It's fine...there's a few neat things you can do in this game but it's a bit buggy and it's obviously rushed. Each faction generally had similar missions, but they atleast had some few unique ones to vary the gameplay a little.

The gameplay itself was ok, its very clunky and alot of the debris gets in the way when you're trying to kill bots. It's extremely annoying especially in car mode, you will constantly be derailed by police or any other form of debris everywhere you go during the missing and you will fail it multiple times. The driving itself is perfectly aceptable and its incorporated into the game quite decently.
Combat is also very clunky, guns do absolutely nothing to opposing bots as they will completely block them. So you really just mash a bunch until you kill something, because debris is everywhere as well. They atleast introduce different kinds of enemies but they are frustrating to kill especially in smaller spaces where you can't run outside the misson areas where the game wants you to stay in.

Autobot story ark was pretty easy, only failed a couple of times due to what I said prior. The car chase with jazz was probably the best part of the whole thing, the megatron boss fight was just disappointing.

The decepticon story ark was alot more enjoyable, since you're allowed to destroy buildings for the mission, as well as have moments of flying in vehicle mode for most of it. The amount of enjoyability was pretty consistent throughout. And the optimus fight was slightly more interesting

I have a few nitpicks that I would like to add as well, the game seems pretty rushed. There's moments where ironhides design completely changes in the cutscenes and ingame. Also megatron gets a line that isn't voiced by frank welker instead its voiced by some intern and I thought that was a bit funny. Not sure why thats in the game. The g1 cosmetics are also a nice touch.

Overall this game gets a 5.2/10, not perfect at all it's very frustrating with it's mechanics, and the cutscenes don't really tell a story that well. But its not all bad either. I cannot say I recommend this game to any fans of the movies unless you want to fight bots in cybertron.
