This is a game with genuine passion for the Transformers franchise. Offers what I believe to be the best interpretation of the Transformers on Cybertron before they head to Earth, with their designs looking the most alien, yet still retaining their classic G1 look. This, and its sequel Fall of Cybertron deserve to be preserved, and made easily accessible.
I remember renting this game from Family Video thinking it'd be crap, and I ended up adoring it. It hasn't aged the best, but the world and voice acting are still top notch. And those animations still impress me with the robotic breathing.
This was one of the first games I purchased for the Xbox 360 at age 13, and I played it like crazy. I miss my 360, now, and I want to enjoy a good old game from childhood and have others play it too.

I love transformers since I was a kid in the 1980s and it felt like paying those games from back then. This game should be preserved and not lost to oblivion, as a once wise unicron said.
Games like these is the reason why this GOG initiative exist. Its an almost(?) lost media. It's a great game with amazing story and full of so much love for the G1 Transformers!
I remember watching my dad playing this game and having an absolute blast. He told me this was one of the best Transformers to ever come out and when I finally got around to playing it I gotta say I agree. The story is a blast and the gameplay is very addictive. I would love for more people to finally be able to play this game
This game, along with Fall Of Cybertron, have been the best Transformers gaming experience ever released to this day. With the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate, it's time to dust off a piece of history and let it shine again.

It's been ages since I played it, so I can't quite remember how epic it was. I did get to play 'Fall of Cybertron' quite recently though, and that was surprisingly good. These developers really had a passion for making great, spectacular games. Even when they weren't at their best (such as Deadpool, the Bourne game, and maybe this first Transformers title) they still made much better licensed games than most developers / publishers of the time. As far as Fall Of Cybertron goes: There are some brilliant set-pieces, decent action, and still quite impressive graphics despite its age. I'm not sure I'd say this one is a classic, but I sure would like to be able to play it without having to resort to robbing a bank so I can pay the £1000 or so it goes for these days... If nothing else, from what I can remember it was a good first effort, that was then refined to a huge degree in the sequel.

Unreal Tournament 2003
Unreal Tournament 2003In 2291, consensual murder is legalized, opening the way for a previously underground event. Smaller mining companies have been running smaller matches to channel aggression, but now the Liandri Mining Corporation established a professional league, which quickly proves to be an extremely lucrative way of public entertainment. Liandri entered into the Tournament, as it is officially called, sponsoring their own team, the Corrupt. The Corrupt's leader, Xan Kriegor, quickly achieved champion status and held it for two years. In 2293, a human named Malcolm dethroned him and became champion himself. A huge media figure, Malcolm is hailed as the biggest star in human history and is worshipped as a god. His success nets great rewards for his sponsoring corporation, attracting the attention of jealous rivals both in the arenas of the Tournament and in the corridors of power a galaxy away. Liandri attempted to win back the champion title with Xan MK2 but failed (unknown to the other contestants, each member of the Corrupt is purely robotic, including Xan). Now it is 2302. The Tournament is undergoing a massive overhaul. The aging Sniper Rifle (a relic of centuries past) is removed from the Tournament as is "Assault" - a team-based event that forms a part of the competition. Many fans of the Tournament complain at these changes, with some combatants refusing to participate in the new format. Malcolm, shortly after his victory, hired two of his former opponents (Brock and Lauren, members of the former Iron Guard team) as teammates in his reformed Thunder Crash team. But the Axon Research Corporation, another of the four great corporations, entered the Tournament as well, sponsoring the geneboosted Juggernaut team, led by the brutal and savage Gorge.
