    If you liked Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron you will LOVE this game, The EArth levels (only a few of them have normal graphics, but thise game shines when you're on cybertron, those levels are beautiful, the banter between the autobots and the decepticons is excellent

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They copy and pasted the game mechanics of the FoC and WfC games onto this creation. Due to the similarities I thought it would be like those games, I quickly discovered that I was wrong. This is a masterpiece of game creation, surpassing that of Fall of Cybertron with ease. When Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were first introduced to accompany my character, Bumblebee expressed his excitement to be in battle by vibrating all of his limbs uncontrollably and spasing out on the ground.

    The developer switch didn't really help the franchise: bad graphics, bad gameplay and frustrating. Its only good feature is the Escalation online co-op mode.

    Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is awash in so much borrowed content, so many poorly executed examples of copy-and-paste design from its predecessors, that I can't help but wonder what happened. My best guess? A lack of time. Regardless, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a colossal failure, serving only as a reminder of how much better its predecessors were.
