Right, first of all I just can not understand why many companies have reviewed this game so low! I have just completed it for the fifth time and about to start it again, even though there are no incentives at all to play through again once completed (e.g. new enemies, different costumes, weapons etc.)
Ok, maybe the fact that the first Terminator movie is my favourite movie of all time is one of the reasons I enjoyed this game so much.
But there is still so much to like.. Likeable characters throughout with great engagement and interaction, multiple choice endings dependant on the choices you make throughout the game. And oh the music, is just.. incredible! From the title screen right up until the credits screen, the music is mindblowingly good!
The graphics admittedly could be better (this is where it’s plain obvious that this game was made on a small budget) but they’re not the worst in the world, and lighting effects are up there with some of the best I’ve ever seen in a videogame! The moonlight, the fire.. just beautiful!
It’s a long game too if you want to enjoy and explore, collect everything and complete all of the side missions. There’s always plenty to do and it just never gets boring.
Probably my favourite parts of the game are the hideout and shelter ‘lobby’ parts. They are so cosy, makes you feel right at home and the nostalgia feels are immense (the shelter is taken straight out of the future flashback scenes in the first Terminator movie)
The final battle is absolutely epic! Exciting, adrenaline pumping, action packed, drama packed with possibly the best music I’ve ever heard in my life once you’re at the final part.
I’m getting emotional writing this because of just how good the game is and how disappointed I am with the reviews I’ve read on it.
I do feel that a lot of care and effort was put in to creating this game. Probably more so than was put into all of the movies after the first two legendary titles.
I agree that you’d probably have to be a major Teminator fan to fully appreciate this game, but then, who the hell isn’t one?!
Great game, fully recommend. Buy it, I love it and I doubt you’d be disappointed!
