Vortex works for everyone’s favourite also-ran, Starscream. This became apparent with my second Transformer, Vortex of the Decepticons. In fact, freedom is one of the hallmarks of the game. There are plenty of crates and chest-high instrument panels for cover combat but if you’d rather play with an aggressive kamikaze style, that option is available too. He needs his robot form to pick up rocket launchers and other heavy weapons from the loot lockers that can be found on each level.īlasting Decepticons with big guns and arm-mounted target-locking cannons is incredibly satisfying. Most Transformers can switch between vehicle and robot forms whenever they like but Bumblebee’s bug-like car has no weapons, so is no good in a close battle. You’ll need his wheel-boosted dash to jump across the larger chasms in a Cybertron that’s crumbling around you.

Playing Bumblebee, you’ll run and slide your way down enclosed routes as if you’re a giant robot wearing Heelys, which is… basically what you are, yes. His section is very much the familiar corridor shooter. Optimus Prime needs help in his battle with Decepticon ruler Megatron (no surprises there) and Bumblebee leads the charge. You start out with Bumblebee in the tutorial. I played three levels of the game, covering three different styles of Transformer. Cybertron is falling (spoilers!) and Optimus Prime needs to lead his Autobots off the planet to somewhere safe. This sequel to 2010’s War for Cybertron follows directly after the original game. Giant robots! Big guns! Epic confrontations! GRIMLOCK! Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will be everything you’ve dreamed of in a Transformers game.
