![]() ![]() In fact, I was quite confused when I first started playing the game and found myself in the steel chassis of a samurai robot with stereotypical Asian features, one that kept talking about honor as if that were an original sentiment. ![]() It took me a moment to even remember that’s what they were doing, since pre-release coverage of this game has been almost nil. In a move that would be utterly baffling if not for the obvious answer (money money money!), Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark seeks to uncomfortably stitch the continuity of the Cybertron games to Michael Bay’s critically despised series of movies. The result is a game that shamelessly revels in being everything War and Fall were not – cynical, lazy, and disrespectful. Of course, Activision had no intention of killing off the Cybertron license, and has now handed the IP off to one of gaming’s prominent mercenaries, Edge of Reality. Sadly, after the release of Fall of Cybertron, High Moon apparently isn’t allowed to work on Transformers games anymore, and the association has ended for one of the few companies to produce a Transformers title that respected property and fan alike. A passion project designed with a clear love of the classic Hasbro franchise, Cybertron married the original “G1” series to an all-original setting and artistic direction, producing a smart, solid, and thoroughly entertaining little adventure that rose above most cynical licensed videogames. High Moon Studios impressed this particular Generation One Transformers fan with the release of Transformers: War for Cybertron.
