* BoringButPractical: Starscream's Null Reactor is relatively mundane compared to the cooler-looking specials of other characters; for a few seconds, his attacks slow down enemies and deal extra damage. But due to its extremely quick recharge time, he has one of the highest [=DPS=] numbers of the entire playable cast, which when combined with his quick vehicle mode makes him one of the best options for obtaining platinum times.



* MotorMouth: Sam's dialogue is usually delivered in an extremely fast manner.



* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Like in the movie, Grindor is pretty much Blackout V2, with a nearly identical vehicle mode, robot mode and weaponry. The game files even label Grindor as Blackout, suggesting either the devs either weren't aware they were different characters, or Grindor was meant to be Blackout in early drafts.

* VocalDissonance: The cowardly and sniveling Starscream, who usually has the screechy voice to match, is here a GutturalGrowler like in the first film. As a matter of fact, he has the deepest voice of all the Decepticons, even deeper than Megatron or the Fallen. The change to Starscream's voice evidently was a late decision in production as while Starscream still sounds this way in the game, he has Charlie Adler's unprocessed voice in the movie. Adler's unprocessed voice is also used for his G1 skin.

* TheBadGuyWins: Surprisingly averted. Unlike the previous game, where the Decepticons won a decisive victory in their campaign, in this, the Fallen is still killed and the Star Harvester is still destroyed, thoroughly foiling the Decepticons' schemes. The only silver lining for them is that Megatron and Starscream have a new army to command. This ending is taken from the original script of the movie.

* DeathByAdaptation: The Autobot campaign, which adapts most of the plot of the movie, sees Jetfire be mortally wounded some time before the final battle at the Star Harvester. Grindor also falls in battle before the same fight in Cairo which is roughly analogous to the forest battle in the film where he met his end.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Decepticons seem to get along well enough but hate Starscream with a passion, and only tolerate him because he's the most powerful Decepticon and can't really be challenged, and because they know The Fallen is the one really in charge.

[[quoteright:291:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rotf_game_cover.png]]
A video-game by Luxoflux that doubles as both a sequel to the 2007 ''VideoGame/TransformersTheGameConsole'' and a LicensedGame adaptation of the 2009 film ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''.

Like most Transformers games, there's an Autobot and Decepticon campaign to choose from. The game follows the BroadStrokes of the movies, detailing the globe-trotting war between the Autobot-NEST Alliance and the Decepticons as they battle in Shanghai, Burbank, Princeton, New York City, the Laurentian Abyss, and Cairo. It's a ThirdPersonShooter and is considered an improvement upon its predecessor in every facet. Aside from its singleplayer campaigns, the game was renowned for its multiplayer mode.

It had three different versions, all with completely different plots: the Xbox 360/Playstation 3 console version, the Wii version, and the Nintendo DS version.
----
!!''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' contains examples of:
*AdaptationalVillainy: The Fallen is even more despicable than his film counterpart, [[spoiler:betraying his most loyal minion.]]
*AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the movie, Jetfire was a foul-mouthed old Cockney grouch. In the game, he's a wise, soft-spoken, posh sage.
*AdaptedOut: Skidz, Mudflap, and Wheelie are absent. [[TheScrappy To no one's dismay.]]
*BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: In the Decepticon campaign, all the Autobots have to do is sit back and let [[spoiler:Megatron slay the Fallen.]]
*TheBadGuyWins: Surprisingly averted. Unlike the previous game, where the Decepticons won a decisive victory in their campaign, in this, the Fallen is still killed and the Star Harvester is still destroyed, thoroughly foiling the Decepticons' schemes. The only silver lining for them is that Megatron and Starscream have a new army to command. This ending is taken from the original script of the movie.
*CanonForeigner: Breakaway was made specifically for the game, to give the Autobots their token flight-based character.
*DualBoss: Megatron and Starscream and Bumblebee and Jetfire are fought.
*EscortMission: In Shanghai, Ratchet escorts a wounded Ironhide and Sideways escorts a wounded Grindor.
*FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In the Autobots campaign, there's no way to stop Megatron from resurrecting in the Deep Six level.
*FinalBoss: The Fallen, just like in the movie. [[spoiler:He's this for both campaigns.]]
*GodhoodSeeker: Megatron's goal in this is to become a Prime, as it's what the Fallen promised him.
*MissionControl: Optimus is this for the Autobots, while Soundwave and the Fallen are this for the Decepticons.
*NonStandardCharacterDesign: All of the Transformers are humanoids in roughly the same size range except for Demolisher and Devastator, who are giant, monstrous metal {{Kaiju}} that only appear as bosses in the Autobot campaign.
*SuddenlyVoiced: Grindor and Sideways are given voices.
*TheUnfought: Soundwave in the Autobots campaign and Ratchet in the Decepticon campaign.
*{{Retraux}}: Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream all get G1 skins.
*SparedByAdaptation: Surprisingly, Optimus doesn't die in either campaign, not even the Decepticon one, even when he's defeated.
*TheSvengali: The Fallen's mentorship of Megatron is built on the lie that he can bestow Primehood onto him.
*TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler:The Fallen is this to Megatron, serving as his MissionControl all game before betraying him.]]
*VocalDissonance: The cowardly and sniveling Starscream, who usually has the screechy voice to match, is here a GutturalGrowler. As a matter of fact, he has the deepest voice of all the Decepticons, even deeper than Megatron or the Fallen. Funnily enough, in his G1 skin, he's given a high-pitched voice filter.
*TheVoiceless: Subverted. Unlike in the movie, Bumblebee's voice box is fixed, so he talks normally.
*VillainProtagonist: The Decepticons in their respective campaign.
