Platinum Games' take on Transformers is an interesting and welcome change of pace for the property. The developer's brand of polished, fast-paced, flowing combat feels right at home in the Transformers universe.

Concept: A stylish action game in the vein of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry set in the Transformers: Generations universe Graphics: The fantastic art design is a nod to the classic ‘80s show, but it sometimes lacks the crispness of high definition Sound: Close your eyes and you might think you're...

When Transformers: Devastation was officially revealed during E3 this year , it practically came out of nowhere, with little expectation. Perhaps after the poor showing of the previous Transformers title; Rise of the Dark Spark , Activision wanted to play it safe with their next outing.
