Played through the co-op 3-man online campaign on Easy. Transformers: WfC was a fun shooter with some really interesting levels and a strong thematic element. I wouldn’t have picked up WfC and played it myself if it weren’t for a certain Transformers-obsessed co-worker of mine.

I’m glad I played this game. While the action is sometimes a bit too frenetic, the boss battles a bit too punishing, and the art style a bit too overwhelming, it’s a decent shooter and it was a lot of fun to play with friends.

The aerial levels were especially satisfying and the game simply invites moments where a player can transform from a charging vehicle into robot form whilst hitting an enemy with their melee weapon. This feels incredibly good. Also, space slugs: ridiculous but fun.

It’s the kind of game that I don’t anticipate picking up and playing again, but have no regrets about playing through once. I’m sure a true Transformers fan would get a lot more out of it than me, but I would encourage any shooter fan with a few friends to check this out as well.
