The awesome Transformers game that not enough people play

The Xbox 360 version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is absolutely awesome for Live multiplayer (Single player campaign is mediocre). I know, the last Transformers movie tie-in game (and movie tie-in games in general) sucked, but this is just insane fun. They managed to tie together transforming, driving/flying, melee fighting and shooting just so damn well, I can't even believe it (the most powerful hits at your disposal are these 'pop out' power attacks that have you convert directly from vehicle to robot while creaming the other guy with your fist. In single player, it's a bit amusing; in multiplayer, with people dodging and driving and leaping around, it makes for absolutely spectacular fights). The PC port apparently has a bunch of issues, so I can't recommend that at all, but the console Xbox 360 version is easily a classic. Hopefully they'll release some downloadables if/once it catches on to expand the 'mech roster.

If you're bored or want to play a half decent transformers game or just like multiplayer shooters in general, go pick this up for your 'Box library.

"Let me say only this much to the moral issue involved: Suppose Germany had developed two bombs before we had any bombs. And suppose Germany had dropped one bomb, say, on Rochester and the other on Buffalo, and then having run out of bombs she would have lost the war. Can anyone doubt that we would then have defined the dropping of atomic bombs on cities as a war crime, and that we would have sentenced the Germans who were guilty of this crime to death at Nuremberg and hanged them?

But, again, don't misunderstand me. The only conclusion we can draw is that governments acting in a crisis are guided by questions of expediency, and moral considerations are given very little weight, and that America is no different from any other nation in this respect."

You liked the movie, after all... so everything you say is now subject to scrutiny!

I beat the first game to 100%. It was fun for about 30% of it. By all accounts the second game is worse, with the sole redeeming quality being multiplayer. That's not nearly enough incentive for me to rent it.
