Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a game in the Transformers franchise, set three years after the events of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen . The story follows the ongoing battle between the two factions and consists of seven chapters and an epilogue. Many locations have a South American setting.
The gameplay is a mix of third-person action shooter and vehicle combat, with the ability to transform at will. Playable characters include Bumblebee, Ironhide, Mirage, and Optimus Prime for the Autobots, and Laserbeak, Megatron, Soundwave, and Starscream for the Decepticons. Each character has a specific set of abilities, including cloaking, sniping, and draining health.
The game features a competitive multiplayer mode where players can create a custom character based on four classes: Commander, Hunter, Scout, and Warrior. Characters earn experience, level up, and earn new abilities. The game modes are deathmatch, team deathmatch, and conquest. Characters can be created per class initially, but eventually, three slots per class become available.
The Transformers: Dark of the Moon game for Xbox 360 is a unique version compared to other games in the series, such as the Wii/3DS version played entirely in vehicle mode without the ability to transform. The game was released on June 14th , 2011.
