Tried the multi player demo lasthttp://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/offers/0ddf0001-0000-4000-8000-000041568885
Pretty good fun, feels a little unbalanced though. Hope they get it right

Got it last week and love it. Haven't had much chance to play it though. Multiplayer is a blast, although the 'Horde' mode is pretty poo, as you can't choose to start on a previously completed Wave, although there is only 15, got to Wave 12 before all my team died.

The Decepticon portion of the campaign is the worst.  It greatly improves when you take control of the Autobots.

Also, the Multiplayer beats all of the above (according to reviews).

I very rarely do with rentals, though if I like the game enough, I have only done one level so far, then i'll give the online a blast.

First Impressions:

This games is a very pleasant surprise.  It is to the Transformer franchise what Batman Arkham Asylum was to the Batman franchise.  It's not as good as Batman AA, but it is certainly the best Transformers game released to-date.

The gameplay is very basic - run&gun 3rd-person shooter.  The controls is really where the game shines.  It's like Batman AA in the way it makes you feel like the character.  Everything is so fluid and simple, unlike so many Transformer games before.

You are free to transform whenever you want, which adds a much needed depth and realism to combat.  There is pop-up auto-aim (Modern Warfare, RDR, etc.) but it is not 100% accurate so you still have to have a certain level of skill to actually kill things (which is nice).

The dialogue is great!  I actually laughed a few times while playing the Decepticon campaign, listening to everyone talk to eachother.  By the way, Megatron is a complete psychopath, which makes him a fantastic villian (and awesome military leader).  The characters are so much more relatable in this game than the movies, previous games, and even the animated series.

Achievements are fairly easy.  Most are acquired without effort while playing.  Each Chapter has a single hidden task to complete, and there is one Collectible achievement that spans across the entire campaign.  Everything is laid out simply at X360A.org.

I'm only 1/2 through the single-player portion of the game.  I've heard the multiplayer is where the game really shines, so I'm looking forward to playing it once I finished the Autobot campaign.
