    Might not be the definitive Terminator game but because of its variety in gameplay and old-school shooter action, it’s certainly the best one available thus far.

    Manages to serve up a nice variety of ways to shoot the hell out of a lot of cyborgs as well as to keep things fresh and interesting throughout its relatively short, but still enjoyable 14 missions.

    With such a limited amount of differences between the experiences regardless of how many times you've beaten it, there's little in this game to keep you coming back for more.

    The levels are so big and detailed that it's a wonder they don't bring your console to a crashing halt.

    A great shoot ‘em up game that allows you to destroy almost everything in your environment and lets you take your frustrations out on hordes of other 101s. Guns, plasma rifles, tanks, helicopters: you name it, you use it.

    If nothing else, this game certainly captures the dumb, single-minded spirit of the films. I'm not a fan of the series, but I did have fun with Redemption, despite its total lack of depth. For a while, that is.

    The Redemption is not great. It is not good. But it is sure as shoes better than Atari’s first attempt at doing the license justice, Rise of the Machines, a terrible first-person shooter with more in common with "Fugitive Hunter" than "Halo."

    It’s not innovative or great in any regard, but it does provide plenty of explosions and challenge. It’s also far and away the only decent game to yet come from the franchise.
  11. Game Chronicles

    Antiquated controls combine with a lackluster storytelling technique to create a game that might have been cool five years ago.

    It feels like you're constantly going through the same motions - although there are some really cool sequences. [Oct 2004, p.75]

The graphics are not at the level of RDR2, but not too bad. Animations, physics, shooting are certainly not very good, but for a small budget it looks pretty good. With their budget, they would not have enough money for everything at once. Colapso… Full Review »
