Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Game Review. CHA!
Now I was a HUGE fan of last year's Transformers: War for Cybertron game. The game had an original story, great gameplay, and awesome multiplayer. High Moon Studios was placed with the responsibility to take that game and adapt it for the movie tie in. Unfortunately, with any movie tie in game, it falls short.
STORY:
The story is set before the events of the movie and the Decepticons are in hiding. You start off playing as the Autobots, and about half way into the game, you change to the Decepticons. The first gripe I had from the start was no Co-Op Multiplayer campaign. The level design wouldn't have permitted this at all given that you find yourself going backwards past the same areas multiple times. This was a cheap way to lengthen the levels and causes them to become stale very early on. Not to mention the parts where you are trapped in an area and forced to survive waves of enemies before you can move on.
Gameplay:
Gameplay has changed somewhat with the inclusion of a 3rd transformation known as "Stealth Force". All characters have both a Robot form, a Vehicle form, and this new form that lets you fire weapons from you vehicles. If you played War for Cybertron, its nothing new, other then being able to switch between 2 weapons in this form as opposed to only having one. The downside to this is you find yourself either using Stealth Force only to move from one point to another. Your Robot weapons can do the job just as well, but without the sluggish side stepping of Stealth Force.
Multiplayer:
My biggest complaint has to be the multiplayer. It seems that High Moon had to restrict what kind of Customizations you could make to your characters in order to simplify them and make each character unique. There are 4 Classes to Choose from, Scout, Hunter, Commando, Warrior. Although they might seem the same as their War for Cybertron counterparts. They can not be modified as much. Before, you could choose both Primary and secondary weapons, both abilities, and 3 perks that are both shared between all classes or unique to individual ones. Now you can only choose between secondary weapons, secondary abilities, and the same set of perks for all classes. Even more restricting is that Autobots and Decepticons themselves have exclusive abilities. Leading to a forced change in playstyle if you play as different teams.
Other changes to multiplayer are small but subtle. No hit markers to tell if you landed the shot. All reticules are the same for all weapons and lead to confusion as to what you might have equipped. Shared killstreaks that don't offer much advantage. The level design for the maps are very restricted, you find yourself in long allyways trying to speed past 90 degree corners, or trying to fly above the ma only to hit invisible walls that don't lead to any advantage of flight.
Verdict:
Given the nature of Movie tie in games, I didn't expect much going into this to begin with, it still plays better then a generic tie in game given that its cookie cut from War for Cybertrons impressive style. But with so much of the game being restricted to fit its earth setting. It lost its ability to create something unique.

@Chris Bartel that's understandable that is your opinion but there is no way I'm missing this movie and from what I have heard the 3D has been done in new ways so it won't be dark and easier on the eyes..They really are trying to give us the best 3D experience. I won't try to persuade anyone to see anything but I will say some of you act as if going to he movies is a job it's just a night to go out and have fun for me. I go 4 to 5 times a month I understand money maybe a little tight but geez its not that tight for you to have to see a movie for free before you will go..

I think the biggest problem with a transformers game is the setting, the reason war for cybertron really worked for me was the fact it wasn't on earth, it was on cybertron so you can make levels a lot more interesting and less repetitive these game to movie tie in's are limited with the settings the movie has which really takes away from what you can do setting wise if they don't allow you a broader scope.
@thatBoyK-0
I agree that the movie should be allowed to come out before people tear it apart, but so far nothing gives me hope that this will be a better transformers movie, I really don't plan on seeing it in the theaters unless it's free and there is no way i will see it in 3D, gives me headaches now days when i see a movie in 3D due to the movie being darker and things are harder to see.

@Joshua Jonson you just had to bring up the movie huh will you please let the movie come out first before you make assumptions and as far as early reviews go they are calling it the best one yet and the biggest movie of the year..which I don't doubt with the 3D they are using..It may do what Avatar did i have even read the 3D is better than Avatar but we will see..

I think it would be cool if they made a game based on the entire trilogy with all of the characters in it, most of them playable, but High Moon left a great impression on me with WFC, so I'll check this out.
