Transformers Cybertron Decepticons
SCORE: 58
When Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons came in from our
friends over at Activision there was quite a high level excitement at
Family Friendly Gaming. The Nintendo DS has Transformers War for
Cybertron Decepticons, and Transformers War for Cybertron Autobots.
These are similar games with one major distinction - which side you are
playing. Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons is the bad guys, so
you get to play characters like Megatron, and Star Scream. Long distance
attacks, as well as up close melee are used in this hand held robotic
title.
There is a lot of robotic violence in Transformers War for Cybertron
Decepticons. The details of the Transformers disappointed me a little
bit as well. The Nintendo DS can not handle everything Activision was
trying to do with Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons. Getting to
transform into vehicle mode at any point is a neat feature, and I loved
going into vehicle mode.
Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons excels in terms of the audio
department. There is a lot of fantastic voice acting used in this hand
held video game. I can understand all the dialogue in the home console
versions, but to have it in the DS version is quite a treat. The only
down side to it, is we are playing the bad guys in Transformers War for
Cybertron Decepticons, and they are having the player do bad stuff. They
are called bad guys for a reason. They are not building hospitals, and
taking care of orphans.
Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons contains some unlockables
that will interest fans. The main story mode is on the short side, but
was interesting. If you pick up Transformers War for Cybertron
Decepticons, and Transformers War for Cybertron Autobots, and you can
unlock all thirty characters. Two to four players can play one another
with the multi-card mode.
There are aspects of Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons that are
a lot of fun. There are also aspects where I felt like I was trudging
through. I also found some problems while trying to lock on. I was in
boss battles, facing the boss, and it would not lock on. I had to get
close enough. When I got close enough I would take damage. Turning can
be clumsy at times, and certain areas have some frustrating jumps.
Megatron is using dark energon to destroy the Autobots in Transformers
War for Cybertron Decepticons. I can not condone such genocide even
though this is just robots. Families will need to pay attention to the
rating, and violence in Transformers War for Cybertron Decepticons. Also
keep in mind you are playing with bad guys. I would expect better from
the Autobots version.
