Bottom Line
An awesome time for the Transformers fans. |
"Though I wasn't a fan of the Transformers going up, I could listen to Peter Cullen read from an accounting exam. So it's great to hear him in the Revenge of the Fallen game, a pretty competent title that lets you play as some of the more popular Transformers. With a little tightening, "competent" could become "great." The problem with Revenge of the Fallen is that you have to hold the right trigger in order to transform into a vehicle, and then you immediately starting zooming around everywhere in a manner that can be really difficult to control. However, it does lead to some sweet maneuvers where your robot leaps up, converts and then does a kickass attack. There is also a nice selection of environments to fight in, characters stats and progression and campaign choices to make, starting with whether you want to be an Autobot or a Decepticon. Transformers fans will also like the extras, which includes whole episodes of the cartoon. Definitely an improvement over the last Transformers movie tie-in."
