    With a fast and frantic single player with all the trimmings, plus the voice and image of Arnie, I can't complain one bit. And when you've completed the game with a high score there's some decent cheats to unlock that enrich it even more.

    Not only is it the best Arnold or Terminator-themed game ever (which isn't saying all that much), but it's also one of the best licensed games around. [Oct 2004, p.127]
  3. 80
    While the hand-to-hand stuff won't win any awards, the deep selection of vehicles (from pickup trucks to high-tech battle tanks) and the frenetic pace of the game more than make up for it.
  4. Definitely one of the best Terminator games since the old coin-op light gun shooter based on 1991's "Judgment Day."
  5. Nintendo Power

    A solid and enjoyable action title with great control and gritty graphics. [Nov 2004, p.131]
  6. The main game though remains a solid arcade experience and for T-800 fanatics this really is the closest you're likely to come at the moment of actually experiencing the excitement of being in a Terminator Movie.
  7. Besides a few ideas that are executed poorly, the gameplay is varied, making it a fun experience. But its biggest problem is amount of gameplay, which is limited.
  8. We're happy to report that it's actually pretty good.

    The game looks atmospheric, good soundtrack. The graphics are not at the level of RDR2, but not too bad. Animations, physics, shooting areThe game looks atmospheric, good soundtrack. 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 »
