Excellent review right on the spot, just started playing it great game does have some issues I would say the hole amo thing is really annoying. I also think you should be able to have more weapons at one time.

Yeah, when you put it that way, I say I'd have to agree with you. The impact Arkham Asylum had on the market seems to have been considerably bigger than the one WFC is having.

But I still hope for High Moon Studios to win some awards for this one, they deserve to be acclaimed!

I had the opposite experience with the demo. Mind you, I only played a couple of rounds. It wasn't until I got to level 4 or 5 that I really started having fun online.

No rental service… at all? Man, that would get pricey! Game rentals have gone up in price in recent years, but $10 for a full week is still fine by me. In many cases, I can finish a game in that time. Or in this case, I rented it for a second week to get that extra fill.

In any case, I hope the campaign lives up to your expectations. I sure had a lot of fun with it!

Indeed, it's definitely a bit of a shocker in terms of being a licensed game. But I don't think it's of the same magnitude as Arkham Asylum. That game had little, if any flaws at all. And I felt like it would appeal to just about anyone, regardless of the license. Where as with WFC, old school Transformers fans will likely love it purely for the nostalgic factor, but I'm not sure about everyone else.

I was looking forward to this one. Since I'm a kid growin' up in 80s/90s – Transformers are really close to my heart.

I enjoyed the first Transformers move based game on Xbox360 (yeah it was crap and I loved it anyway ), but still didn't get the second one – no time right now. Anyway – I downloaded the multiplayer demo of Transformers: War For Cybertron and played the shit out of it! Was actually surprised how well the game mechanics work. I have mixed feelings about the design though – almost everything looked the same – tons of steel… but on the other hand – that's what Cybertron should look like.

I was really worried if the singleplayer part would be quite as good as the multiplayer but after reading your review Matt I'm guessing that Transformers WFC will be my next purchase (we don't have any rental service around here unfortunately).

Great review!

If Batman: Arkham Asylum was last year's biggest "surprise," Transformers: War for Cybertron should be this year's.

Excellent game in its entirety, and as always, great review pointing that fact out!
