Just 10 minutes into Transformers: Devastation I'm in a fistfight with the monstrous Devastator. This and other epic boss battles are lovingly authentic to the '80s Transformers TV show and movie, right down to the original voice actors and rocking power ballad wailing in the background. But the appeal of this Transformers game isn't solely pre-Michael Bay nostalgia: Devastation does a good job of transforming my favorite robots in disguise into a fun and energetic action game.
The polished cell-shaded look of these Generation One Autobots and Decepticons is amazing, with textures and animations that feel ripped right out of the 1986 movie. I could watch the detailed sequence where Optimus Prime changes into a big rig truck all day. Devastation nails the presentation angle, with colorful graphics that effectively capture the sights and sound of a decades-old cartoon adventure. The level of obsessive detail for everything Transformers is impressive, from the shiny metallic finish on each robot body down to the family station wagons and blocky cabs of the time sitting on the road. But the deeper I went into the story, the bland arenas and levels felt more and more forgettable. It's disappointing, because the art direction nails the atmosphere, but buildings and textures are noticeably copy-and-pasted, to the point that I would have gotten lost without the in-game map telling me I hadn't already been here.
