It's a credit to War for Cybertron that it manages to clear away a lot of the "kids-only" mist around the franchise, and in the process coagulates into an incredibly competent third-person shooter. It helps that the game makes full use of the aesthetic, giving the player the ability to diversify their play style by transforming between different control modes. Sure, the constant corridor-shooting begins to grind a bit as the game goes on, but overall, it was an enjoyable few hours.
