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

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

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

While Platinum delivers their traditionally excellent gameplay here, the stench of corporate meddling and the common constraints of a licensed game remain and do make themselves known. There are two levels.

Roll out.

Platinum in disguise.

Fantastic looking; Superb signature Platinum combat; Full of fan service

Some scenery glitches; Forgettable music; Way too short

Platinum is to be praised for filling such a relatively small container with so many ideas. Nevertheless, for some it may not be quite enough. The story mode can be finished in a few hours and, unless you head back in as a different character, or at one of the other two difficulty levels, you will...

I'd have to go back to the PS2 days to find a 'Transformers' game that was as faithful and fun as 'Transformers: Devastation,' and I think 'Devastation' has the edge in both categories.

It is not blood but energon that flows through my veins! I am a Transformers fan! And this is the game fans of the robots in disguise wanted for thirty years! From opening scene to the final battle, Transformers Devastation delivers quality gameplay, impressive graphics and a rocking metal track...

When Activision sprung the surprise announcement for Transformers Devastation at my E3 meeting for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, I was beyond elated. It has everything I could possibly ask for in a Transformers game: cel-shaded look of 1980s Transformers, original voice actors, and game development and...

Beautiful cel-shaded graphics; plenty of 1980s whimsy; fun combat; and the return of the (mostly) original voice acting crew from the beloved cartoon set up for a delightful Transformers game experience

Repeated boss fights; repeated environments; lack of combat depth; collectibles without that great of a purpose; and lack of expected difficulty tear down the game's potential to be that delightful Transformers game experience
