![]() ![]() ![]() Peter Cullen is happily chewing the scenery as Optimus Prime, waxing poetic about how much he loves humans and how honorable they are, when the Decepticons get their hands on the Dark Spark and things go sideways. The plot kicks off with the Decepticons acquiring the Dark Spark, a super-powered MacGuffin that basically means bad news for the Autobots. Developed by Edge of Reality, it tries to co-opt many of the gameplay concepts from the previous two games by High Moon but the execution seems rushed, and the attempts to merge the continuity of the animated series and that of the Michael Bay movies just results in confusion. The latest game, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is unfortunately a clunky mess. ![]() High Moon Studios even developed a couple of really good games based on the original series: War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron. Still, I fully acknowledge that a lot of people have very fond memories of the Transformers and hold them as dearly as I do the crew of the USS Enterprise or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I can only assume that the tiresome Michael Bay movies succeed purely on a concoction of nostalgia and explosions. I’ve never been able to take the cartoons seriously-not with utterly toyetic character names like Starscream, Soundwave and Megatron. I’m largely ambivalent toward the Transformers franchise. ![]()
