    Overall, there are not too many problems with the game, but it just doesn't come together well. It doesn't really have anything that truly stands out as the problem; it just wasn't fully realized as a good game.

    I am a diehard Transformers fan ever since the original G1 series and I can't believe such a staple of the series is missing. With the lack of features, average graphics, acceptable sound, and a completion time of less than 7 hours, I'd say Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Stealth Force Edition is a budget title at best but nothing an avid gamer or hardcore fan would take seriously, especially with the 50$ price tag.

    Trust me, you aren't missing anything by passing this game up. Optimus Prime is dead, and it's this game that killed him.

    One of the biggest disappointments this summer.

    This is not a good game by any stretch, and I should probably mention again that it's a Transformers game that has undercut the core mechanic of the entire franchise: transforming.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition is unfortunately stricken by a strange control scheme, an extremely short campaign and a repetitive nature, despite a fairly interesting scenario and solid, glitch-free gameplay.

    It shows glimmers of fun, but a short story mode and lack of replay factor stifle it. [Sept 2011, p.98]

    After the fairly good on-rail shooter released last year, the Transformers come back on Wii and this time around they can't actually transform. However, that's not the major problem. Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon - Stealth Force Edition is in fact a poorly executed action game with cumbersome controls, repetitive action and a very short single player campaign.

    Not being able to transform in a Transformers game is ridiculous.

    Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition starts out as a bad vehicle combat game and never transforms into anything else.

    It is remarkable in its ability to make five minutes seem like five hours. Pickings might be slim on both the Wii and 3DS this summer, but Transformers Stealth Force Edition isn't diversion. It's abuse.

    A supreme disappointment. The developer's seemingly lazy decision to replace robot transformation with an armed car mode takes away the principle draw of Transformers, while the game's mediocre graphics, counterintuitive controls, and uninspired mission structure rip the heart out of a franchise that already feels far removed from its glorious past.

It took about the whole tutorial before I was completely bored with the game, the repetitive gameplay, and the unimpressive graphics. The nearest equivalent I can imagine to this game is playing a decade old demo over and over again with some decent cutscenes thrown in. Twisted Metal came out over 15 years ago and is superior to this title in almost every conceivable way. Avoid this game. It is really bad.… Full Review »

    Probably the worst transformers game ever made, stealth force does nothing right. Terrible controls, graphics, and little replayibility.

    what's decent of the game: gameplay is decent; you ram and destroy your enemies, have power ups like unlimited ammo, different missions, split screen so u can play with a friend
    bad: well where can i start....graphics looks lazy, chances are you will hate the gameplay, u don't transform...etc
    bottom line: don't buy it. buy war for cybertron and fall of cybertron (ps3/xbox360)    … Full Review »
