Fall of Cybertron

[brr-icy]

Thoughts? I finished the campaign today (12 hrs of play without finding everything) pretty decent, some death and real darkness to the story, really enjoyed it Space T-rex is awesome to play as, tried one round of escalation, not sure about it yet, seems ok though

I beat it as well.

I only have one major issue with it and the rest is minor nitpicks. The good stuff first.

The story was grand and great, I especially loved the last bit. The interaction amongst characters was really neat as well. Cliff and Jazz make a fun duo,etc.

There's so many homages, I couldn't get over how amazing they were. Multiplayer is still fun and addictive and the surprise decepticon Tank character made me quite happy in escalation.

My big issue in the game is the bloody sound. Sometimes the characters would sound super muffled. Sometimes the music is too high and I can't hear the characters at all, even with the music lowered within the in game options. Sometimes the lip sync would get all screwed up as well.

Now the minor stuff. I really don't understand why they gave some of their characters new colour palettes? Did Warpath need the extra gold detailing? Why's Jetfire mostly red now?

I also miss some of the multiplayer modes and I'm pretty disappointed that there's a ton of characters that you don't get a chance to play with in single player such as Perceptor. Day 1 dlc is pretty ridiculous too, especially considering Blastoff's model is already in the game as well as Perceptor's.

Here's the odd thing. Shockwave had his g1 voice in WFC, I'm really kind of curious as to why they changed it. It's still a really good voice for him and it's really quite good but I was really confused when I first heard him.

but all those nitpicks aside, the game really is phenomenal.

tried out escalation in depth yesterday, the four maps are pretty fun, i just wish wave 15 wasn't the end, kinda hurts replay when you beat them (we beat 2/4 of them) but still have to beat them on hard. i think they should add more maps in the dlc though

I loved the game, beat it in 7hrs (noon to just after 7pm). My only complaint is that it felt short. Not so much that the levels were short as I actually enjoyed the length of each players levels but I didn't expect to beat the game as quick as I did.
That said. I really did enjoy the game. Controls were pretty good and making different bots do different things helped gameplay feel less generic. Grimlock was fun to play as.
Haven't tried Multiplayer yet but I plan to when I have time.

loving it so far as i knew i would. but thinking back to the war for cybertron. each faction had about 10 levels didnt they?

cant remember off the top of my head but this one has what 12 lvls total?

really sucks they made it a lot shorter, but its still a great game so far.

Haven't picked it up yet. $60 is a bit much for 7-10 hours gameplay. Another thing that bothers me that seems to be more and more common these days is announcing dlc for a game that was released a day ago. It's like gaming companys are shortning games and making you buy "extra content" that should have been included in the game.

5 per faction in wfc, so it's a bit longer, maybe an hour or two. i think i'll be able to get about 30 or so hours from the campaign if not more getting all the trophies and audio files.

I'm taking my time with the game, beating a level per day. I easily spend 1.5-2 hrs for each (I just beat Chapter 4), exploring all there is to see.

I think Vain summed it up pretty well.

Also, Perceptor in the game was played by Jim Ward, who was the narrator in Defense Grid: The Awakening. I didn't realize it until I started using the Artillery ability and Perceptor said something like, "I believe the scientific term for that is 'pulverized'!". It was kinda trippy. Especially since the objective of Optimus's levels is to activate giant guns to destroy other giant guns, and you can call in artillery strikes. It's kind of like Defense Grid, only from the ground.

it was really awesome. but i think that shockwave's voice was a little off. atleast they could use some other voice than the narrator's voice !
