Or ORRRR. There are no combiners and I prefer it that way since it makes no sense that four of the five Aerialbots are just kicking around and waiting.

Giant robot made of small robots = awesome all the time, any time, it doesn't matter what the game is!

Still waiting to hear what the music is like in this game, that will make it break it for me. Why not hire Vince DiCola, he's not really doing anything these days...

Synth died with the 80s! Although homages to some of the music like "Battle for Autobot City" and "Megatron must be stopped" would not be unwelcome.

And yet electronic music has never been as popular in everything in the pop to hip-hop and dance music of today? Electronic music is perfect for a game set on Cybertron.

This game is also up for pre-order at FutureShop for the 39.99 price. I really hope this is part of a general trend of lowering the starting price of games in general. With the amount of people purchasing games these days, there really is not reason to keep the prices so high.

The problem though is they'll never do it for the AAA titles. Like a GTA V, or the next Call of Duty. They only do it for the games that don't sell as well (like this). Hopefully this continues and more games are priced like this.

The game hasn't even sold a single unit yet and it's going to sell less? O RLY?!

It's just Walmart doing special sales on certain games. They did it in the past with Batman Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2 from what I remember off the top of my head. FS and BB is just reacting to Walmart's sale.

No, re-read what I wrote. I said they never do this ($40) for the AAA titles, like a GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption, but they seem to do the promotion for games that will typically sell less, to push out more units.

Wal-Mart has done this in the past for AAA titles, they use it to drive traffic and buzz to their store and undersell their competitors and cement the idea in people's heads that the first place you should always go is Wal-Mart and not even consider anything else.

Arkham Asylum launched at the lower price. Which is funny considering how kick ass that game was.

A real nerd (or actually a grown man who is still a child inside) would say "Autobots, Transform and Roll-Out"

Just got the game, can't wait to fire it up, but the power in the house is off and on so I don't want it to crash.

My god is the Scientist a fun class. I love going in 1-3 and then just transforming and flying away, they turn to me and then my team comes in and kills them. So fun flying around.

don't have online so maybe I am missing the crazy fun with this game. Rented it, just playing through on regular campaign mode. Being Megatron is awesome.

Just beat the Decepticon campaign. Awesome, is all I can say. Took me with 2 co-op guys about 4 hours to beat. Going by the achievements (5 for Decepticons, 10 for Autobots), I am to assume the Autobot campaign will be about 8ish hours, so the single player is quite long.

The multi-player is where the party is at though. Intense chaotic fun is all I can say.
