transformers is supposed to have.

And I'm thankful for all of it.

8/10

initially i was skeptic about getting this game at first but when i saw the trailer for it i was excited this game stays true to the g1 roots in design and personality for the characters and every character is unique in his own way cybertron is well designed as well being that every obstacle can pretty much be destroyed and the boss battles are pretty tough themselves However a few things i find a little annoying is the flying as a jet character which you at times need to ascend or descend and the combat is poor only 1 whack with a weapon and that is it but overall greatest transformers game ever made buy it rent it either way get it as soon as possible

To date Transformers: War for Cybertron is the best Transformers game. Followed closely by its sequel, Fall of Cybertron.

The gameplay feels flawless and frenetic. Every time I died I thought, "yeah, I deserved that." Perfectly-paced, refusing to slow down at all the right moments, the level design is varied and engaging. Transforming is quick and flows perfectly during combat. There are enough power-ups scattered throughout to complete the game on Easy and Normal difficulties without too much frustration. I almost felt like I was playing a movie at times, like when playing as Megatron and fighting Omega Supreme, transforming into tank form, firing off a couple rounds and viewing that from an exciting angle... it's visually cinematic greatness. What an EPIC boss fight!

Getting to play as both Autobots AND Decepticons is so satisfying. Not enough games allow us to play as the antagonists /villains during the main story, as that option is mostly reserved for multiplayer jiggama-jag. The single-player campaign is so damn solid in War for Cybertron, so playing as the baddies is icing on this tasty cake. I absolutely loved playing as Megatron, tearing through unworthy foes and traitors.

The cinematics' visuals are fine and are the only thing that inevitably date this game's graphics in a less-than-great way. (The voice-acting, however, is SUPERB.) The graphics during gameplay are very good, and I was never too confused by a lack of visual clarity.

Perhaps the only thing I wanted more from War for Cybertron was just... MORE OF IT! I wanted to play as more characters and when the game ended, I wanted the story to continue to keep playing. Thankfully there's an excellent sequel!

I'll add this: I like Transformers. Love some of it... the Bumblebee movie, the 1984 movie, these Cybertron games. But I don't blindly like all Transformers projects. I'm not a 'biased' Transformers fanboy. In fact, I sometimes prefer Macross ; ) Most of the Transformers television projects and movies are crap. Many of the games don't deliver. Transformers: War for Cybertron, however, is perfection. I say this as a 30+ year gamer and NOT the biggest Transformers fan. The devs knocked this game out of the park. They nailed it. One of the handful of games I've rated a '10'. And well-deserved.

Well done High Moon Studios! I hope every one of you who worked on this game are proud of this accomplishment. You made one of the best video games of all time.

While it is a by the books in terms of gameplay, and as a game and doesn't change anything in gaming, as a TF game, It manages to stay faithful to the Source Material with it's investing story, gameplay that allows you to take weapons, but also Transform into a vehicle. While may be disappointing that the side you choose after another has more abilities than the way you play, this nonetheless is the best TF game along with, FoC and Devastation.
