Delivering extensive control, gamers can select from the largest, most diverse range of playable Transformers ever – each with distinct personalities, abilities and weaponry – and jump straight into action as they instantly switch between robot, vehicle and weapon modes to fight for the preservation or annihilation of all mankind. In addition, for the first time in the Transformers universe, players can also fight the epic war between Autobots and Decepticons online in explosive multiplayer combat.

The Story
Set a few years after the defeat of Megatron in the first game/movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen reveals that the threat from the Decepticons is in fact, far from ended. Since the time of the epic and apparently not so final battle between the two Transformer leaders, Decepticons have started popping up again all over Earth in alarming numbers. And now, a mysterious object from space seems destined to shift the balance of power and give the upper hand to the Decepticons.

Mission-centric Gameplay
Unlike Activision's Transformers: The Game, released along side the original movie back in 2007, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen relies less on open-world gameplay and more on structured, but varied mission play. The variety in these missions comes from the fact that players can align themselves with either the Autobots or Decepticons, and that the available missions both parallel the events of the movie, as well as events unique to the game. During these missions players will be able to play as a variety of different Transformers from either side of the conflict, and with success in mission play will be able to unlock additional Transformers and earn points used to upgrade your selected faction. Playable characters include on the Autobot side: Optimus Prime, Iron Hide, Breakaway, Bumblebee, and Ratchet; and from the Decepticon side: Starscream, Sideways (a new character), Grindor, Long Haul, and Megatron. Additional Transformer types will be available in multiplayer modes. The game features a simple control toggle that not only allows for quick switching between mech, vehicle and weapon forms, but also allows for a more easy learning curve of the acrobatic moves from the movie.

Key Features

• The Choice is Yours – Players can step into the shoes of their favourite Autobots and Decepticons such as Optimus Prime, Starscream, Bumblebee and Ironhide, along with new characters making their first appearance in a game. With two distinct campaigns that allow gamers to save or destroy the human race, gamers will unlock missions and be able to play them in any order they desire and with different characters for a whole new experience.
• Outmanoeuvre Your Opponents – Instantaneously convert from a colossal robot to a dynamic land or air vehicle such as a diesel truck, sports car, military chopper or fighter jet. New, ultra-fluid transformations can be performed in-motion anytime and anywhere, allowing players to strategically propel through and decimate hordes of enemies with incredible agility.
• Take the Battle Online with Friends – For the first time ever in the Transformers universe, gamers can engage in full multiplayer action, taking the epic war between the Autobots and Decepticons online to play with friends in a multitude of competitive game modes as they utilise their characters' unique weapons and abilities to lead their teams to victory.
• Demolish Your Enemies – Each Transformer can unleash a unique array of assaults on its enemies ranging from powerful missile attacks and rapid-fire chain guns to explosive energy blasts and visceral melee strikes, allowing players to pick from a variety of weapons and moves in their character's arsenal that deliver diverse gameplay in every brutal encounter.
• Intense, Heroic Missions – Every second is precious as players drive, fly, fight and blast their way through gripping, pulse-pounding levels straight from the film and beyond to determine the ultimate fate of the world.

Multiplayer Options
One of the major improvements of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen over any previous Transformers releases is its extensive multiplayer options, both locally and online, co-op and versus. These modes include standard head-to-head/team options such as Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, but also unique modes like 'One Shall Stand' where players must take out the opposing leader, 'Control Points' where teams struggle to control specific map points at specific times, and 'Battle for the Shards' which is a 'capture the flag' variant tasking teams to collect and hold all the pieces of the destroyed Allspark from the 2007 film.

Customer Reviews

Better than I expected but still very poor.
I purchased this game due to me wanting a game and nothing else out looking like I might like it, knowing how bad the first Transformers game is I was wary but thought why not, can only be better.

I have now completed it on both Autobots and Decepticons, which is why it gets 3 stars as I did push on and complete the game, twice. Frankly I think 2 would be a better score but I am a Transformers fan so that got it an extra star.

I will start with the positives first.

Graphics are good, the control system is slick after you get used to it and the training section is very thorough covering all the basics well. So when you do get into the real game missions you are comfortable with the controls.

Large amount of unlockables, including old cartoon episodes, which I did enjoy watching I have to admit, bit of nostalgia there.

and......um.... i'll see if I can come back to this.

Negatives.

It's not a long game. In both the Autobot and Decepticons game there are 14 "areas" you unlock that stick mostly to the film, some creative license obviously. Each area will have 2 or 3 missions. This seems like a lot but sadly missions do not take longer than 3-5 minutes which is just not very long.

It's very easy. During the Autobot game I died 2 times for the whole playthrough and Decepticons only once, hardly a challenge.

Repetitive. The missions you will have range from killing all remaining bots in the area, fixing or destroying radars (dependant on being Autobots or Decepticons) transporting safely or kidnapping someone destroying or protecting a building, and also kill one of the movies well know bots, such as Long Haul or Bumblebee. But thats not a lot of variety for 30 odd missionsa throughout the game, especially when you consider that ignoring the "boss" bots you will only come up against 3 maybe 4 varieties of enemies, some of which can be killed in one hit. Just gets very repetitive.

For a movie based tie in there is no in game film clips at all, which seems a bit odd, not even the odd clip, not a massive gripe, just seemed odd.

I know none of these negatives are that major really, but it isn't a 5 star game. I would strongly advise renting this game for a week completing it then it goes back as this game has no replay value whatsoever, there is the incentive to get better medals for doing the missions faster but the reward is so minimal you won't bother.

Now I love the Transformers films so don't also think this review is because I am not a fan, I just think the game was rushed a bit, not much real depth to it but if you rent it for a week you will get all this game has to give, enjoy it but you won't be sad to see the game go back to the shop.

Hope this review helps.

More than meets the eye!
People generally expect disappointment from movie games, and usually rightly so. But seriously - Revenge Of The Fallen is a BRILLIANT game.

Replacing the free-roaming style of the first game, this is split into different missions. This never feels restrictive - you unlock new missions as you progress, and are free to choose between them at will (as well as choosing between Autobot and Decepticon storylines - each with different missions). You can also play as different Transformers in each mission (although you have to unlock this), adding different elements of driving or flight.

Online multiplayer has also been added. While obviously not as busy as the likes of COD and GOW, there are a few different modes to play, and it's great fun.

The control scheme is different too. It might take a bit of getting used to, but once you've nailed it, you should LOVE it. Transforming is a lot more fun and can be done midair or in the middle of certain attacks.

The presentation is great - good graphics and nice voiceovers. There are a lot of unlockables too, like art galleries, new characters/skins for multiplayer and even full episodes of the original series to watch.

It's VERY different to the game of the first movie. Don't be put off by any disappointment from #1 - this is probably one of the best games you'll play this year, and one of the best movie games ever!

AMAZING!!
THIS GAME IS GREAT for adults and children, all my family like it. ignore the comments that say it is rubbish and they completed it quickly, they completed it quickly because they play it 24/7. SO BUY THIS GAME YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU DONT! :)Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - The Game (Xbox 360)
