Transformers: Devastation review – Bayonetta in?disguise

The best Transformers game so far but, more importantly, a hugely entertaining and original action game that is one of the most uniquely entertaining releases of the year.

The action is well up to Platinum's usual standards, with some great boss battles and missions, that really make the most out of the transformation gimmick; Great visuals and presentation

The melee combat doesn't have quite the variety of Bayonetta et al; and the upgrade system for weapons and abilities is convoluted and unsatisfying

Transformers Devastation

This is Bayonetta dressed up in robot clothes, which is a Very Good Thing. Brilliantly playable, and full of Transformers fan-service, only its brevity and simplistic level design let it down.

Looks and sounds like the 1980s cartoon; Superb; AAA-feeling combat; Grimlock; the transforming robot dinosaur

Disappointingly basic level design; Only about 5 hours long; Requires little variation in technique to succeed

Fanw*nk of the highest order :-D

If you remember the 1980's G1 cartoon as fondly as I do then there is something here for you; it's also great fun and can be quite challenging which was a nice surprise :-D
