High Moon has been very good at saying all the right things with War for Cybertron leading up to its arrival in stores, but many licensed titles have talked a great game before falling apart when all was said and done. Thankfully, War for Cybertron impresses with an excellent single-player campaign with full co-op support, the included Horde-alike Escalation mode, and surprisingly deep and inventive online multiplayer component. Transformers: War for Cybertron has taken the magic of playing with plastic and metal toys that turn into cool s**t both alone and with friends and have distilled that into something pretty special. This is a surprise, dark horse contender for best way to spend your time online this summer.

| 9.0 | Presentation The interface and presentation of War for Cybertron is a constantly shifting, transforming menagerie of Cybertronian cool. |
| 8.5 | Graphics The redesigns and little graphical touches in WFC - like the way Transformers intersect with switches and turrets - are fantastic, but the frame-rate sometimes suffers, and more variety would be nice. |
| 8.0 | Sound WFC's music is passable, but occasionally stumbles into shooter cliches. The sound effects are great though, particular the angry screams of a Soldier right before they're smashed to pieces. |
| 9.0 | Gameplay WFC is super responsive and adds an entire mechanic to well executed third person shooting to create something pretty memorable, with a unique identity. |
| 9.0 | Lasting Appeal Between a 12 hour singleplayer campaign with full 3 player co-op, Escalation, and a swath of awesome multiplayer modes, WFC could last you well into this Summer. |
