    Haven't progressed too far, but I would recommend this as a rental unless you're a die-hard fan of the Transformers. Seems a lot more like a Transformers cartoon that you can play than a game. I do enjoy seeing my fave robots in lots of cutscenes, but I wish I could do more with them. It is highly linear and though I understand the design choices for showing off the different styles ofHaven't progressed too far, but I would recommend this as a rental unless you're a die-hard fan of the Transformers. Seems a lot more like a Transformers cartoon that you can play than a game. I do enjoy seeing my fave robots in lots of cutscenes, but I wish I could do more with them. It is highly linear and though I understand the design choices for showing off the different styles of Autobot/Decepticon powers and needing to show both sides of the conflict, the game feels a lot like an expansion to the previous War for Cybertron rather than a major upgrade. I have yet to reach the most talked about levels or try the multiplayer, but the single-player experience (though it looks great, sounds great, and feels great) is more limited and less empowering than I was hoping for.… Expand

    A tale of two games, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron plods through its opening acts only to redeem itself with a strong showing at the end. Plenty of fan service will make series vets smile.

    If the vehicles were up to snuff then this would be a game worth celebrating. [Issue#223, p.85]

    It's a pity that your enemies can't transform themselves and the game only gets going when it puts you behind the wheel (pun intended) of the sneaky Cliffjumper in a level that feels like a tribute to Uncharted. It even has the same voice actor. [October 2012, p.68]
