Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The game Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is based on the film of the same name. Set a few years after Megatron’s defeat in the first game/movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen reveals that the threat posed by the Decepticons is far from over. Since the end of the first film, Decepticons have started reappearing all over the world. They are looking for a mysterious object from space that will grant them power balance. The game is a linear third-person shooter in which the player controls many of the movie’s main characters, switching between Autobot and Decepticon factions. The plot is told through cutscenes, allowing the player to switch between characters easily. On the Autobot side, playable characters include Optimus Prime, Iron Hide, Jetfire, and Bumblebee. Starscream, Sideways (a new character), and Megatron are among the Decepticons. Though the game does not allow the player to transform wherever they want, the transformation has been introduced as special attacks during robot mode, as fixed alternate game modes (driving Shanghai tunnels as Sideways and flying through the skies of Russia as Starscream), and as special moves that give the player alternate abilities in both robot and vehicle modes. For example, while flying as Starscream, he can fly backward as a robot to take out enemies behind the protagonist. A friend can join as a “Remote Weapon System” during a single-player campaign, allowing them to shoot enemies, erect a shield to defend, and transfer energy between both players.
