I think the game is ok, clearly it is geared up for online players rather than for across the board, but anyway I give it 7/10.

A few gripes:

I felt the missions were on occassion too long and drawn out and too linear.

Not much in the way of character selection.

Not enough flying missions or missions which involved good uses of vehicle mode.

Lack of cover system

Pants AI

Lack of Offline hoarde mode/or similar (for people not connected to the net)

All in all it is a good game but now I have completed it there's nothing else for me to do so it's back to Red Dead for me and WFC will end up gathering dust.

So I'm not entirley finished with the campaigns yet, but from what I've played so far and from the multiplayer beta....this game is fantastic. This will be the game to pull The Transformers name out of the muck in the video game world. As always it is not perfect, I hate that they only give you very bright colors for the autobots and very dismal colors for the decepticons. I see where they are coming with this but the next game take that crap out and give us a little more freedom with customization. Other than that it's really just some very very minor glitches I have noticed. To wrap it up I love this game...and I will be playing on the 360 all the time ( gamertag PanzerBatallion) and every fan of Transformers should pick this game up either for the 360 or PS3.

I've tried 2 accounts and after it sends an email to confirm my account, I try to login and it just says Login failed. Very frustrating...one of the reasons I pre-ordered was for Shockwave.

I was able to get mine with no problems.

The graphics are better than the previous NDS Transformers games. Music...meh. Peter Cullen's voice is classic, of course. While Bumblebee sounds a bit like Ichigo from "Bleach".

I would be interested in knowing just how different the story-lines are from console to console. Even if not can always go to Transformers: Exodus whenever it gets here from Amazon to catch the full story.

Only downside: What happened to any sort of Wi-fi gaming with this thing???

That's because the bumblebee's voice actor is the same voice actor that did Ichigo's voice in Bleach.

I bought it for the PS3 and I have to say it's even better then what I thoguht it would be.I do find the escalation mode to be alittle tough once to make it past wave 6 or 7 but all in all I have it a 10 out of 10

Or, as he's better known: Johnny Yong Bosch, who played Adam Park, the second Black Ranger on the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, MMPR The Movie, and the Turbo movie.

It's just easier to say he's the second Black Ranger and people will automatically say "Oh yeah, him. I remember now."

An odd choice, if I do say so myself. Is he any good as Bumblebee?

Nope, the cutscenes are supposed to be full-color. It's probably your machine.

Thats what I thought.

come to think of it, I also got an error when I first fired up the game. I don't remember specifically what it was but like Ratman_tf my copy started up fine afterwards.

I picked my copy up for the 360 after work yesterday, and even though I've only played through the entire Decepticon campaign and the first level of the Autobots', this game is totally effing awesome. Combat is fast-paced and challenging (especially with the scarcity of ammo at times), transformation is smooth, the robots are slick, voice acting is great, and that's just campaign! I haven't even gone into multiplayer yet!

I have some minor annoyances, of course, but they don't detract any from the overall playability. Firstly, the selection of chassis in multiplayer seems a bit scarce (Autobots need more tanks!). Perhaps we'll get some future DLC with additional mutliplayer chassis?

Secondly, I'm kinda miffed about the color choices when customizing your TFs in multiplayer: Autobots are limited to blue, red, green, orange, and yellow (all of them very bright), while Decepticons have faded colors like grey, purple, light blue & green. Now, my beef comes primarly from the fact that since I play HMW, I was excited to take my 'Bots from there and put them in WFC. Sadly, I can't get them exactly the way I wanted, but I'll adapt.

Again, those are relatively minor inconveniences admist a sea of awesomeness. Fans of shooters and TFs alike will enjoy this. One of my favorite games of all time!

Ok, so you all have listed the good parts quite well.

…and the game IS good, especially the single player mode (though the multi is no slouch either). I would rate it at around 8.5/10

That being said, here are my complaints about the game:

Seriously, why? That was a very big install, why are we checking the data EVERY time I load the game?

Onward:

Single Player:
-Occasionally, enemies can be seen, but don’t exist. Meaning, you can target and shoot at them, but the shots will have no effect because you haven’t loaded them yet.
-Loading breaks. Drive too fast? Stop to load. Run into a room with a speech cue? Stop to load. Why?
-Megatron is insane. Ok, I was under the impression that it might be possible to sympathize with Megatron’s purpose here. No, he’s insane. Big Brother-esq rants over loud speaker about the joy of giving up free-will? Seems like maybe Hasbro required that the sympathy factor get turned down for the villain.
-Trypticon battle Part 2…Now, this is only a complaint because of how AWESOME the Omega Supreme battle was. By comparison, the Trypticon battle is shallow and frustrating.

Multi-Player
-Oh boy…I can’t invite people into private rooms for games that aren’t on my friends list??? What the hell?
-“Match is full or does not exist.” ::calls friend playing game:: “You have people in your game? No?” ::FFFFFFFFFFFF::
-Decepticon colors…they’re Easter Colors + Black and Gray.  Sad Panda.
-Disconnects…I don’t know what’s up, probably first day jitters. Let’s resolve that.
