  1. Surprisingly good. It's definitely not as great in the gameplay department as War for Cybertron, with a lot less to do and a far more restricted format, but its superior narrative and decent arcade action is at least enough to make it worth picking up on its own.

    Transformers is a funny "rail shooter" with nice graphics and four different weapons you can use to shot your enemies during two available campaigns. The problem is the game is way too easy, as you can finish it in a few hours. It also lacks any form of progression or power-ups.

    Despite the title, there's no adventuring to be found, and the story is surprisingly weak. [Sept 2010, p.90]

I only had a Wii when War for Cybertron was released, so I decided to try this, thinking that it would be the same. Boy was I wrong. I hate rail shooters unless I'm at an arcade, where I expect them. Releasing this at the same time as War for Cybertron was a mistake. Full Review »

    Pretty fun, though don't expect anything revolutionary. It has a very simple plot with simple gameplay, and that's all I wanted from it. ItPretty fun, though don't expect anything revolutionary. It has a very simple plot with simple gameplay, and that's all I wanted from it. It has some fun references to War for Cybertron, and some design differences that were fun to point out. Graphics were sub-par but it's decent for a wii game. Overall some dumb, simple fun that is especially interesting for a transformers fan. Full Review »
