For a game that is all about giant robots fighting each other, you find yourself sadly firing the same machine gun at the same targets over and over again. It also suffers from the faults of the other Transformers game, being that is has a painful lack of variety. Put the reticle on the other guy and watch them die. It’s a pretty generic third person behind the back military shooter. The format of the game is pretty much identical to previous Transformers games. It’s a sloppy fanfiction style reason to get giant transforming robots fighting each other again and it’s not compelling in the least. OK I’m being purposefully vague to avoid spoilers but, in reality, that’s about what the plot is. Anyway, the Decepticons want this dark spark to tear open holes in universes or… whatever… and that beats the Autobots or something. Of course, all the Matrix of Leadership does is grant you wisdom so I think good is getting a crap deal here. It gives anyone who holds it the power to bend the universe to their will. It’s an ancient relic, as powerful as the Matrix of Leadership, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil. The plot centers around “The Dark Spark” which… pretty much does what it says on the tin.
SPARK IN THE DARK PS4 MOVIE
The fact that the plot is so removed from the movie makes it even harder to care about the events of the game. Did you ever notice that these games only come out when a Transformers movie is about to release? It’s a movie tie-in through and through, from the bland and uninspired action, to the crappy level design. The game takes place in completely different locales than the movie, you encounter completely different characters, and you go on completely different missions. It tries to market itself as something other than a movie tie-in. Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark takes itself very seriously.
Yes, another one is about to come out and if you already played any of the Transformers games that have come out before, or movie tie-in games in general, then you know what to expect. Yes, they are still making games for these crappy movies. Yes, they are still making these crappy movies.
SPARK IN THE DARK PS4 SERIES
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is the latest in a long line of action games based on the series of Michael Bay movies based on the franchise that delighted us as kids.
