- Whether you are a Transformers fan, or just a fan of wildly fun games, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron shouldn’t disappoint you. For the Transformers fan, Fall of Cybertron is a celebration of the source material. It hits on so many different levels that other games haven’t even attempted. There’s an obvious love for the source material from the team at High Moon that shines brightly through the seedy world of licensed video game properties.
William Schwartz · Sep 09, 2012 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - After playing Transformers: Fall of Cybertron only one word comes to mind: functional. It’s sad that a game with as many narrative hooks and the look of the generation one Transformers is so prone to technical issues and some bizarre design choices. It makes the whole package a wash when compared to its counterparts in the third person shooter genre.
Vivas Kaul · Sep 05, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If you've got a fondness for Hasbro's brand, High Moon Studios does not disappoint. If you played with a Transformer as a child and haven't revisited your inner 8-year-old in a few years, Fall of Cybertron will more than suffice. The latest title in the franchise won't disappoint and will provide plenty of childish, stupid fun, but it's not about to set the robotic world on fire.
Daniel Bischoff · Sep 04, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - The Fall of Cybertron isn’t without its issues, but it’s filled with great moments and enthralling experiences worthy of any Transformer fan and anyone wanting to explore the origins of the Transformers. Believe me, after first seeing the Wikipedia-like experience from the Transformer movies, the Fall of Cybertron brought me around and inspired me to research the true lore to the series.
Timothy Nunes · Sep 04, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - The entirety of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is given a boost in that way, though it's hardly a crime when it results in such an energetic licensed game. There's a significant chunk of ho-hum in here (oh, look, it's the hulking enemy with a weakpoint on its back!), but there's also a sense of honesty once you clear the game's faux-flash first half, and that translates to fun if you approach it with a matching mindset.
Ludwig Kietzmann · Aug 31, 2012 Reviewed on X360 - Aside from some minor technical problems, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a great game. The reason it is great is not despite its connection to the long-running toy line, but because of it. It’s great because it embraces the same idea that made Transformers popular back in 1984 and has kept them popular ever since: It changes.
sambarsanti · Aug 30, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Transformers: Fall of Cybertron covers a lot of ground, carefully and faithfully translating a venerated franchise into videogame form while never making series newcomers feel anything less than involved. The love High Moon Studios has for Transformers shines through at every available moment, and no one who's ever held a beloved action figure or toy in their hands will be able to miss it.
Mike Kayatta · Aug 28, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Transformers: Fall of Cybertron doesn't come close to recapturing the magic of fighting Autobots and Decepticons in the bedrooms and playgrounds of our youths, but High Moon Studios has created something that allows us to fondly recall those bygone times.
Martin Gaston · Aug 28, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a solid action experience with a few issues that hold it back from greatness. The story campaign entertains and the multiplayer modes entice you to come back after the credits roll, but the out-of-place melee segments, polish issues, and dropped features from the first game make it fall short.
Lorenzo Veloria · Aug 27, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - The craziest part about Fall of Cybertron is that I’m appreciating it not out of some overly indulgent childhood nostalgia but rather for what it’s doing right now. It’s been way too long since the Transformers property has been this good but High Moon’s take on the universe is shaping up to be the modernized reboot the franchise desperately needs.
