Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a third-person shooter video game based on the 2009 live action film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers: The Game, and the second video game adaptation of the live-action Transformers film series. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game were developed by Luxoflux, and ported to Microsoft Windows by Beenox. The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions were developed by Krome Studios, and the PlayStation Portable version was developed by Savage Entertainment. All versions of the game were published by Activision, and released on June 23, 2009 in the United States. Australia received the games one day later, and Europe on June 26. A sequel, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was released in June 2011, based on the film on the same name.
All versions of the game loosely follow the plot of their film they are based on. Following the death of their leader, Megatron, the Decepticons have gone into hiding on Earth, while the Autobots have formed an alliance with humanity to hunt them down. The Decepticons are secretly being aided by a new enemy, The Fallen, who seeks to activate an ancient machine that would provide them with enough Energon to defeat the Autobots, destroying the Sun and all life on Earth in the process. The PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game feature a split-campaign format, with players choosing to join either the Autobots or the Decepticons, and completing various missions for whichever faction they chose. The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions combine the Autobot and Decepticon stories into one campaign that alternates between the two factions.
Revenge of the Fallen received mixed reviews on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 systems, holding scores of 63.55% and 63.46% at GameRankings and 63 and 61 out of 100 at Metacritic, with criticism directed towards its bland graphics and repetitive missions in story mode. Although the online mode was praised, it received criticism for its connection problems. The PlayStation 2 and Wii scored lower, with 46% and 53% at GameRankings, respectively. The DS iterations fared slightly better, with a critic average of 66.82% for Autobots and 69% for Decepticons at GameRankings.
Gameplay
PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
As with Transformers: The Game, Revenge of the Fallen features two separate campaigns; one depicting the actions of the Autobots, and the other the actions of the Decepticons. The game expands on the movie plot with additional missions and characters. Unlike its predecessor, Revenge of the Fallen features a hub-like, non-linear mission progression. This allows the player to choose what missions they would like to accomplish and where in order to further drive the story.[1]
Multiplayer features five different modes. "
PlayStation 2 and Wii
The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game combine third person shooter elements with brawlers. In this version, there is only one linear campaign, with factions changing between some levels. Their ability to transform into vehicles is absent, and is instead used as a power-up that instantly defeats all enemies around the player, and costs Energon, which is displayed in the HUD, underneath the health bar. Energon is earned from defeating enemies, and can also be used to restore health. There are also several unlockables, such as concept arts and character models, and a local co-op multiplayer mode, where two players have to survive against waves of enemies for as long as possible.
Synopsis
Setting
Revenge of the Fallen is set a few years after the events of Transformers: The Game. The evil Decepticon leader Megatron has been killed, and the powerful AllSpark has been shattered into numerous fragments, scattered across the Earth, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Despite Megatron's death however, numerous Decepticons are still active in various places around the world, forcing the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, to work with mankind to hunt them down. Unbeknownst to the Autobots, The Fallen, a former Prime and the first Decepticon, has returned, and is aiding the current Decepticons with their plans to resurrect Megatron and defeat the Autobots.
The PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game feature two different campaigns, one from the Autobots' perspective and the other from the Decepticons', which cross over on several occasions, while the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions feature only one campaign, which alternates between the two factions.

Plot
PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
Autobot campaign
The Autobots receive reports from NEST of Decepticon presence in
On the East Coast,
Jetfire reveals that the Dynasty of Primes have constructed a machine called the Sun Harvester hidden in an Egyptian pyramid, which Jetfire claims that can destroy stars to harvest their power, converting it into Energon.
Decepticon campaign
While searching for Megatron's lost body in Shanghai, Sideways encounters a group of Autobots and defeats them.
The Decepticons next head to Burbank, where Soundwave has learned that Sam Witwicky had given a shard of the AllSpark to Mikaela.[18] Believing that the shard can be used to revive Megatron, Long Haul is sent to capture several humans, who are then interrogated by Starscream on Mikaela's whereabouts. After discovering Mikaela's location, Long Haul is sent to retrieve her. However, Starscream then receives word that the Decepticon troops transporting Mikaela have been intercepted by the Autobots. In the wake of defeat, Starscream decides to kidnap NSA Chief Galloway. After destroying several buildings owned by the front corporation Massive Dynamics, Starscream captures Galloway and places him under Decepticon control. Meanwhile, the Autobots send Breakaway to stop the Decepticons' activities in Burbank, but Grindor intercepts and defeats him.
The Decepticons learn from Galloway that another AllSpark shard is in NEST's custody and that Megatron is buried deep in the Laurentian Abyss.[19] After Ravage retrieves the shard, the Decepticons travel to the Atlantic, where Starscream disables the Deep-6 aircraft carriers that guard Megatron's remains, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve their former leader's body.[20] Megatron is then revived using the AllSpark shard, and the Decepticons return to the East Coast.[21] There, Grindor kidnaps Sam, while Megatron defeats Optimus Prime. After Sam is rescued by the Autobots, the Decepticons learn he is headed to a museum, which Starscream destroys, though this fails to kill Sam, as he was transported to Cairo via a Space Bridge created by Jetfire.[22]
The Decepticons follow the Autobots to the outskirts of Cairo, where Megatron fights and defeats both Jetfire and Bumblebee.[23] Meanwhile, Long Haul destroys the Axion Gun that the Autobots gave to NEST. Megatron then learns that The Fallen has betrayed him by promising to make him a Prime, as Primes are born, not made,[24] so he exacts revenge by killing him at his Sun Harvester before he can activate it. Megatron later learns from Starscream that Optimus Prime has destroyed the Harvester, and declares victory for the Decepticons, making plans to form a new army and defeat the Autobots in the future.[25]
PlayStation 2 and Wii
The Decepticon
Megatron unleashes the colossal Decepticon
Jetfire attempts to stop the Decepticons and pursues them to Egypt, where he is shot down by Megatron. Though wounded, he is able to make his way to Optimus and save him from Starscream, at the cost of his own life.[32] Before dying, Jetfire lends his wings and other parts to Optimus, restoring his power and giving him the means to stop The Fallen.[33] Reuniting with the other Autobots, Optimus tells them to deal with the Decepticons guarding the Sun Harvester while he confronts The Fallen. Ironhide is able to destroy several Decepticon turrets before being attacked by Megatron. Optimus saves Ironhide and defeats Megatron, before battling The Fallen. He prevails once again, destroying both The Fallen and the Sun Harvester.[34] Their forces defeated, Megatron and Starscream try to make their escape, but get sucked into a Space Bridge, which transports them to The Fallen's base. The game ends with the Autobots repairing the pyramid where the Sun Harvester was located, while Megatron and Starscream oversee the creation of a new Decepticon army.[35]
Development
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 developer Luxoflux updated the transformation system of the game to allow for more fluid transforming of the robots. Players can now transform in mid-air, carry over momentum gained prior to transforming, and transform directly into attacks.[1] It features online play and downloadable content, announced on July 15, 2009. New features include the following: new multiplayer characters, including G1 versions of characters and new liveries; new multiplayer maps; the ability to use new characters in the campaign; an expert difficulty mode; and new achievements (Xbox 360) and trophies (PS3).[36][37][38] It was released August 27, 2009 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.[38]
The PS2 and Wii versions of the game were developed by Krome Studios. These versions feature a special cooperative mode, where the second player can "man the guns", utilizing a floating shield and weapon system, which is called the "Remote Weapons System" and is controlled with an on-screen reticule. Players work together to survive against waves of enemies.[39] Unlike the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, the PS2 and Wii versions feature only one campaign. Players alternate between controlling various Autobots and Decepticons over the game's fifteen missions. The Wii version of the game contains motion controls for combat and quick-time events. Each Transformer has a special move where the character transforms temporarily.[40]
