Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition is a prequel to the Dark of the Moon film that was made exclusively for Nintendo Wii and 3DS. It differs from the console version greatly, as the entire game is played in vehicle mode without the ability to transform into robot mode. It received highly negative reviews overall.
Setting
Set directly before the movie Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, the game follows the story of the Autobots around three years after the events of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. The story follows the events and actions of both factions leading to the reactivation of Shockwave, a deadly cybertronian assassin which the Decepticons hope to employ.
Gameplay
The game is mostly a third person shooter and has players battle numerous types of enemies in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Unlike its predecessors, Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Game features a singular campaign rather than one for both sides, with players alternating between the Autobots' and the Decepticons' perspective between levels.
Campaign
Level 1: Having A Blast The initial gameplay begins when Mirage experiments with the third, hybrid mode that Que engineered into their bodies. This third form is known as Stealth Force Mode. The entire wii variant of the game is either played in this hybrid mode or in vehicle mode leaving no choice for transformation into their robot mode.For new players, the game will guide you through the first level and give you tips on how to play. A wii remote and a wii nunchuck is required for this game.
Level 2: Infiltration Bumblebee is sent on a mission to destroy as many Decepticons as possible and break into their lair.

Level 5: Satellite Reception Que is uploading a trace program via the terminals that Bumblebee activated, but the Decepticons know what the Autobots are up to and attempt to destroy the uplink servers. Que informs Optimus that if even one of the terminals are destroyed, all is lost. Optimus makes it his mission to protect all of the uplink servers, hoping Bumblebee makes it out alive.
