Pretty much what I expected,

= Fun: This review is from: Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Video Game)
I knew what I was in for when I bought this game because it was a movie game. It's a game that is not finished and lacking depth in terms of modes and campaign length. However, I also knew that this is a game by the team that made Transformers War for Cybertron. So I knew I would get, solid gameplay mechanics and a multiplayer that was hectic and fun. This game is basically a mod of Transformers WFC. There are some changes made to the multiplayer such as unique abilities as well as unique guns for each character. There are also powerups scattered throughout the maps which adds depth to the gameplay. Besides the fact the multiplayer is lacking in some areas such as not enough characters or map packs(hopefully free dlc), I really enjoyed it.
If you liked Transformers WFC then I would recommend this game. Just don't expect a sequel to WFC, just think of it as a spinoff.
Pros
+ Unique Characters for online play
+ Unique Weapons for each character
+ No...Read more

This review is from: Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Video Game)
the game is very fun and the controls are exactly the same as war for cybertron which is overall a better choice than dark of the moon. My main complaint is how short the game is : 7 missions which on easy or medium should take 5-6 hours to complete the game. All of the achievements are easy to get besides two. don't worry about spoilers because it is a prequel and takes place days from the movie's events. The multiplayer is good but the autobots are overpowered because of warpath bumblebee and ironhide. I can't say you should pick it up immediately because of how short the game is but, you have to rent it you will most likely beat it while renting it.

Transformers: Dark of the High Moon Studios,

High Moon Studios' War for Cybertron was probably the best Transformers game ever made. It's only real competition for the title was the PS2 Transformers based on the Armada series. If you took everything special about War for Cybertron and stripped it down to its basic gameplay mechanics, you'd have Dark of the Moon.
High Moon Studios decided to use an element of play that really bugged me about the control in Revenge of the Fallen. Namely, the need to hold down a trigger button to stay in one of your modes. Since they added a "stealth force" mode, that is now your default transformation from robot mode. To transform to a vehicle, you have to keep the left trigger held down. But wait, there's more. To steer, you use the RIGHT analog stick, WHILE holding down the left trigger. To boost, you hold down the right bumper, and to use your e-brake, you hold down the right trigger button. Don't worry too much, because you'll spend most of your time in stealth mode...Read more
