I Won't Be Back

Before I start this review, I want to put it out there that "The Terminator" is in my top 5 movies of all time. I have seen Terminator 2: Judgement Day what feels like a million times, and even went to the Premiere for Terminator 3 in London (Got to chat to Arnie!) - so you could say I'm a huge fan of the franchise... This game just disappointed me on so many levels. Literally. Each mission felt like a scavenger hunt: "Go and look for survivors" "Go and find some tools" "Go and look for ..." You get the picture. Each mission required me to enter a pretty empty map, kill a few 'spider scouts' and 'armoured spider scouts' before finding said item and returning it back to the Hideout. Yes, little Jimmy does just sit there staring into space for eternity The graphics aren't too bad, a little bit close with the FOV, but otherwise half-decent, I did notice the same items dotted everywhere and some of the textures are quite low resolution, but it was okay. Sound-wise, the voice acting is mediocre and I found myself skipping conversations if they started speaking and sounding dull. I did enjoy the sounds of the weapons, but just wish there was more shooting to hear them. I hope one day that we get a decent Terminator game, but for me at least, this certainly isn't it. Pros • Music is Terminator-esq • The T-800 on the Menu Page looks cool • Weapons sound pretty cool Cons • Repetitive and boring missions • Lack of Enemy numbers makes the game feel empty • Lacklustre and desolate environments • Uninteresting story. ——— Original ratings: • Visual Design: 7/10 • Sound Design: 7/10 • Gameplay: 5/10 • Longevity: 5/10 • Fun: 5/10
