CPU opponents, you can choose to play against just one, two, or three other opponents.

There are three unique multiplayer modes to choose from, and in each of the three modes you have the option of playing local wireless, or single player vs. I would absolutely recommend playing through the single player campaign first before moving onto multiplayer as several characters and multiplayer maps are unlocked throughout the campaign. The story is what shines here and the cinematics in the game are what really help drive that forward. Mature or more advanced gamers won't find too much of a challenge here nor will they find the game to be very lengthy. One important thing to keep in mind (which I had to be very conscious of while playing) is that this is a game targeted to a much younger audience. The gameplay takes you through various locations that look as though they could have come right out of the Transformers Prime series (including a bit on the Decepticon Warship, The Nemesis), and also features most of the Autobot and Decepticon characters that show up weekly on the show (with one very notable addition introduced in the game). There's a cinematic that introduces the main plot, then there is a level to play through, then a boss fight, and then a cinematic tying what you just played into what you are getting ready to play, and so on. These cinematics really help drive home the story based experience being presented here and help to set the tone for the game that it really is like its own longer, interactive, installment of the Transformers Prime series.

Right after the familiar intro we are treated to a cinematic, which is the first of many cinematics throughout the game (there are 58 total). The first thing you will notice when starting up this game is the standard Transformers Prime intro you know from the popular Hub Network show. The 3DS handheld offering comes with a standard story campaign that you would expect, as well as local multiplayer (which we will touch on later). Transformers Prime is the first Transformers game set within the Transformers Prime universe, and is available exclusively on Nintendo systems.
