Usually you get about forty to sixty seconds of gameplay buffered by brief and pointless cutscenes, themselves lasting seconds long. Its levels typically run between two and four minutes, consisting either of remedial brawling or on-rails vehicular sections. Transformers Prime is about as basic as a game can get.

I’ll admit, I’ve struggled to keep up with the Transformers brand since Generation One.
