Can the videogame of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon eclipse the movie?
In fact, aside from the PS2Transformerstitle from Atari, there havent been any real decentTransformersgames at all.
Then, when all looked lost, High Moon studios gave us the surprisingly goodTransformers: War For Cybertron.
Gameplay is pretty standard third-person fare, and the action is as basic as it gets.
As well as their robot forms, each character can also transform, but here its a little different.
One of the games main features is the new Stealth Force mode.
When in this mode your characters armour is more effective, and your smaller profile helps avoid enemy fire.
Theres little difference between each Transformer, at least not for land-based ones, anyway.
The problem is this mode isnt as useful as the developers would have you believe.
I mean, come on.
Thankfully, such sections are short, so youre not forced to endure this mechanic for long.
Up in the sky
Fortunately, some characters are more enjoyable to play than others.
In particular theres Starscream, whose mission is certainly the standout level of the game.
Sometimes the game tries to do something different, but has little success.
The story isnt that long or challenging, and most should plough through it in four or five hours.
In fact, aside from Starscreams section, theres very little here to like.
Shia LaBeouf isnt in it.
That must be worth an extra star.
