Amazon.com: Customer reviews: TRANSFORMERS FALL OF CYBERTRON PS3 EN PEGI

I really enjoyed playing this game. I got it about a year ago on amazon.Shocked to see that the price right now is 60 dollars. I got it for 24.99. Some frame rate issues and it froze my PS3 several times, especially on the last level,literally!

Uno dei migliori giochi della serie

Il gioco è come nella versione italiana parlato in inglese e sottotitoli e menu in italiano.
Secondo me è il miglior gioco della saga Transformers perchè è ricco di azione e suspance nonchè ha molti colpi di scena, degno di un film.
Possibilità di impersonare sia gli Autobot che i Desepticon, è presente il multiplayer online classico e una modalità sopravvivenza online da giocare con altri tre amici.
Grafica buona e dettagliata, ambienti distruttibili.
La storia narra l'abbandono di Cybertron da parte degli Autobot.
Consigliato per tutti.

One of the greatest games produced

I had stumbled upon this game once before I had actually purchased, not really liking the look of it. But later on I decided to try it out, being such a huge Transformers fan and all. Boy, was I mad not to buy it the first time I came across it! This is an incredible game, I am stunned at how great it turned out to be. The overall gameplay/graphics/quality is second to-none. Each character is unique in their own special way, alternate personalities, special classes of weapons (which are all fantastic) and so much more! I have played online on numerous occasions, in different modes such as - Team Deathmatch, Escalation & Conquest, all great in their own way. There is so much to do in this! I even replayed some parts of the story I loved it that much! If you haven't already did so, get yourself a copy! Especially if you're a die-hard Transformers fan, the controls for this are also very straightforward, basic and easy to understand, which, in my opinion, is vital for every game I play. I hope this review has convinced you.

great game, perfect tribute to g1 transformers

This game is surprisingly good for Activision. The graphics are great, the gameplay is solid (particularly the incredible smoothness of aerial manoeuvrability), the story is great and the online mode is also really fun to play. Best of all though is that this game is a fantastic tribute to the G1 Transformers that made the series what it is. The original design concepts for all the transformers are here and they look fantastic in modern graphics, especially during the cutscenes. Even the voices sound incredibly similar if not the same in some cases. The game gives a real sense of nostalgia for me having been a fan of Transformers since the very first series all those years ago. It's a surprisingly great testament to transformers, something that Michael Bay and his terrible films seems unable to fulfil.

Amazing return to G1 Transformers

I was a little put off at first when I heard there wasn't going to be a co-op campaign option but this game didn't disappoint at all. The story and pace is excellent and you get to see and play with so many characters that I loved when watching the old Generation 1 series. It is just wonderful to see the transformers you love and a story that shows respect to the transformers instead of the failures Michael Bay calls Transformers. The character design, story and choice of characters are far superior to Michael Bay's movies. If only someone would turn war and fall of cybertron into movies we would really be entertained and the transformers would actually play more of a part in the story than just being loud destructive sidekicks to the human characters.

The campaign was very good, but way too short. Now dont get my wrong i enjoyed every second of 9-10 hours i took for me to complete it. It was exiting and challenging, oh and the controls were pretty good too.

I really like that you change character so often, but sometimes it can be annoying too. I mean some of the characters, you play for like 3-6 minutes. Like Soundwave, Starscream, Swoop and Jetfire.

You also saw alot of the previous Autobots and Decepticons from "War for Cybertron" (Even though you didnt actually play of many them) like Air Raid, Silverbolt, Warpath, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Trypticon and Brawl. It annoyed me a little that the variation of the difficulty was not that good as the previous non-movie-based game.

But overall, its a great game and with the price that low her on Amazon.co.uk, you foolish not to play this.

Fall of Cybertron just "Fell Short"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

As a die-hard Transformers fan, who loved the War For Cybertron to pieces, I highly anticipated this games release. A lot of hype was raised the closer the game came to release; it truly seemed like it would be an epic sequel. The hype however was just that and nothing more; excitement on top of excitement, which was nothing like the game itself.
The game didn't just fall short of my expectations; the game itself was short.

-Gameplay-

THE GOOD

The gameplay on Fall of Cybertron (also called FoC) has vastly improved on that of its predecessor, War for Cybertron (WfC).
You are now able to switch your aiming hand by pressing a button, allowing you to take cover anywhere and still shoot without hitting the wall or cornering yourself to be shot to pieces.
Weapons and skills have also changed. As an example; the old 'unique class ability' alongside the individual characters ability format from WfC is now gone. All characters in the story have their own special ability still, but the other button that would be for the class ability is swapped with a nice 'sprint/dash' option.
Carrying two regular weapons and fighting for one big gun that you can hardly move with is also gone, now you have one regular weapon and one 'heavy weapon' that you can find or purchase with Spark Shards you find in the game.
Transformations are the same, with the exception to the Dinobots. Instead of having freedom to transform anytime as a Dinobot, you instead have it assigned as your primary skill, and need to find Rage Shards to fill up the transformation ability. (It's annoyingly slow at times, but well worth it.)

THE BAD

There are areas of gameplay where you need to move to a certain location and press a specific button to open a door or interact with a character, all adding to the 'cinematic' feel of the game, but the interactions from the player are pointless. You cannot decide wether to smash the doors down or wether to rip them apart, you cannot decide wether to accept the help from an NPC or find your own way to reach them. It feels more like 'filler play' than anything worth while, and if anything I find it rather tedious and annoying with how repetitive it can get.

-Story-

THE GOOD

FoC's story is a direct connection to the end of WfC, and introduces both old characters from WfC and characters we all remember from the G1 series that never had an appearance in WfC as both NPC's and PC's.
NPC's fit into the story nicely, with some even being intractable while you wait for a door to open or the next stage of the story to begin (such as Soundwave being able to pet Lazerbeak, or Optimus being able to hear opinions from his soldiers about the war.)
There are many references to a lot of the continuities as well. Quotes and scenarios from G1 and the original G1 Movie are fun little hints that old fans of the series will immediately pick up on. Once I saw the Triceratops Dinobot 'Slug' crush Kickback with a door as he entered the scene, even stopping to say "excuse me", reminded me of his entrance in the G1 Movie of an exact same fashion. Witty dialogue and tongue-in-cheek jokes to old fans of the series such as myself are what we enjoyed in WfC, and I was not disappointed with it this time around either.

THE BAD

The story of FoC compared to WfC is terribly short. I was able to complete the entire game on Hard mode in less than 6 hours, as NPC enemies were far easier to kill and no longer came out of hiding spots in hordes like they did in WfC.
Unlike WfC where you had to be careful going around every corner; FoC allows you to rush behind a block and kill all the enemies within a few seconds since there are not many of them and they don't stay behind cover even when they have a very good spot to hide behind.
The contrast between Autobot and Decepticon levels is also disappointing. As a loyal Decepticon fan, I enjoyed playing WfC's equal-in-length Decepticon story. But in FoC the Decepticon levels are very, very short; and on one occasion, a level I thought would be an epic Starscream rebellion stage, wound up being a short and rather pathetic introduction to the Dinobots story and gameplay stage that happened to have you opening an entrance as Starscream.

-Multiplayer-

THE GOOD

High customisation of your character in multiplayer is fun and a huge improvement on WfC's 'recolour of -name here-' idea. You can also have any faction chassis you want in both Autobot and Decepticon, mix matching autobot parts and decepticon parts if you like.
The new multiplayer games are also fun and challenging, though all the old ones we had fun with in WfC are still there (just tweaked a bit for better performance.)

THE BAD

For Regular Multiplayer: Some of the classes are overpowered still, and you can die within a few seconds of spawning if you don't happen to have a good internet connection like everyone else may have. This can get very frustrating.
For Escalation: Unlike WfC where if the host of a game quits you'd all lose your progress, in FoC you have Host Migration. This can kill the momentum of gameplay and sometimes you may be migrated to a host that has a terrible connection, causing lag spikes and a difficult time to shoot enemies.
Characters are also heavily restricted in Escalation, and this is one of my biggest 'pet peeves' of the game. You can only choose from FOUR characters per level. That's right, only FOUR. People always end up fighting over the character for their class or favourite characters (good luck trying to get to play as Starscream or Optimus Prime, people go for them first.)
The session also FINISHES after wave 15. It doesn't continue to wave 30 like it did in WfC, and getting to wave 15 is very easy (especially if you play with people you didn't fight over characters with.) I even managed to reach wave 15 on my own just using the Ammo Beacon Class.
ALSO: the Co-op story mode is GONE. That mode was what kept the game so re-playable in WfC. I found that without co-op story mode, I didn't have any desire or need to replay the game.

-Overall Score-

Gameplay: 4 out of 5 (recharging the dinobots transformation caused this to miss 5)
Story: 2 out of 5
Multiplayer: 2 out of 5
Music: 5 out of 5
Dialogue: 4 out of 5 (some characters hardly even spoke)
Re-playability: 1 out of 5 (nothing worth replaying for unless you missed an item)
Over all: 18/30

Fall of Cybertron falls short of the level of expectations I had for it, and although it kept me entertained for half a day, it has not been touched since as there is little to no re-playability at all to it. If you are looking for a Transformers game with lots of fun and excitement that you can enjoy over and over again, go for War for Cybertron instead. Fall of Cybertron is good for a quick play, but nothing more. Let's just hope the third game will be far better, otherwise the Cybertron franchise might just 'Fall' like this game did.
