Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a videogame adaptation of the 2009 sequel blockbuster of the same name, featuring some new features from its predecessor. The story takes place two years after the first movie as the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, work with a team of American and British forces called N.E.S.T. to root out Decepticons who have stayed behind after the fall of Megatron. However, they are encountering 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 that will see an army of awaiting Decepticons invade Earth, the resurrection of a familiar foe, and a secret that can bring about the destruction of 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 include additional missions not featured in the film.
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, players can explore those areas in a free roam mode without having to repeat missions.
The game also features online capabilities, 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 fight it out. One Shall Stand is a variation of Team Deathmatch where the goal is to eliminate the opposing team's leader, and Control Points sees two opposing teams fighting for control of certain marked areas. 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.
