I've never been a fan of Transformers. Will this game appeal to me?

I like Open World, Hack and Slash, and games with good shooting mechanisms.

I'd like to have a taste of whatever you're smoking.
WFC had multiple playable characters in each mission of the campaign, which in turn led to co-op. this doesn't.
WFC had really fun classes in MP, this doesn't. While the scientist and the infiltrator are fun, the Leader is downright terrible. They took away the great abilities like Shockwave, Mines, etc that made the first one stand out.
WFC had really good progression in Escalation. This one doesn't. I remember spending a dozen hours in Escalation, and the one level where you're all flying robots was amazing. This one isn't as epic. I just played Escalation and died in wave 15, only because the weapon and health placement is terrible and the areas aren't as open as WFC.

All in all, its a step back from everything that made WFC great. The only thing this is better is in the scale of the campaign. WFC's campaign was mild in parts and this is way more epic, but this feels like the prequel and WFC seems like a sequel. Nearly everyone I know who loved WFC is disappointed by FoC. It even runs worse than WFC on my PS3

I agree with what you said about the gimped MP classes and Escalation, but the omission of campaign coop can't be held against FoC. This is more of a design choice, and as such, accommodating multiple playable characters in a set-piece/scenario driven environment is all the more challenging. And if you've played through the campaign, then you know that characters like Grimlock can't be accommodated in a coop environment because of how they play.

Strictly from a single-player perspective, FoC's campaign offers greater variety, more imaginative level design, improved enemy A.I., upgradable weapons, and the craziest ride through nostalgia. Judged purely from the view of a fan of the G1 series, this is Transformers heaven. It recreates scenarios that I have longed to experience in a game since the late 80s! The extent to which High Moon Studios has gone to ensure that fan-favorite characters like Grimlock make their way into the game is highly commendable. The game is littered with references every few minutes that would easily put a smile on any ardent G1 fan's face.

WFC's single player campaign had its moments, but it was pretty generic in places. The campaign was lengthier but it also dragged on several occasions, and as a result, felt less engaging. Plus, the single-player friendly A.I was terrible. So, if you didn't have friends to play with, your fellow Autobots or Decepticons would be practically useless. The enemy A.I wasn't worth talking about either.

It even runs worse than WFC on my PS3
Played it on PC, so I wasn't aware of this. Though, generally speaking, most UE3 games don't run as well they should on the PS3.

I mentioned that the campaign is better in scale. Its more epic.
I read the Grimlock article ages ago. I've been following the development of this game ever since it was announced and that makes it worse since I was such a supporter of the first one.
This one is better than WFC in places but as an overall package it doesn't come close. Sorry. Playing escalation and Conquest in this just makes me want to play WFC again, which is never a good sign for a sequel.

Well, I wasn't really speaking about the overall package; just the single-player campaign.

For some reason, I couldn't really get into the multiplayer for either game. Something about it that just didn't click for me. Maybe it's because, as a shooter, it felt like Gears of War, but lacked a cover system.

As for coop, what I really want to see is a separate campaign that is built for cooperative gameplay and involves scenarios that are based on Autobot/Decepticon sub-factions e.g. the Aerialbots, Technobots, Constructicons, Combaticons etc.

^^^ you should give it a try again, at first i was like wth is happening but after 2-3 matches i got in the zone and kept pawning ppl :) its pretty good, my score is actually better than kz in this one :p also try to stick with one class and you would learn how to play with that class better. i say use scout and its cloaking pretty good and the solider and his whirlwind with this big life bar.

Do it on Broken hope. Let the best guy in your team be Air Raid. If no one else picks him, pick him.
Unlock the door to the overshield matrix ASAP. And you can probably do it then. Broken hope is the most open, fun, and abusable map for Escalation 15 IMO

Nolan North continues to pursue his mission to be in every game ever made. Such a recognizable voice at this point, playing Cliffjumper this time around. They even gave him on of those trademark Drake leaps of faith

[h=1]Dinobots Coming to Fall of Cybertron Multiplayer Next Week[/h]


Swoop, Snarl, Slag, and Grimlock will be coming to multiplayer next week in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Or if you just want to use their parts in your custom Transformer, you can do that too.


As mentioned, the other four Dinobots will also be available as fully built models. For character creation fans, the parts will also be available for you to design and build, if for some reason having a giant robot T. Rex wasn't enough for you.

The DLC will be available next week on XBLA September 11th, PSN September 12th, and PC soon after. No word yet on pricing.

Our Take: We're curious to see how a melee tank like Grimlock works on the multiplayer maps, or if they'll be tweaking him at all.

And for the pedants: Yes, we know they changed the name to "Slug" since "Slag" is a derogatory term in some parts of the world. But he'll always be Slag to us.

Computer and Video Games: Dinobot Destructor DLC Pack Announced

DHA KARACHI.
I'm disturbed by the lack of people playing this game. Only 57 posts? Damn.

Played it till about CH IV and so far it is brilliant. Much better then its predecessor. This improves upon the previous in every single conceivable way and I'm having a blast.

9/10 so far.
