    What a disappointment. This could of been something great, instead you get 10 so-so maps, crappy AI, bots that can't use vehicles for more than 10 feet, skynet vehicles that never get used by bots, an ugly red lens for skynet that is useless. After 2 hours of play, you've pretty much are done with single play. Single play is completely pointless.

    This game has an awesome online playing mode it's just like tribes 2 no missions just play with real people or practice by yourself and you can create your own servers.

    I love vehicle team based shooters, and i love Terminator movies, so it seemed like a good combination. Unfortunately, the game is not that great. Graphics is bad, weopons and vehicles are not realistic at all, special effects are bad, everything looks the same. Oh well, back to playing Renegade:(

    Very disappointing if they didn't rush making this game it would of been enjoyable the single player mode sucks bad the bot AI is rubbish they are dumb. The graphics well i guess its nothing compared to todays games graphics. sky net have that red vision thing which makes it hard to see but there is an option to turn it off. I wouldn't recommend this game unless u have broadband Very disappointing if they didn't rush making this game it would of been enjoyable the single player mode sucks bad the bot AI is rubbish they are dumb.

I wouldn't recommend this game unless u have broadband or higher. In the netplay the game is better than single player but there is no admin for your server so u can't kick high pinger u can't change map bla bla bla. Don't buy this game unless ur a TerminaTor Freak.… Expand

    If you really want realistic graphics, I recommend buying Ati Readeon 9800 pro graphics card.

    Horrible. It's no Battlefield 1942. It's no Skynet from years ago either.

    This game is suprisingly stable. Gets boring pretty fast, doesn't look very nice, but it's flaws are more conceptual than proceedural. The server browser isn't work jack, but BF2's isn't either.

    This installment lacks: detail in the enivorments, non-retarded AI at times and flamethowers! I mean how can you not talk WWII in the pacific and not talk flamethowers! On the up side there are a few decent tidbits to enhance gameplay... this is good but not the medal of honor that i am used to.

    Could have been worse, The gameplay was suppose to be great if only the enemy A.I. (Skynet) was sm art and ain't dumb. Another reason why the gameplay is mediocre is that the multiplayer is well: TERMINATED.
    You can't access it cause of the lousy CD-Key they gave you. So you can only play singleplayer. It's not a bad game, but not a great one either, for me it's just another time-killing    Could have been worse, The gameplay was suppose to be great if only the enemy A.I.

If you have nothing to do or waiting for someone or waiting for a movie then play it. But I warn you if you buy the game Skynet wins.    … Expand

    Да... это неумелая копирка Battledield, но...
    Игра очень даже атмосферная, но всё портят УЖАСНО тупые боты, если бы не они, то оценка была выше. И какая же ностальгия у меня от этой игры...
    Лучше не играйте, если не испытываете ностальгических чувств к этой игре.    Да... это неумелая копирка Battledield, но...

    A sim of Arnie’s election campaign would be more entertaining.

    Playing alone with bots is unbearable - the AI players run into walls and can't aim for squat. [Apr 2004, p.74]

    If just one copy of Terminator 3 gets bought anywhere in the world, then I have failed as both a game reviewer and a member of the human race...Hollow lifeless dreck.
