Being a Transformer's is nearly every kids dream, and after one good movie and one shit game, and a OK sequel to that game (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) now High Moon Studio's are releasing Transformers: War For Cybertron, And they have released a demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace and from what we played it was fun and better than the other games that have been released.
High Moon Studio's is doing something else other Dev's have missed and not done..... Not doing a movie tie-in game, which is one of the best things they could of done!
The Demo comes with 2 game mode's; Team Deathmatch, Conquest and only 2 Class's to pick from, but before you go into any game you can customize your character class from different weapons to Abilities etc... and more are unlocked as you progress (or the more kills/capture's you get) think Modern Warfare 2/Battlefield;Bad Company 2 and you'll understand what we mean as you earn XP for each Kill/Capture and in doing so you level up unlocking different abilities, weapons, upgrades and there even challenges to complete you can even select Regional/Worldwide for your matchmaking!
These Xp Unlocks can change how you play the game and mode, its just a shame you can only unlock certain things though that might be down to that you can only level up to 'Level 3' but it does get us thinking as to what the full game can offer as we could see so many opportunities for things like "Oh man wish i could be a jet and fly over here and cover my team or wouldn't it be cool if had a shield to block incoming fire while i defend this point" we did have so many moments where we felt like we was in a war against the Decepiticons/Autobots, in short we actually felt like we was a Transformer!
High Moon Studio's is on to something here as the game is fun to play you can tell there's gonna be lot on offer from the full game by just playing the demo, which makes us wonder will the Single player part be as good as we hope it will? As we have never seen how The War started or even much of Cybertron for that matter, we do hope HMS dont mess it all up! well we can say the MP demo was a nice taste of thing's to come, as in some ways it's kind of hard to put into word's some of the moments we had; Like driving at the enemy shooting then transforming and sliding across the floor while still shooting like one of the scene's from the movie!
Well let's hope High Moon doesn't drop the ball on this one, Transformer's: War For Cybertron is out on June 22, 2010.
Quick look at some of the Options/Xp Unlocks etc...
