The rest of the time performance sat at a comfortable 20+ to 30 frames per second, well within the acceptable range for decent action play. There is some occasional slowdown, but during the review playthrough only one session ever yielded a drop in frame rate so serious it bordered on a slideshow.
Unreal Engine III is once again called to action for the graphics, and this time the usual woes of blurry textures snapping into proper resolution a few seconds too late is kept in better check. Obviously the game looks at its best when played on the PC, but the console versions are no slouch in the looks department either. You don’t have to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Transformers to know what’s going on, but it sure helps a lot if you remember what jerk Starscream was in the old cartoons. Although Fall of Cybertron takes place within its own continuity, it borrows heavily from the G1 universe its target audience-men who are children at heart-will be most familiar with. Would a Transformers fan have it any other way? Nope to that too.
Does Megatron’s innate 80s villainy make any sense in this game? Nope. Optimus Prime and his remaining warriors mean to be on it, while Megatron continues his crusade to rule a dead world and destroy all who oppose him just on principle. The inhabitants of the planet have been fleeing their desiccated world in ships and only one great ark remains. The Autobots defeated Trypticon, but the victory was pyrrhic at best since Cybertron itself is on the verge of shut down. Fall of Cybertron follows from the events of the self-contained continuity that was War for Cybertron.
