Gameplay
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is a top-down perspective (similar to GTA Chinatown Wars) arcade shooter in which you cannot transform at will. In fact, a majority of the gameplay is played in robot mode with only two missions which you play in vehicle mode (and none of them allow you to fly). In comparison with the previous Transformers movie game, characters have less weapons only a primary infinite ammo weapon and a limited powerful secondary weapon, characters cannot interact or pick up objects (some objects can be destroyed), many character animations look awkward and cutscenes are replaced with dialogue lines.
Along with the Autobot and Decepticon campaign there is also a survival mode in which you can pick any Autobot or Decepticon and attempt to survive for as long as possible while racking up a high score.
