My Thoughts:

My husband was excited to review this recent Wii release, as he has been a fan of Transformers since a child, and especially loves the hit movies that released over the past few years.  I have also found myself intrigued by this popular franchise, as the animation of both the Autobots and Decepticons is stellar.  And, the action and fighting sequences really draw you in.  Like the animated series and major motion picture films, this video game does an amazing job at making you feel like you are part of the action.  This game allows you to play solo, or in a multi-player platform with up to 11 people.  




If you are fans of Transformers, then you will love being able to be Bubblebee or Bulkhead, as you join forces with the humans to bring down the Decepticons.  Through battle sequences and captivating story lines, this new video game, which is available for the Nintendo Wii™ and Wii U, 3DS™and DS™, will have fans hooked the moment the game begins.  My husband ended up pulling an all-nighter just to beat the game.  And, since then, he continues to play by choosing other Autobots characters. 

So, if you have a Transformers Prime fan in your house, young or old, why not surprise them this upcoming holiday season with this new video game from Activision?  


Disclosure:  I was sent a sample copy of this game from the vendor in order to write up an honest review. The views above are mine and mine alone.
