One of the best games of all time and probably the best Transformers game you could play! The campaign mode allows you to play as different characters that all feel satisfying to play as, and has an engaging and intense story that shows the impact the war has had on Cybertron. Play this as soon as you can!
I've played a couple of Transformers games before this one and haven't been very impressed. It came as a bit of a surprise then that this game is pretty good. Part of the Cybertron series, along with War for Cybertron released a few years earlier, Fall of Cybertron tell the story of.... Well actually I'm not really sure. I'm not a Transformers fan and basically had no idea what was going on in the story. It seemed cool though. The game is a 3rd person shooter, a bit Gears of War esque, with some fun driving sections. It's a fairly short campaign, but its done really well. It has that Micheal Bay action movie style feel, with each section feeling like a really nicely set up action sequence. There are some great set pieces, explosions and effects. It's just the type of silly action fun that you would want from a transformers game. What I enjoyed most was the enemy and weapon variety. Even thought the levels were fairly linear, this variety kept me interested with each weapon feeling unique and useful. It also has a decent level of polish that I didn't expect. Of course it's no Halo or Gears, but it's really well made and feels like a AAA title. The music and sound effects, the great visuals, solid controls and nicely set up tutorial and campaign. Apparently the multiplayer was also excellent back in the day too. A nice little surprise package and a short campaign which I enjoyed quite a bit, a great one to have in the collection.
We peaked as a society when this game hit up the local gamestop. Where do I even begin. The campaign was amazing with all of its shots and scenery as well as its story being very interesting with a great conclusion. The gunplay is way better than the first game and the game’s art direction was also an upgrade. This was my game ever growing up and I still feel like that to this very fucking day.
While FoC is still an average TPS like the first game, they did add a lot more gameplay verity which made it more enjoyable to play. This time you can upgrade your weapons, buy perks, and have a little more control over what weapons you want to use. They took out grenades though, which I really dislike, but made better special ability verity. I enjoyed playing as the larger Transformers too, which have slightly different gameplay mechanics. The story and music are fantastic as well.
This game improves on everything the first game set out to do and still holds up as an excellent 360-era third person shooter. You don't need to play the first one to play this one either. Still looks great since there's no human characters to date the game's visuals. Great for fans of Transformers and for fans of Xbox 360-style linear cinematic action games. Makes you really feel like you're Megatron/Starscream/Optimus Prime/Grimlock/etc.
