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!
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.
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

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.

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege
Onimusha 3: Demon SiegeOnimusha 3 is the third game of the Onimusha series. The game retains elements from previous games in the franchise including the use of multiple special weapons in order to fight enemies and absorb their energy to enhance the weaponry. This time the player primarily controls both Samanosuke and Jacques in separate scenarios. The two are able to exchange items in order to solve puzzles. The development from this game started after the release of the PlayStation 2 which allowed the team to work on a 3D engine to design 3D backgrounds. In order to appeal to the Western market, the team set this game in Paris and chose French actor Jean Reno to portray Jacques. Onimusha 3 has been generally well received by publications for video games. Most of the writer's praise focused on the improved controls and the use of a 3D engine that allowed better combat and visuals, respectively. The game also generated good sales with over 1.5 million copies sold as of May 2008.

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams
Onimusha: Dawn of DreamsOnimusha: Dawn of Dreams is the sixth installment of Capcom's Onimusha overall series, while being the fourth game in the canonical main series. While game retains the action elements from previous Onimusha, it offers a more varied amount of weapons as well as the option of going back to previous stage to unlock new content. The game also introduces a 3D camera as well as the ability to continuously fight alongside AI controlled characters who move depending on the player's orders. Dawn of Dreams was announced by Capcom due to high fan demand and several Capcom members realizing they could expand the action elements from Onimusha after working in Shadow of Rome. The game was designed in order to appeal to skilled gamers rather than the general market which resulted in appealing designs rather than realistic.
