DHGF: Transformers Prime: The Game manages to capture the look, roughly, and feel of the show it’s based on. Playing the game feels like you’re getting involved in an extended episode or film based off the show. While rougher around the edges than the Wii U version will be, this version still manages to hold its own and deliver an interesting experience. While not as tight combat-wise as the big brother title Fall of Cybertron released earlier this year on the PS3 and 360, it’s still quite a bit of fun. A little tightening of the controls and combat would have been nice, as well as a full blown online multiplayer versus split screen only, Transformers fans who only own a Wii should be satisfied with this one.

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."
