    Angry Birds Transformers is a surprisingly good run & gun, with smooth graphics, nice shooting mechanics and a lot of characters to unlock and upgrade.

    The free-to-play cash-grabbery is invasive, but the game is a lot of fun. [Issue#255, p.77]

    Freemium quibbles aside, as a game Angry Birds Transformers does a great job of appealing to Transformers fans old and new, while also providing yet more proof that Red, Chuck and crew are characters flexible enough to fit neatly into new stories and game genres.

    This game represents a fun and fresh way to change the classic mechanics of the saga, and a cool way to waste your time. The free to pay policy is a little too constraining, but it's still worth playing.

    It’s not perfect, but it’s so charming that you have to at least give it a spin.

    Free to play veterans will put up with the shenanigans Angry Birds Transformers tries to pull in the name of a quality shooter, but those just looking for a quick burst of fun may find the wait timers and slow progress distasteful.

    Transformed in a way you wouldn't expect, Angry Birds Transformers is a quite entertaining auto-runner.

    Although Angry Birds Transformers doesn’t reach stratospheric heights due to its repetitive gameplay, there are other elements that should keep you intrigued for the long run.

    It's absolutely worth your time, even under the frustrating veneer of free-to-play madness.

    If you love Transformers or Angry Birds, or best of all both, you'll probably get an hour or two of fun out of Angry Birds Transformers. Beyond that, you're going to have to have a lot of patience for timers and grinding coins.

    Angry Birds Transformers is a nice change of pace for the franchise, which is extremely well put together. With that said, the game is relatively simple and redundant with just short bursts of play time making it worth considering depending on your affinity for the Angry Birds.

    Flat and tedious on rails shooter that crosses two popular sagas with not very good results.

    Yes, it is fun, but it doesn't feel as rewarding or addictive as other Angry Birds games. Still, a crossover worth checking out.

It's a fun run & gun with some fantastic graphics, excellent controls, and some of your favorite Angry Birds and some of your favorite Transformers. Plenty references to the old cartoons are abound and the amount of explosions pokes fun at the Michael Bay movies.

    Each Transformer bird has it's own powers and the way the platforms in the levels are set up are a reference to the series roots. Destroying the right piece can cause the whole thing to go down taking out the enemies with it. Even better is that it's free-to-play.

    You don't have to put down a dime in this game and the plethora of great content makes it feel like a steal. The gameplay might not change much throughout, but overall it's a very fun experiment that's worth the download. I give it an 8.9/10.    … Full Review »

Perfect commuter game - I say this, because like all freemium games there is a pay-wall in the form of game timers. You will run out of available levels to play, and your choices are to either wait for more to spawn, or pay real money to spawn more at once. Your bots need to be upgraded to tackle more challenging levels, and that process takes time (or you can pay to upgrade instantly). As your bots take damage in levels, you can restore them over time or pay to heal them immediately. Thankfully the timers hit just about the time that the gameplay itself starts to feel a tad repetitive, so for those of us with shorter attention spans (or a short commute) it's not really noticeable. Hardcore grinders will be frustrated as this game gates player progress very strictly, unless you want to put up some cash. Later patches added more "cash-grab" touches like a "nuke" option to blow away a challenging level (costs money to use), special bonus events with above-average rewards (costs money to open), and - gasp! - cosmetic items to attach to your bots, which have no affect on gameplay but which cost a LOT of money. Some users reported bugs where game progress would be lost - I thankfully haven't encountered this, but occasionally the game will quit to the home screen in the middle of a level (no real impact - just have to open the game again and re-launch the level). Of course there are the obligatory commercials between levels, standard fare for any free game, but they are short. Graphics are gorgeous, including little touches like slow-motion (when you dodge a falling object just in the nick of time), or the "VHS ripple" effect when your bot gets low on energy. Overall a fun game to play.… Full Review »
