Introduction:
The least we can say is that the Transformers license is far from being a success in the videogame realm far. It must indeed go back to 2004 to find a PS2 as credible, which is inconceivable for a franchise that has rocked the child in their thirties today.

Contrary to what was feared, the game does not drag a bunt and a leg. Technically, it is very strong with a realization that not n’écorche eyes. The comparison with Gears of War is inevitable, even if the textures are less convincing than the title of Epic Games . For cons, the explosions multiply the screen, lighting effects too, and the modeling of different actors has been the subject of special care.

The War:
In terms of gameplay, it will be possible to compose a team of three before each mission, and if the other two characters were controlled by the AI during the presentation of the game, Jason Addis said the player could, once online, be supported by two other players. Good point. Naturally, each robot will have features which will own, which gives a strategic aspect Transformers: War For Cybertron , especially during confrontations. It will then organize to clean the area as efficiently, juggling with the transformations that are activated by pressing the left analog stick, and that can be run at any time during the game.

To encourage the player to fight, it will be possible to recover ammunition from the carcass of defeated enemies, to rebuild their health, picking the famous Health cubes, but also to switch weapons in transit. On the other hand, the player will rely on special attacks like the War Cry of Optimus Prime, which will result in increased damage to enemies and reduce damage. Also in the camp of the Autobots, Ratchet is able to heal teammates in case of an attack, a valuable aid for those wishing to attack the game in "Hard".
