Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a videogame adaptation of the 2009 sequel blockbuster of the same name, featuring some new features alongside its predecessor. The story takes place two years after the first movie as the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, work with N.E.S.T. and various governments to root out Decepticons who have stayed behind after the fall of Megatron. However, they encounter resistance at every turn.
The human protagonist, Sam Witwicky, is trying to lead a normal life before soon being drawn into a battle that will involve an army of awaiting Decepticons, the resurrection of a familiar foe, "The Fallen", and a secret that can bring about the destruction of all life on Earth. Like in the previous game, 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 present in the film.
The gameplay has a more non-linear storyline, allowing players to choose which missions to complete in any order. These missions take place in "zones" and once completed, players can explore those areas in free roam mode without having to repeat missions.
There are 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 fighting it out. One Shall Stand is a variation of Team Deathmatch with the goal of eliminating the opposing team's leader, and Control Points has two opposing teams fighting for control of certain marked areas.
