    Considering that it was developed by High Moon, which also developed War for Cybertron, I had high expectations of this game. It has not proved me wrong, everything I enjoyed in WfC I found just as compelling in DotM. The control scheme and game mechanics were all familiar to me. I can understand how some people dislike how this game is almost identical to WfC and expected extra content.Considering that it was developed by High Moon, which also developed War for Cybertron, I had high expectations of this game.

However, judging from the reviews of previously disastrous Transformers games, I'm not surprised why High Moon decided to keep everything the way it was.… Expand

    A great movie tie-in game because it sets up what happens in the movie. The game play is smooth like War For Cybertron. And the visuals... the game is gorgeous! The best Transformers movie game ever made, period.

    I wouldn't call it innovative by any means...but what game is? even one with a larger budget and marketing...Gameplay is decent and graphics are good...I do enjoy the mulitplayer maps and playing as a different transformer is fun...I find myself anticipating the next level to see how the next robot plays...

    This game can be considered the movie's opposite. The action is constant, the humans get little screen time here, the plot is intriguing, the decepticons have a bigger role, and it's shorter than the usual game. But it's a good game for WfC fans, so try it out!

    Clearly, you need to be a major Trans Fan who loves all forms of TF media (Loved the classic cartoon, animes, comics, and even the movies) to appreciate this. And as one of 'em, I truly enjoyed the game as much as War for Cybertron even as the latter is the best of 'em.

    The game is fun from start to finish, the only problem i have is that the game was very short a few more levels would of been grand. The same can be said for the multi player more levels and customization would of be great also another flaw levelling was way to fast i go to level 20 within 2 hours but like the single player its alot of fun. Worth a rent or buy it when its below 20 quidThe game is fun from start to finish, the only problem i have is that the game was very short a few more levels would of been grand.

    While I was expecting this to be another cheap cash grab, it actually turns out to be a different game of its own. It has a good storyline which is a prequel to the transformers dark of the moon movie. The multiplayer is decent, but it isn't as good as the story.

    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.
