Jason Gambrel writes: Growing up as a kid of the 80s, I had a lot of obsessions. Looking back, I think that the three biggest were video games, Star Wars, and Transformers. I can remember the day that I received Starscream as my first Transformer toy, and almost breaking him during the first time I transformed him. A few years later, I sat in a movie theater watching Optimus Prime die as a tear or two ran down my face.

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."
