If you're like me and grew up in the 80s on the original Transformers cartoons, then you owe it to yourself to buy this game. It is complete, and total fan-service from the first minute of play. None of this Michael Bay stuff here. This is Transformers the way it is supposed to be. All is not perfect though as the game has 2 issues. The first is repeating environments. You see the same city and sewers over and over with little change. The second issue with the game is the camera. Its not horrible, but at times it can swing around so you can't see what your shooting at, or where your driving. Other then that, my only other gripe would be for a few more Autobots to play as. A minor issue considering everything else though. Plus, there's always room for a sequel if this does well.

I am a child of the 1980s and Transformers was my favorite cartoon as a child. I now consider myself a Transformers fan and I have watched and enjoyed its many incarnations since the 80s Generation 1 cartoon. With that said, this game does a great job of recreating that television program by casting the original voice actors and having the Generation 1 designs. As for the game, it is a fun game. It is a button smasher and it gets the job done. The game does get repetitive at times but it did not annoy me to the point that I decided to stop playing it. The controls, which can be a problem for franchise games, are pretty good. Overall, if you want nostalgia and want to enjoy your free time after work or during the weekend, one cannot go wrong with this game.

If only I could show my mid-80s, video-game playing self what a good TF game could achieve. Man this game is pretty much what I wanted in a Transformers game. Generation one? Check. Cullen and Welker providing voices? Check. Platinum games developing the title? Triple check. This game is a deceptively stripped down love child of Bayonetta and MGS Rising, with a ton of replay opportunity to improve your combat skill. My only gripe is the amount of playable characters. Plus no opportunity to play as the Deceptions hurts. But it's such a well crafted title, so don't miss it.
