   Im currently in the process of playing this game, im on chapter 5.

I am impressed, this game is alot of fun, especially for a big transformers fan like myself, im lovin the graphics and the great storyline, along with the details of each transformer. One thing i was upset about the movie is they didnt use mirage and wheeljacks real names but they did in the game, i think mirages was dino and wheeljacks was cube or something like that, but anyways, a few complaints though, their are a few glitches here and there and the other thing is, ive got like an hour playing time into this game and im already on chapter 5! Theirs only 7 chapters, the campaign is wayyyyyyy too short, but havent tried multiplayer yet, i sure will once the campaign is complete, but anyways,so far the game is alot of fun, if you are a die hard transformers fan like me and you enjoyed the movies, then you will enjoy this game, despite its very short length, not as good or long as war for cybertron but still a good transformers game 8/10… Expand

   Transformers dark of the moon
   great but broken game
   Dark of the moon is a very fun to play beat up shooter. Theres 7 chapters in the gameTransformers dark of the moon
   great but broken game
   Dark of the moon is a very fun to play beat up shooter.
   Theres 7 chapters in the game all staring a different character from the transformers universe.
   Youll get to play as both autobots and decpticons
   while the story didn’t really draw me in, watching it all play out was a blast.
   as a transformer you can of course switch iin and out of vehicle mode
   While in vehicele mode you can move much quickly, and have an extra layer of armour making yuou a bullet sponge,
   the only downside is your weapons to less damage
   when youre in robot form you can slice and blast enemies to bits.
   Every robot handles identically qhich is a shame, but to mix it up, they at least all have different abilities, such as cloak, and health drain.
   The game play is very fast paced and action filled, much like the movies
   levels are very linear and all play out the same
   basically get to the next spot on the map and take out everything in your way.
   The gameplay does switch up quite bit though to prevent the 4 hour journey to the credits from feeling like a grind.
   This game is very unstable though, about halfway through the game starts to lag like the good ole ps2 days.
   You move faster than the game does, which leads to mid game loads and even crashes.
   I experienced 2 game crashes during my playthrough, but luckily checkpoints are frequent enough for me to have not lose any serious progressions.
   Darok of the moon also features multiplayer mode consisting of deathmatch, team deathmatch and conquest
   unfortunately I could only ifnd matches in team deathmatch.
   Multiplayer is basically rockem sock em robots meets call of duty.
   Decpticons vs autobots
   You choose one of the 4 classes and battle to death cap
   leveling up is quick and the gameplay is surprisingly fun
   Not addictive enough to keep you playing past the level 20 level cap though
   Transformers dark of the moon is a really great game, and definitely worth your time… Expand

   Considering the fact that movie tie-in games tend to be gay as aids, the first Transformers Game was probably one of my favourite games on theConsidering the fact that movie tie-in games tend to be gay as aids, the first Transformers Game was probably one of my favourite games on the PS2. I'm a sucker for open-world gameplay, the freedom to do whatever you want wherever you want in a thoroughly non-linear setting, admittedly, there was a lot wrong with the gameplay, but it was just undeniable fun to stomp around mission city as my favourite transformers. Then came "War for Cybertron", which I only got around to playing a few months ago, while it was quite the linear game (-____-) it was undeniable Transformers gold and a love letter to the utter classiness of G1 Transformers. So I can understand why good ol' Activision would try and emulate WfC's gameplay style with this offering, simply because War for Cybertron's gameplay style worked, but the thing is, G1 Transformers and Michael Bay Transformers are two very different things, as such the linear and non-linear gameplay styles work for each brand respectively. That should give you a hint as to where this review is heading. The Campaign is predictable, an equal number of Autobot and Decepticon levels followed by a boss fight. Over the course of these levels, you play as Bumblebee, Ironhide, Mirage (Dino in the film). Soundwave (with a guest appearance from Lazerbeak), Starscream, Megatron and finally a one-room boss fight between Optimus Prime and Shockwave). Respectable character choices, I think. The environments are pretty, but level-design is poor and the linear progression soon becomes a chore rather than a fun gameplay style like WfC. You're three different character forms are present like in WfC only now the 'halfway point' between robot and actual car is more powerful than any other form, and since you can move around much easier in this form (know as 'Stealth Force') it gives you very little reason to sample the others, short of using your special abilities and Mirage's Sniper Rifle. All of these culminates in the obvious fact, this game shouldn't try and be WfC, it should try and be a Michael Bay Transformer's game. The plot is generic and boring as watching grass grow, with no real objective to keep you interested in seeing the game through, the game relies entirely on the big explosions to keep you interested, and in the event that this game were any longer, I honestly wouldn't have bothered, probably the most poorly written prequel in existence, which brings me to the games primary fault, it isn't Dark of the Moon, it's an unnecessary prologue to Dark of the Moon. Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime :D as he always does but the stand-in voice actors for everyone else are atrocious, not only that, but the dialogue is so pointless and dry that I had to mute the game to stop myself from taking the disk out and snapping it (also, it cost me $69, so there was very little motivation there). The soundtrack is brilliant (as it comes straight from the movie's soundtrack, which was brilliant) and distracted from the atrocious dialogue. The multiplayer is also generic and identical to every other cheaply designed multiplayer package in existence, with nothing substantial to keep you playing for more than a few minutes.
   Overall, Dark of the Moon is a poor attempt at riding the coattails of War for Cybertron's success by mimicking it's gameplay with some very minor and **** up tweaks, and when I fork out anything above $50 for a game, I expect more than this, a pure disappointment, that keeps its head above water simply because it's **** Transformers. Verdict: -5.6 (Rounded to 6)… Expand

   Totally mediocre game. As a Transformers fan it was mildly enjoyable being able to play as some of the characters, but the robot forms feltTotally mediocre game. As a Transformers fan it was mildly enjoyable being able to play as some of the characters, but the robot forms felt too sluggish for it to be fun. In the movies and cartoons and anywhere else you see them they're very nimble in their robot forms. Even though they're huge they don't move like they're huge. In this game you move like you're a giant robot. You can only move at one pace, the jumping feels very clumsy and most unforgivable of all there's no dodge button. I will admit I enjoyed watching the transformations between forms and the vehicle forms were fun when you're in an open area, but even if you absolutely loved this game I'd still recommend renting it as it's extremely short. I beat it in just a few hours and I'm not exactly an expert game player.… Expand
