Transformers: War for Cybertron on DS

Transformers: War for Cybertron Screen Shots

Transformers: War for Cybertron is a Shooting game available on the DS. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Transformers: War for Cybertron is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Transformers: War for Cybertron can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Transformers: War for Cybertron can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Story Gamer review Mon, 07 Mar 2011

Transformers: War for Cybertron: Autobots DS takes the same story and premise as the home console game, but makes it lighter, brighter and simpler for Nintendo's handheld. The result is a breezy cartoon shooter that's fun but disposable.

I liked Transformers: War for Cybertron (360) a lot, considering it to be the most successful Transformers game yet in terms of putting the perks and abilities of a transforming robot into the player's hands.
