The Married Gamer: In their infinite wisdom, Activision has decided to celebrate their amazing Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game by releasing Transformers: Prime -The Game. The newest game is not based on the classic Transformers animated series. It, instead, finds inspiration from the updated series on the Hub television channel (now available on Netflix). The series, featuring young American-ized anime kids who have bonded with the legendary Autobots, has earned several daytime Emmy awards. Activision even managed to use the voice actors from the series. The result is a tribute to the old Transformers classic with added cutesy factor.

With consumer interest revitalised in Hasbro’s now lucrative IP, Activision once again draw inspiration from the franchise in Transformers Prime: The Game.
Nintendo Life: The long-running Transformers franchise has shifted, morphed and diverged enough to certainly live up to its name since debuting in 1984: the original Generation 1 adored by long-time fans and purists, Beast Wars, a few Michael Bay interpretations and loads of comic books and video games. Much of the fiction's focus nowadays is on the cartoon Transformers: Prime, to which Activision has turned its attention to for a Nintendo-exclusive title that draws on the universe of the eponymous show for a colourful bash-em-up.
From the review: "While the 3DS and Wii versions of the game are exactly the same in terms of the game itself, I’m rating the Wii version a little lower, mainly due to the lack of ingenuity with the motion controls and the multiplayer, each of which could have been done quite a bit better on the Wii version of the game. However, I do still recommend giving it a shot."
