    Wii gamers will certainly enjoy a game that was built just for them, and Transformers fans will love the attention to detail their franchise has been given.

    Provides a few hours of beat-'em-up/shooting action encased in a well-presented if corny story. The Wii isn't exactly teeming with playable action titles these days, so it might be worth a shot when you finish The Conduit this month.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen would have been better if there was more focus on its vehicular sequences. As it stands, it is a mediocre beat‘em-up that you can safely pass by.

    A mediocre action game that should have had more time to get polished. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen feels unfinished, with the same repetitive missions and missing cutscenes.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for Nintendo Wii is a honest tie-in. The game features decent graphics and a good variety of situations but suffers from poor scenarios and ugly fights.

    Plagued with repetition and just poor presentation.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen could have been an amazing game, but control problems - among other missteps - ruined this game.

    Even hard mode doesn't offer much of a challenge. [Sept 2009, p.90]

    Transformers isn’t a really bad game, if you like it easy. You can have it, but you don’t have to.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a gameplay disaster filled with one-dimensional characters that lacks many of the impressive ILM effects from the film. Yet somehow its story is still better than the ­movie’s.

    This bland, uninspired adventure will probably make your wrist hurt. Fortunately, it's over quickly.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has close to zero redeeming qualities. I only say "close to" in case I actually forgot something, though at the moment, I can't think of any. Well, I guess the almost complete lack of Shia Labeouf is one thing.

    In truth, there is absolutely nothing good about Revenge of the Fallen on the Wii. From the horrible graphics, sound, controls, camera and value I could not find a single meaningful positive thing to say about this game. This is yet another poorly made videogame adaptation that should have never been made.

    The game is unforgivably short, looks bad, the waggle controls hurt, and the game forces players to do too much melee.

    This game only exists to feed the marketing machine, and as such isn't a dreadful game, but it isn't enjoyable either.
  18. GamingTrend

    The controls were raw at best, and infuriating at worst. The graphics are workable, but not stunning. The game play was repetitive and drab.

    This game, has a bad graphics. But, this game is most funny thing ever. Because, the every level is difference. Soundtrack is godlike.
