Given the exponential gain in the playability of these Transformers matches from 1 generation to another, the next installment in the blockbuster movie-video-game variation has been the very highly anticipated launch nonetheless. Oddly enough, it was really the only game in the series not tied into the storyline of the film in any way, diverging in the pops of the Transformers on Earth, into the travails of the first home world of Cybertron (only in case the name did not tip you off).
Fans and critics alike were largely awed by the huge mechanical structures which spanned the planet Cybertronitself, and also the series-consistent growth in graphics capability. We see Earth at War for Cybertron, also given the repetitive nature of the surroundings in both Transformers: The Sport and Revenge of the Fallen, possibly that is a fantastic thing.
You may either begin with this Decepticon effort, which will be based on a brand new, dark supply of Energon found from the persistent Megatron, and also the powers and skills that it wields; or, start as a Autobot that is, of course, a reply to the Decepticon menace.
As in its predecessors, there's a premium on the capacity of the Transformers to change fluidly from robot into alt-mode; War for Cybertron requires it superbly further: there are in fact levels dependent on the capability of the Transformers to change!
The multiplayer style went up a notch from Revenge of the Fallen, in which it had been so superior as to become among the prior game's few redeeming qualities. There's the extra feature of creating your own Transformer entirely from scratch, which might be a sport all unto itself. When coupled with all the surreal graphics, audio effects, and match controller - they even got this right now - War for Cybertron easily makes the other matches obsolete, and functions as a reminder of just how far they have come.
Actually, they made it better than this; War for Cybertron might be the best match of this year. When there was one terrible thing about War for Cybertron, it is the game probably represents the burning twilight of this video-game adaptation; it is not very likely to have better than that. I would put up this game against Dark Ops and Gears of War daily. It'd lose; nevertheless still.
