Fall of Cybertron is everything us fans hoped to be that we didn't get in War for Cybertron. Colorful characters, devastating weapons, and an awesome story. This game improves so much from its predecessor that one has to wonder why we even played the first game to begin with.

Most of the original robots do appear but some have small cameos and aren't playable. However High Moon Studios gives us characters that we could only hope to play as. Grimlock, Soundwave and even the Combaticon Bruticus is playable in some levels. However like most games it does have it's problems

Your health system will drain considerably during a fight, there is no cover oddly in a third person-shooter cover game, and combat is somewhat not as effective as before.

But Fall of Cybertron is everything we want and more from transformers so I highly recommend it next time you visit a store

Yeah I'm a Transformers fan, and I've played the first game and I'm proud to say a bolt of energon stuck twice, which also makes these licensed Transformers games an official as well as memorable franchise, which is something that doesn't happen often with most licensed video games.

As much as I liked the first game, I really liked this second one a bit more because there were some slight improvements. I really love the graphical presentation which looks even better than the first game, from the details of Cybertron but most importantly the character models. The color, physical features, to even some show of some wear on both Autobots and Decpetcons like seeing the paint on a few of them looking a bit faded; which I like because it gives the robots a slightly grounded sensibility. Also looking at them once again I can't help but wonder why the heck couldn't the robots in the Live Action films look as good as this. Music is great there is a memorable tune or two.

The voice acting as usual is spot on from Peter Cullen whom as usual is excellent as Optimus Prime. Steven Blum is excellent as Shock Wave has that chilling cold calculating voice, to me Shock Wave was always like a evil Vulcan; though he didn't do the voice of Starscream in this game which I thought was too bad since he did it in the "Transformers Prime" TV show but oh well. Nolan North is solid as Cliffjumper and on further note he also voice acted for "Transformers Prime" as Autobot Sideswipe. Troy Baker was fantastic as Jazz, that voice was just so spot on he really did sound like Scatman Curuthers. And the rest were great too, did like the actors that voice Megatron and Starscream they really sounded like Frank Welker and Chris Latta though they weren't.

The story I thought was great, once again it's a mystery it's a different kinda of intrigue because we already know the ending but the question is about the how. We see a little more of the last days of the war on Cybertron. How much damage the Decepticons dealt to put both the Autobots and the planet in the bad state it's in. And what the Autobots had to do to get their long mission started.

But most important is the game play which I thought was excellent. I like that you get to switch hands for your weapons, which really works to your advantage as you can utilize your positioning of fire much better. There is still the RPG like element where primary and heavy weapon you hold you can upgrade. And like in the first game you get in sections to play on both teams as different Autobots and Decepticons.

However one thing that really stands out and I feel slightly improves on the original game is each of the chapters that you play though are truly a different challenge, and in each of these challenge you get to utilize the assigned abilities of each of the characters. Which to me keep the game fresh and really causes you to adapt to the situations as well as utilize different tactics to win.

Overall, if your a Transformers fan or rookie to the franchise. Or even just a gamer looking for a really good licensed video game then this is the game worth rolling toward. This game has enough energon and ammo for fun.

Rating: 4 stars

I played this game and it was so fun but sadly the online severs shut down and now there's no really good transformers game anymore and I know a lot of people who wish this gets remasterd for new consoles with the online mode available.

The best transformers game ever, AMAZING!!! Awesome gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, story!!!

Transformers fall of Cybertron was my favorite game growing up and is definitely still top 3 (god of war pretty good). But you can tell how much effort went into this game and it isn't just a cheap money grab made by a popular franchise like the newest Avengers game of Rise of the dark spark. Activision killed this series and that just makes me sad. Dark Moon did absolutely stellar job. You can tell they care about every character and try to get you to as well as all of them have different perspective of the war and attributes. They make the gameplay and level design different with each character having different abilities. They made the boss fights epic and great hard difficult for those up to the challenge. Unique enemies like the sea of rust alien things were cool. I enjoyed going stealth with cliff jumper and starscream. And of course grmilock, bruticus, metroplex, and the final face off between negation and Optimus was just epic. This game deserves game of the year. Fans complain so much about the humans in the movies that I wished they just played these two incredible games. Peter Cullen is back and they even got Nolan North! This is the exact war story and gameplay I wanted about a robot war. The amount of effort in the campaign went into the multiplayer and survival game mode as well. Till all are one.

Best game ever shame activision are frauds and ruined what was a good gaming franchise. They don't make games like this anymore they should really remaster this utter masterpiece if activision get the rights back.
