Based on the Michael Bay series of films, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a
prequel to the movie of the same name. Unlike many videogame adaptations of
blockbuster films, this Transformers game manages to shine on its own as an
enjoyable action game with the same action and adrenaline seen in the bombastic
Michael Bay movies.


MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Transformers: Dark of the Moon could’ve gone the easy way and adapted the
movie’s plot into the game, but developers High Moon Studios went the extra mile
to deliver a unique experience for fans of the Transformers franchise.



The game takes place before the events of the third Transformers film. Unlike
the first two games, this time there’s only one campaign mode that alternates
between the Autobots and Decepticons. Narratively speaking, this provides
players with a greater understanding of the game’s overall plot, and it’s also a
great way to connect with the characters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Transformers game without transforming robots, and
Dark of the Moon has got you covered there. Not only will players be able to
pilot giant robots and their vehicle forms, but there’s also a new Stealth Force
mode that takes the best of both worlds. Now, you’ll be able to blaze through
the levels with an armed vehicle, enjoying the game’s many adrenaline-filled set
pieces.


A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD

Dark of the Moon uses the Unreal Engine, and that can be a blessing and a curse.
While games like Gears of War and Bulletstorm have shown that the engine is
capable of gorgeous graphics, there’s something about the controls that just
isn’t quite there yet, especially when it comes to driving vehicles.

Driving in Dark of the Moon feels clunky and laggy, and that’s terrible in a
game where you have to spend half the time controlling a car robot. Luckily, the
pure driving sections are few and far between, and the robot controls are fast
and responsive.


ONE FOR THE FANS

The story of Dark of the Moon is arguably better than that of its film
counterpart. The plot takes Bumblebee and his allies from Central America to the
city of Detroit. The varied settings let the Unreal Engine shine, delivering
beautifully rendered environments for your Transformers to destroy.

There’s little exploration to be had, which makes these environments feel a bit
shallow. That said, there are also few collectibles, meaning that Dark of the
Moon is a decidedly linear experience.


ROLL OUT THE MULTIPLAYER

Aside from the game’s campaign, there are also a few multiplayer modes to enjoy
in Dark of the Moon, and these modes are unexpectedly complex. The multiplayer
consists of Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Conquest modes, each of them
featuring a class-based system similar to the Star Wars: Battlefront series.

Depending on your faction, the class you choose will determine which Transformer
you get. Players have to choose between the Hunter, Commander, Scout, and
Warrior classes, each one with a distinct role on the battlefield.



Transformers: Dark of the Moon achieves more than your standard movie tie-in
game, but it still falls prey to the stigma of such games. An interesting but
shallow campaign just isn’t enough to justify a second playthrough, that is if
the repetitive objectives can keep your attention the first time you play the
game.

6

All that said, Dark of the Moon is still one of the best Transformer movie games
out there, especially its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. Definitely give
the game a try if you’re a die-hard fan of the franchise.

Pros:

 * Exciting gameplay
 * Solid performance and well-rendered characters
 * Interesting plot for fans of the series

Cons:

 * Iffy driving controls
 * Lackluster campaign
 * Lifeless environments

GAME REVIEWS

The Transformers series is now in playable form thanks to Transformers Dark of
the Moon, based on the blockbuster movie! Containing just as much action and
chaos as the films, Transformers Dark of the Moon puts you behind the wheel of
dozens of iconic characters. At a moment's notice, you can switch between your
vehicle form or transform into a towering robot, utilizing all of the weapons at
your disposal. With two story campaigns and multiplayer modes to test your
skills, Transformers Dark of the Moon has more than meets the eye!


MAIN GAME FEATURES

 * Intense third-person shooting
 * Battle in both vehicle and robot forms
 * Non-linear story mode and multiplayer


STORY

Transformers Dark of the Moon is a follow-up to the previous game, Transformers:
Revenge of the Fallen, and takes place three years afterwards. Having failed to
stop the Decepticon's plans, the Earth is now continuously destroyed by an
ongoing war. The noble Transformer, Optimus Prime, leads his army of Autobots
against the Decepticons, looking to root out their operations and remove them
from the planet. However, Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, begins to
formulate a plan known as Operation: Pillar. While Operation: Pillar promises to
revitalize the Transformer homeworld of Cybertron, it will destroy the Earth to
do so.

In the same way that games like Resident Evil 2 break up their story with
multiple viewpoints, Transformers Dark of the Moon does the same. Instead of
playing through one complete story mode, this game features two separate faction
stories: The Autobots and Decepticons. Together, the factions tell the overall
story, but you get to play on both sides of the feud. This tale of two rivaling
robot factions spread across the globe, taking players to the jungles of South
America, cities in the United States, and even outer space!


GAMEPLAY

It doesn't matter if you are playing the single player story campaigns or
battling in multiplayer, Transformers Dark of the Moon provides some awesome
explosive action. There are over a dozen different Transformers to play as, each
with a distinct vehicle form and robot form. That means you can tear through
enemies in Optimus Prime's semi-truck, or blast down enemies with heavy
third-person shooting. A new feature, called Stealth Force, lets you use two
special abilities depending on your form. These abilities include grenade
tosses, increased boost, extra defense, and much more. In each level, you'll
mostly be destroying other Transformers as you fight your way to the end, but
there are some vehicle sections to race through too.

Transformers Dark of the Moon also contains multiplayer arena matches, where you
can battle your friends or AI-controlled enemies. There are five maps to choose
from with different themes, such as the fiery Volcano Road, or the industrial
Scrapyard. Unfortunately, the mode selections are pretty slim, with only Team
Deathmatch, Free-for-All Deathmatch, and Conquest modes available. It's still
lots of fun to speed around the arena and blast your foes into bits, but the
minimal amount of modes and maps can become boring after a while.


CONCLUSION

Transformers Dark of the Moon is a serviceable game that brings the crazy action
of the Transformers movies directly to your gaming console. The story campaigns
are brief and will only take you a few hours to beat, but it's fun to see the
war on Earth from both sides.

7

Multiplayer is also exciting at first, but the fun wears out after several
sessions. If you have seen the movies or like the sound of exploding robots, try
out Transformers Dark of the Moon!

Pros

 * Swapping between vehicle and weapon is cool
 * Autobot and Decepticon story modes
 * Decent graphics and voice acting

Cons

 * Multiplayer mode feels rushed
 * Campaigns are short
 * Vehicles have floaty controls
