![]() ![]() There are numerous terminals scattered about the levels that let you switch out any unlocked weapons and you can also pick-up new weapons left lying around the levels along with abundant ammo drops and Energon cubes. Admittedly, there are some level design situations that force you to transform at least temporarily. In most cases transforming is really never about tactics as much as it is switching to a new ammo source when your guns run dry. The game is an endless sequence of fighting land and air enemies using a mix of your primary and secondary weapons or morphing into your vehicle mode that can drive or fly and shoot depending on who you are. There isn’t much in the way of particle effects, lighting or shadows other than the occasional lens flare from the sun or a bright light.Īs a big Transformers fan I can tolerate antiquated graphics if there is solid gameplay to distract me, but sadly there is none to be found. I’m guessing this might be to help maintain the 60fps in the single-player game, but it would be nice to turn this filter off – then again, that might only reveal the inferior texture quality even more. Level design is slightly more original once you get to Cybertron, but textures are always a bit flat and low-res and there is this perpetual mist or haze over everything in the game both indoors and out. Things start to look a bit better the further you get into the game. The enemy AI is moronic, and with your early arsenal of overpowered weapons there is not much of a challenge. ![]() When you aren’t wandering through linear corridors the map will open up into an arena-style area and you get to run around playing in brief spurts of what versus multiplayer might be like if Dark Spark actually had that. Enemies are limited in type, design, and intelligence. In fact none of the animations flow together all that well. Gone are those cool seamless attack transitions from vehicle to robot. Once you get into the game you have a reasonably good quality model for whichever robot you are controlling, although their animations are stiff and awkward. Pre-rendered cutscenes are of surprisingly low resolution and loaded with compression artifacts. Even the PC version (often a step up from console) fails to match the quality of the games that have come before it. In fact, Dark Spark somehow manages to go back in time with graphics that may have been acceptable in the early days of Xbox 360 or PS3, but I pity the person who buys this game on the Xbox One or PS4 in hopes of a next-gen experience. Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is perhaps the worst Transformers game in the game franchise – yes, even worse than those movie spin-offs from the last gen. His love for the franchise really shined in every facet of those games, but sadly, the latest installment in the Transformers franchise has been farmed out to Edge of Reality and the results are less than stellar. The Transformers games have always seemed to be better when not directly tied to the movies as was the case with War for Cybertron and its 2012 follow-up Fall of Cybertron, both created by High Moon Studios and Matt Tieger, one of the greatest Transformers fans you could ever meet. Probably not as big as some since I’ve only gotten interested in them since the movies and recent series of video games have started coming out, but I’m still a big fan.
