"To profanely dismiss traits distinctive to a particular entity would be to betray its very existence; yet that is precisely what Activision did with Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Stealth Force Edition, an utterly foolish premise made that much worse by awful controls. If you had the misfortune of being burned by what was an insensibly drastic reshaping of established values, I suspect you might've been turned off from playing another Transformers game for good -- at least one on a Nintendo platform. And with that kind of resentment still looming in the background, you can be excused for being extremely cautious about investigating how Transformers Prime: The Game performed." -- Wiiloveit.com

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."
