Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a videogame adaptation of the 2009 sequel blockbuster of the same name, featuring some elements from its predecessor alongside newer features. The story takes place two years after the first movie/game as the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, work with American and British forces called N.E.S.T. along with many Earth governments to root out and destroy Decepticons who stayed behind after Megatron's fall. However, they face resistance at every turn.
At the same time, human protagonist Sam Witwicky tries to lead a normal life unaware that he will soon be involved in a battle against an army of awaiting Decepticons, the resurrection of a familiar foe, and a mysterious enemy named "The Fallen". This will also bring about a secret that can destroy all life on Earth.
The player can choose to be either Autobots or Decepticons, each with their own campaign and locations from both the movie along with new locations created to expand the game. The events of each campaign have elements from the movie but also additional missions not in the film to fill in the game.
Unlike the first game, this version has a more non-linear storyline where the player can choose which missions to complete in any order. These missions take place in "zones" and once completed, the player can explore that area in free roam mode without repeating missions.
There are online capabilities along with downloadable content and five different multiplayer modes. Deathmatch allows up to eight players in a free-for-all while Team Deathmatch has two teams of four fighting each other. One Shall Stand is a variation of Team Deathmatch where the goal is to eliminate the opposing team's leader. Control Points has two teams fighting for control of marked areas, earning points for more territories conquered. Battle for the Shards is a Capture-the-Flag variation where two teams seek out shards of the Allspark and bring them back to their home base to receive points.
