I've never been too into shooting games. I tried getting into Halo, with no success, and never had any interest in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. Borderlands, which seems like it has a good sense of humor, appealing graphics, etc., never even grabbed my attention.

I rented this game the other day to basically kill some time. I knew this was a sequel/ based on a couple games that have come out over the last few years that I've heard good things about. So when I started playing it I was disappointed. It doesn't really seem to want to do anything new.

I want to start off by saying that the first two games were some of the best games I have ever played. Rise Of The Dark Spark however was a complete disappointment. The Campaign was lacking and repetitive, the Vehicle mode was clunky and harder to control than the previous, the Escalation mode was a...

The Autobot's are once again fighting against the Decepticons, to not only save their own existence, but also the whole universe (no pressure then). The Autobots will stop at nothing to prevent an ancient Cybertronian artefact known as the Dark Spark which has unimaginable powers falling into the...

Peter Cullen once again lends his voice as Optimus Prime; Escalation provides some tension that the campaign can't provide; Good variety of weapons

Seems a backward step to Fall of Cybertron; Muggy; brown last gen like visuals; Interest in storyline was quickly lost; Levels soon become repetitive; Needed More Megatron & Grimlock; End boss battle is woeful; Competitive multiplayer has been removed; Clearly an unfinished product

has a few bright spots; the co-op Escalation mode is enjoyable, and there are cool weapons befitting the bots. But the bland campaign is a slog with uneven difficulty, while vehicle transformations and combat are largely unsatisfying. Without nailing that, you've got a bad Transfomers game.

Escalation mode; Gun selection

Unexciting combat; Disappointing vehicles; Unsatisfying rewards

While far from the worst Transformers game, Rise of the Dark Spark's interesting ideas are eclipsed by bland action and frustrating design.

XP and challenge-based rewards are a fun way to progress; Escalation mode is still hugely enjoyable; Smashing Decepticons as Grimlock is fun

Flat pacing; Frustratingly uneven difficulty; Very little gameplay variation

It was good but thought it could of been better

This game is horrible I played it beat it and now the dam thing will not boot. It's a digital download so there is no disc.You pay 59.99 for a game that just goes to a black screen after the title launches and crashes during a multiplayer horde mode .Anything that is edge of reality is pure crap and...

After the two amazing "Cybertron" video games by High Moon, I had high hopes for this installment, which unfortunately turned out to be a rushed and unpolished movie tie-in piece of crap gaming experience.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is the fourth release based on the Transformers film franchise, though the new release is the first game developed by Edge of Reality, who take over for the departed High Moon Studios.
