    I haven't played what i consider to be a decent game since the Ps2 all those years ago.

    I foolishly went out and bought Revenge of The Fallen & 3 minutes into it all i wanted to do was put my head through the walls. Repeatedly.

    Honestly, the only good thing about this was getting the same VAs of the guys from WfC and FoC.

    The bit where you're that Insecticon meant to act as Shockwave's bodyguard.....did Shockwave forget that he can fly?

    Reached "Primus Mode", which pretty much ends the game for me if I don't get any others interested in playing the online game with me. It is the last level to reach, and stops accumulating points or levels... making it less fun to play (to chase levels)... and also makes gear-boxes even more redundant, as the multipliers are now worthless, leaving only TECH and Hacks as the only things you still use up (but by the time you get to Primus mode, you'll have each maxed out to 99, which won't run out any time soon).

    I think the campaign shouldn't have counted to points/levels, as it made it way too quick to earn just by doing the campaign... but was probably a compromise to not having Multi-player games this time (which counted in previous games). You only need to reach first Prime mode to get all the trophies, which I think you'll get just from the campaign. (especially if you redo bits to secure trophies, which racks up more points in the process)

    I still have two maps to try out, and try to find ways to complete them like Broken Hope and Remnant... but might go back to finishing off some of the earlier TFs games instead soon.
    It is really satisfying to complete all the trophies in a game, particularly if it is a property (like Transformers) that interests me, but I think having it paired with the Movie Universe has put people off it, and tainted the WFC/Aligned universe in the process.

    Now I wonder who we can petition to get the next chapter to be what the epilogue teased us with (Gen1).

    Saw this in store today for $15 so came here for the reviews. Not really convinced either way and I've got two other PS3 games I've not started so might just leave this one behind.

    Its awful mate, dont bother. I had such high hopes for this game, as I love WFC and FoC. It was my 1st Xbox One game and I finished it and returned it within a week, thank goodness Diablo 3 was out around the same time.

    For $15 it might be worth picking up to play the Cybertron based levels - only so many games out there where you get to play as Shockwave and Bruticus
