Really? I love the battle animation big time! The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the movement animation. Based off the video they look like there just sliding like chess pieces. They could have at least included that tid bit of detail. Only gripe because I felt they could have at least showed your autobots/decepticons walk across the levels. Agreed. The color and detail in battle animation really is one of the main reasons I am getting this game. I do love the amount of content offered so far based off the review, pics, and vids.
