You take on the role of a different Autobot with each mission starting with Optimus Prime. I liked this because some games you never got to play Optimus until much later. He’s a fan favorite and I think it is great that you can play him first. Continue reading Review: Transformers Prime The Game for the Nintendo Wii & DS
