    This game is good and bad at the same time. If you've played War for Cybertron, DotM will play nearly identical. So, playing and beating the campaign in less than 4 hours on normal difficulty was entertaining for the most part.

However, the fact that this game came out AFTER War for Cybertron, I felt disappointed. DotM is basically War for Cybertron watered down. There is no longer co-op campaign, the campaign is shorter than WFC's, there is absolutely NO Escelation mode in multiplayer, and the character customization is less than WfC! I feel ripped off for paying $60+ for a game that is actually worse than WfC. It seems that High Moon and Activision thought "hey, we can put out a game in mere months without much work. We can just borrow the framework from WfC, put in a short campaign, and let the hype from the upcoming movie do all the advertising for us!"… Expand

    Transformers: Dare of the Moon was an alright game. It definitely had good fight scenes and the online can be enjoyable. The problems with the game is the campaign is only 4 hours and it isnt the best video game ive ever played. I would give this game a high rental.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a disappointing follow-up release from High Moon Studios. While the developers attempted to take their winning formula and make it appealing to casual gamers, they only succeeded in watering the entire experience down â

    This game was made to understand that in a hurry, because its short almost erases its positives, which are the opotunidade to control various tranformers, and varied gameplay.

    The best way to describe this game is: a watered down version of War for Cybertron, a much better game. The gameplay is identical to that game, except has some annoying handling issues. The level design is poor, the visuals are dull, and the story is weak and forgettable. The game also feels very rushed. So don't buy this game.

Get War For Cybertron or the even better Fall of Cybertron instead.… Expand

    The best of the transformers movie tie in video-games by far! That unfortunately isn't saying a lot though.

    "Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
    You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
    Remember all the sadness and frustration
    And let it go, let it go"

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon may suffer from some derivative level design, and its introduction of the cool Stealth Force form does have some repetitive gameplay consequences. But kudos to the developers for injecting something new into the formula.

    It seems like the developer ran out of the time before they could iterate upon last year's Transformers: War for Cybertron. This game winds up being a product of significantly lesser quality than it predecessor.

    While I know that this is a movie tie-in, I had high hopes for Dark of the Moon because of War for Cybertron. At the end of the day, Dark of the Moon feels unpolished with room to grow.
