4.0 out of 5 stars A nice game, August 8, 2010

A Kid's Review

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Transformers: War for Cybertron Autobots (Video Game)

Transformers War for Cybertron: Autobots is a pretty good game, if hard. This game is different than the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions, but it's still worth playing.

Graphics and Sound:
The music and sound effects for the game are rather average- nothing notable, but nothing bad either. However, the voice acting is superb and a definite plus. The graphics are great for a DS game. The Transformers seem to have better design than those from the previous Transformers DS titles. My rating- ****

Gameplay:
Unlike most video games where you just play levels in a linear fashion, in this game, you select a mission, choose your team, and you're off! Much like Mega Man, different opponents have weaknesses to different attacks. Otherwise, it's really a beat-'em-up game. The only fault with the gameplay is that the save points are too far apart. My rating- ***^ (three-and-a-half out of five stars)

Plot:
I haven't played much of the game, but the plot I've experienced so far is pretty decent. My rating- N/A (Not enough information for accurate rating)

What the Critics Say:
IGN gave the game a 6.5/10 "Passable." It said that it was a good game, but it just needed more work. The critics' score on Gamespot is 6.3/10, whereas the user score is 7.1/10.

Overall, this game is nice, it just seems as if it was rushed. It's still a decent play, though. Overall score- 3.7/5 (7.4/10)

This review is from: Transformers: War for Cybertron Autobots (Video Game)

If you have played Transformers games for the DS, other than War For Cybertron, than you will have noticed certain traits that create a pattern, that pattern is not a very flattering one. They have a tendency to have horrible graphics, a flimsy to non-existent plot, horrific voice acting, and bad gameplay, that usually consists of time trials near impossible to complete, running in circles shooting or hitting the enemy. The games are either so easy its boring or so hard its almost impossible. Usually the impossible comes from vehicle missions. That's other Transformers games. War for Cybertron is the exact opposite. The graphics are decent for a DS game. The gameplay is fun. The voice actors are very good. The plot is great. All I can say is get this game. You can almost never "win" the game. There are many many characters to unlock, play as, level up, play different missions, and try different pairs. There are many missions to get 100% on. And dozens of data disks to unlock. It took me a month to win this game, while switching it out of my DS for it counterpart. Its great. Get it. You will not be disappointed.
