Where I am, it's 20 past midnight on Tuesday, June 22. The only thing I have to do now is sleep and work. When I get home, it'll be in my mailbox. I can't wait 'till I clock out.

I actually lost sleep last night thinking about playing this game. A friend of mine works at Gamestop. He said the game is like playing the cartoons.

I'm gonna try to pick it up on my lunch break, so I don't have to make a stop after work. I want to play this ASAP.

It's a big install and it takes a long time to load. I don't know why.

Actually, this was the game that topped out my hard drive and made me delete stuff.

I pre-ordered it yesterday, they said they'd call when the product arrives, but they haven't called. So I have to play the waiting game until I get the call.

Man I hate the waiting game.

Called Gamestop, they have it, I'm going to pick it up in the next hour or so.

If you never hear from me again on this site, well, you know why.

Kotaku gave it a solid review.

Can't say I'm surprised though. After playing it for a few minutes at Best Buy last night, I could tell this game would be excellent. Everything just felt right.

Just picked up the PS3 version of the game from Best Buy. I went on the official site to activate the 16-digit Jazz code and it gave me a 12-digit code. I'm kind of lost since there are no instructions on the email I recieved on where to input this new code. Can anyone help me out?

IGN has also given it a review, grading it 9.0 out of 10.

IGN wrote:I've never been as consistently interrupted while playing a game at the office as I was while playing through High Moon's Transformers: War for Cybertron. I would put on headphones and play for ten or fifteen minutes, and I would suddenly feel a tingle in that weird lizard-brain proximity sense we've all got that says "someone is in my personal space bubble." I'd turn around and see another IGN editor standing behind my shoulder, staring at me with pleading eyes, and I always knew what they were going to ask before they asked it: "is it good?" It's the look of someone afraid of getting their hopes up.

Which is why I was happy to report to those asking that Transformers: War for Cybertron is actually very good. Fantastic, even. High Moon has taken a fun, fast, third person shooter foundation, crafted a well thought out transformation mechanic on top of it, and designed combat situations around that. The end result is a shooter that has an identity all its own, and leverages its license to make something very cool for fans and newcomers alike.

For some reason the 12 digit codes are to be redeemed at http://www.transformersgame.com/redemption

Yes, this should have been made more clear by somebody out there. Maybe the TF fansites will put that info out there so others aren't confused.

BTW, xbox gamers... I could use some TF fans on my friend's list. gamertag = JeBr0nie (with a zero, not an "o")

Picked up the last copy for 360 at the Best Buy by work. The anticipation of playing this is intense!

Glad to see good reviews!

I saw it at Wal-Mart for the PC. But the packaging says you need a keyboard and mouse and says nothing about the xbox controller for Windows.

If I have to use the keyboard and mouse, I will not be buying it. I cannot use that control setup no matter how many times I try. I just absolutely cannot get it.

Can anyone with a PC confirm whether or not the controller will for for the PC version?

I love this game!!! SO WORTH BUYING! The campaign is perfect. Pacing, character development, voicing, weapon play, skill balancing, difficulty settings, colors, EVERYTHING is so very spot on. I'm so glad High Moon took the time and put forth the effort they did with this game. :APPLAUSE:
