In fact, the added freedom of movement feels so good, I'd even compare it favourably to Spider-Man 2's web-swinging. In particular, the transformation mechanic has been revamped, so now you have complete freedom to switch from diesel truck to giant robot on the fly. Even with the occasional bouts of slowdown when things get hectic, ROTF remains an impressive graphical feat throughout.īy far, the biggest success in ROTF is the combat and gameplay, which is drastically improved from its horrible, clunky forerunner. It's obvious that developer Luxoflux wanted to get as close to the movie's style as possible, and in some cases, the robot designs look stripped from the silver screen. Each Autobot and Depticon has a remodeled design that looks comparatively better than 2007's lacklustre Transformers, and every explosion and flare of weapons fire just adds to the polish. When it comes to the visuals, the titular robots outright steal the whole damn show. Previously, I said that Revenge of the Fallen was one of the best-looking games of 2009, and on most counts, that still holds true.
