Yes.

Just.. Yes.

A very good video game representation of the G1 Transformers. The single player campaign has a strong plot which plays out a bitter war between the Autobots and Decepticons during the final moments of the planet Cybertron.

Game primarily playes like a 3rd person corridor shooter. Game was executed very well so the weapon and movement controls feel really good. Animations were well done and the robot to vehicle transitions look really good. The single player campaign will take roughly 10 hours or so on regular difficulty and consists of 15 chapters. The player does not get to choose which Transformer character they play through the game with the campaign regularly featuring a different character between chapters. Characters will switch between Autobot and Decepticon depending on which part of the story the player is currently playing and the game appears to feature equal time between the two factions. Difficulty on normal settings was neither too easy or difficult, but there were times that were a good challenge. Fortunately the checkpoint system was done well enough that you will not have to redo too much after defeats.

Many of the fan favorite characters are featured as playable or ally, and the inclusion of others like Metroplex, the Combaticons, Insecticons and the Dinobots were very welcome. Both the voice acting and the soundtrack were extremely well done. This helped create a good feeling of chemistry between the characters and sets the tone of the game.

The game does have a multiplayer feature which I have tried only briefly. It is cool to create a customized Transformer to do battle against or with other players. I understand that cheating does happen quite regularly but I am hopeful that this will not hurt the experience too badly. I will review this feature further as I play it more.

I had a lot of fun with this game and highly recommend it to those who are G1 Transformer fans.

Szóval...Transformers:Fall of Cybertron egy történet mesélésben kimagasló,iszonyatosan lineáris külső nézetes lövölde.És az alatt hogy nagyon lineáris,azt értem hogy a játék sehol sem ad szabad kezet,a játékban megakadni vagy eltévedni lehetetlen ugyanis minden az utolsó szálig az arcunkba van nyomva(Még ha a játék felénél is tartasz,és már számtalanszor váltottál formát,a játék még mindig nagy betűkkel adagolja beléd hogy ,,Press xy to change forms´´).
Ott viszont kijavítanám magam hogy megakadni nem lehet,ugyanis ez nem teljesen igaz...van pár olyan pont a játékban,amikor az ellenfelek már-már igazságtalanul sokan vannak,és az összes egyszerre szeretné elnáspángolni a fém hátsónkat.Ezeken a pontokon készüljünk fel,hogy párszor találkozni fogunk a Restart from last checkpoint gombbal még kisebb nehézségi szinten is.

A story sajnálatos módon nem a leghosszabb,de ezt kompenzálja a story saját maga,és az elmesélése.A játék közben sokszor érezheted azt hogy nem is egy játékkal játszol,hanem egy interaktív mesefilmet nézel-És apropó...ha modern Transformers történetet keresel,akkor állj,ne tovább!Azt nem ebben a játékban fogod megtalálni.Ez a játék a régi,eredeti Transformersre épít!

A zene viszont 11/10...le a kalappal a készítőknek!A muzsika mindig az adott szituációhoz megfelelő,mindig alkalmazkodik a legepikusabb pillanatoktól kezdve a legmegszorongatóbb helyzetekig.Sokszor kaptam saját magam azon hogy elbambulvla ülök a gép előtt és a főmenü zenéjét hallgatom.

A játék rendelkezik multiplayer résszel is,ami egy kis ideig akár szórakoztató is lehet,de lássuk be,ez csak egy bónusz,ez a játék nem a tőbbjátékos részéért készült+ez a részleg nem a legaktívabb,kicsikét kihalt.

A játékot az eléggé busás ára miatt nem ajánlom évkőzben megvenni,inkább várjunk a nyári vagy karácsonyi akciókra,és akkor reális áron beszerezhetjük.

Ősszesítve a játék talán 8,5/10-a játékmenet lineáris és rővid,de érdekes és szórakoztató,a zene eszméletlen,és a hangulat is kiváló---Ahogy az előbb is említettem,a játékot csak ajánlani tudom,ha Transformers fan vagy akkor végképp,csak várjunk meg egy akciót...Megéri várni ;)

You got the touch!You got the power!

Én mint egy nagy Transformers rajongó nagyon vártam ezt a játékot és mit mondjak, SZUPER LETT! A történet körűlbelűl ott folytatódik ahol a War for Cybertron véget ért. A kampányban elsőnek csak az zavart hogy nincs benne coop mint az előzőben, de utána rájöttem hogy ide nem is kell mert itt minden jól jön ki egyedül is. A túlélő mód tetszik (itt már 15 hullám után vége).
A multiplayerrel csak egy gond van, cheaterek, komolyan nem hiszem, hogy ezt is ilyennel kell elrontani. Activision ez ellen nem tesz semmit. Összességében nagyon jó lett minden. :)

Cybertron In Extremis


From the developers of the frenetic Transformers: War for Cybertron, comes the new critically acclaimed sequel in this third-person action franchise. Despite the majority of movie licensed transformer games being mediocre and even the movies themselves, High Moon Studios strives to revive from the many faults in previous instalments with innovative gameplay and engross players in a compelling story that fans of the series will immediately recognise from the get-go. While the game sounds promising, and lives up to the hype, there is much more than meets the eye here that only scratches a bit off the game’s fine paint job.


Fall of Cybertron’s quality and devotion to story-telling, visuals, and production is impressively revamped following its predecessor. While the setting is still within the atmosphere of a war-torn Cybertron that players may be familiar with, it offers a unique variation of the other various environments that have never been explored before. Following the events of the previous game, Fall of Cybertron, as the title suggests, is set during the last days of a fierce and protracted battle which has consequently drained the planet’s supply of energon, a raw energy that the transformers are dependent on. Coming to the realisation that Cybertron can no longer be inhabited, Optimus Prime and the Autobots accumulate what little energon is left to fuel the Ark, a ship that will take them across the galaxy in an attempt to seek refuge and usable energy to survive. The chorological order of the missions keeps players intrigued in the story. The first chapter will have you set in during the last and then play significant events leading up to the conclusion. The story being expressed in this way is very effective because if you were to replay the first chapter after the completing the campaign, you will have an understanding of what drove the transformers to the final showdown. You will play as various members of the Autobots and the Decepticons which are all suited to the environments they are in based on what type of vehicle they transform into and the unique ability that they can use. Any fan from the Generation 1 or Michael Bay series will have a high sense of nostalgia hearing the voice of the prominent Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime once again. Voice acting overall is on point whether it’s one liners coming from fellow NPCs or Optimus Prime’s narration. What adds to the authenticity that reminds players that they are fighting on one side of the war, is the option to converse with other transformers and even at times assist them in completing miscellaneous activities. There are also quick time events that engages players during the more emotional sequences. What may not seem authentic to some players however is the easter eggs which cannot be disabled but they do encourage going back to different stages for extra replay value which is a good thing. These are relatively well hidden so you probably won’t see a lever turn into a transformer until your second playthrough. At any time, you can have a primary and heavy weapon which can be utilised by any transformer and there is a good variation from weapons that fire remote detonated globules to an electro-diffraction beam that when fired, can chain kill enemies in proximity of where the beam is directed. You can also rate these weapons according to how useful they are for you which is recorded so that others can see the community ratings for them. This is something that isn’t seen much of in games, but it’s a great way to find out what personal loadout is best for you. Considering that co-op campaign was an option in the previous game that was more popular than the multiplayer itself, I had concerns that the developers had taken a wrong turn. The fact that you could play as different transformers for each chapter really increased my replay value in the previous instalment although I have finish this game 3 times already to obtain the collectibles throughout the campaign. Whether this game would have been better with or without co-op is hard to say, although, because the plot has been designed for each transformer's side of the story to be individualised, it may have had an impact on the story along with its dark and gloomy vibe that the game establishes. Despite the exclusion of this feature, escalation is a mode that allows players to play with friends against hordes of enemies.


Escalation is a wave mode that has you play from a selection of transformers including exclusive ones that would not otherwise be present in the campaign. The maps in this mode are inspired by the environments found in the campaign. It offers challenge and a test of your abilities to effectively communicate with the other players and your individual performance. This is more so important in the multiplayer which has taken a turn for the better.


Multiplayer makes a return with a little more to offer. A feature that stands out is the freedom of building your own transformer completely from scratch and being able to play it in-game. There are several game modes to choose from including conquest and capture the flag but at the time of this review, you will most likely only get the chance to play team deathmatch since there is such a small player base. There are four classes to choose from, which determine what weapons you can have and what you can transform into. However, these are noticeably imbalanced which encourages players to only choose specific classes. There is also frequent lag which is to be expected for a 5-year-old game which has a handful of online players in-game daily. But this also negatively contributes to the imbalance classes, as choosing weapons that have a high fire rate (which only some classes have) means there is less chance of losing a gun fight whilst experiencing connection issues compared to semi-automatic weapons like the riot cannon, which shoots significantly slower and allows players to easily maneuver out of the line of fire. The classes did feel more balanced on enclosed maps which makes it easier to defeat enemies no matter what class you use.


What’s a really important aspect to this game across all modes, is that it’s main focus is gameplay and the ability to do something that you would not otherwise be able to do in most games: transform. Its apparent that all levels have been built from scratch to ensure transforming has a purpose and at times, is mandatory.


While the game is still worth purchasing at its current price $50 USD, I would suggest purchasing while it’s on sale especially if you are considering purchasing the DLC add-ons as well.


If you have never played a transformers game, you’re probably going to like this game. On the other hand, if you’re a fan, you’ll definitely enjoy this near-masterpiece that will keep you captivated for quite some time. There are plenty memorable moments to be had across all game modes, and it takes the liberty of giving players the nostalgic feel of the G1 series and at the same time, doing what it does best as a third person action shooter which the game is intended to be. No doubt will there be more transformer games pumped out in the future, but could there be one that unleashes its full potential to be become the ultimate transformers game, or is it right in front of us? There is a sequel to this game called Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark which I’ve played on the PlayStation 4 but unfortunately did not live up to my expectations after the ingeniousness of Fall of Cybertron. I think it’s safe to say though that from the quality of presentation and gameplay and the minor flaws in these areas and online, this is and will be the best game in the series at least for a while.

9.5/10

Computer specifications and internet connection can influence your gaming experience. You can visit my steam profile to see my personal specs that were used to review this game.

Definitely THE best roller-coaster type shooter I've played in a long time. Surprisingly decent story (for the source material) told through linear, yet varied campaign that actually takes way more than 5 hours to complete. Really fun gameplay mechanics, not only thanks to robot transformations, but also unique character abilities and mission pacing. Top-notch voice-acting, music and graphics.
Truth be told, I think I was playing the single player campaign with a non-stop grin on my face. Most fun I've had in years.

Also, Michael Bay should watch and learn how to make a good Transformers re-imagining.

Very soon once haters start realizing this system was put up, the reviews will be filled with negative ones. Before that happens, let me drop my opinion here. It's a great game at it's heart, it has an interesting storyline that makes you want to play through each chapter. The main feature here is it's brilliant multiplayer mode. Now you've probably heard of the hackers in this game, and yes, it's true. However the game has a thriving community which will guide you into friendly, hacker-free matches. Is it worth $60 though? No, I can not say this. However it would be worth it at any other price, so when the next sale hits, go for it!

Set amongst the burning ruins of a dying planet, ‘Transformers: Fall of Cybertron’ is an exhilarating, at times truly spectacular, Third-Person Action RPG - and is very simply, the single best gaming interpretation of the iconic Transformers franchise.

Campaign: Released in 2012 by High Moon Studios | Activision, ‘T:FOC’ is the second entry in the Transformers trilogy and is clearly the series’ high water mark - The opening credits thrust you into the midst of a massive space battle over the destroyed planet of Cybertron, besieged by Decepticon Battle-Cruisers, and front row to the ultimate stand-off between Decepticon supremo, Megatron, and Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. The game then flashes-back 6 days, and drops you in to play through the final few days of the conflict and events leading up to that historic last stand. An engaging story-fueled campaign takes you across a lovingly-crafted, richly atmospheric Transformers universe, putting you in control of popular characters (from both Autobot and Decepticon factions) such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, Cliff-Jumper, Jazz, Grimlock and more.

Gameplay | Graphics | Sound: From a technical standpoint, gameplay is a pretty standard Third Person RPG | Shooter | Racer (for the Transformation bits). While there is nothing groundbreaking here, there are several elements that do elevate this title – 1. Unlike other RPG’s where you control one main character throughout, here each of the campaign’s 13 chapters is framed through the viewpoint of a different Transformer allowing the gamer to control many beloved characters each with their own weapon systems, unique transformation, special abilities etc, providing some great overall variety - 2. The game’s pacing is also well constructed with third-person Shooting sections broken up through Stealth, Platforming and Vehicular missions, and intermittent set piece elements that are truly epic in both size and scale. – and finally, 3. A good number of collectibles, upgradable weapons, multiple endings and ultimately, the sheer glee of controlling some legendary characters builds great replayability into this title. Sound Design is also particularly noteworthy, with a grand operatic score accompanied by voice-actors from the original TV-series reprising key roles as Optimus and Megatron. Great graphics, well optimized K&M controls, an ‘Escalation | Survival’ mode, and a highly customizable Multiplayer experience round out a well polished title.

Flaws: For all it does well however, one cannot escape the glaring fact that gameplay is rather restrictively linear. Further, an uneven Multiplayer experience (of dropped connections, hacks and exploits, exclusion of the popular Co-op option) in addition to an unseemingly high pricetag of $60 for a 3-yr old title (Note: Steam Sale Price at $15), mar the overall package.

Overall, ‘Transformers: Fall of Cybertron’ is a fantastic interpretation of a beloved franchise – and although a pretty average RPG on a technical level - its grand cinematic campaign, breathtaking scale, phenomenal sound design, cast of iconic characters and high replayability, elevate the game to something more than the sum of its parts. This is an ode to the Transformers universe made by fans, for fans – and this is as close to ‘Prime’ as you will ever get – Highly Recommended! (Rated 9/10)

If you loved War For Cybertron, you will love this one even more. Everything about this game is better than the first. You get better graphics, better gameplay, and the story is just awesome. It's a short game and I completed it on normal in about 6-7 hours. Some people miss the co-op campaign but I think it was removed for the better. Each character now has a special set of challenges that wouldn't have been possible with co-op. You really do get more diverse gameplay.

There are some features removed from War for Cybertron. Double jump no longer possible for some reason. Every transformer has the dash ability and sprint. There is a new feature that's a great idea, I feel. The teletraan 1 store appears in Campaign and Escalation mode. Basically, you have access to most of the weapons in the game, right off the bat. There are weapons that require you to find blueprints throughout the campaign. Once you find them, you can buy them with in-game coins. There are some weapon limitations. You can only have 1 standard weapon paired up with 1 support weapon at one time. Do you want to carry 2 rocket launcher type weapons at once? Not possible. This limitation might prove annoying to some, but I felt it created balance and I never felt the need for more than was given to me.

The multi-player mode is vastly improved and all the maps are fun. They are not too big but big enough to offer a challenging landscape. With endless customization everyone can have their own unique look.

All in all, this is an awesome game and High Moon did the Transformers community proud. It's got special touches that many older fans will appreciate. I highly recommend this game.

Despite Activision being the publisher of this game, it actually exudes quality all around if your a fan of transforms buy this, if you like robots buy this, if you like 3rd person shooters with solid shooting mechanics buy this, if you like solid single player campaigns buy this, if you like multiplayer deathmatch buy this and most of all if you dislike everything michael bay has done to the transformers movies buy this
