Contributing factors to this are the cutscenes if you can call them that. Add to this the non-descript changes between the good and evil sides of the story, and youll be hard-pressed to play through a second time to see the outcome of the other side. As I said earlier, the story picks the meat off the proverbial bones of the movie. This is probably where the lackluster story suffers the most. The endgame is the same just with Autobot or Decepticon influences. Even though some things are slightly different depending on the side you choose, Autobot or Deception, each story basically mirrors one another.

In the past they have nearly always ruined the time and money weve spent playing those titles. Summer blockbuster films always seem to find their way to video game consoles.
