Perhaps it is mandated by the publishers that you don’t expose too much of the movie’s story in the game, but this leaves the game with a skeleton story that is not worth telling.
You are told what is happening through a voice over, but there is no exposition in the story and it seems to be missing some chunks.
Unfortunately, this is a movie-based game, so the story is pretty bare. There are separate campaigns for the Autobots and Decepticons and the stories are interwoven nicely, unlike some games playable from multiple perspectives. Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen has you playing through the latest movie. This may not be quite the definitive Transformers game that I hope for one day, but it was a decent enough attempt. So when a chance comes around to play a game starring my favorite robots, I can’t pass it up. While living overseas, I would watch recorded episodes of the old series, and I have seen the animated movie upwards of 30 or 40 times. Nothing is more connected to my childhood than Transformers.
