    This game is not bad, in it's way.... gameplay is taken from Gears of war, and if that entertained you than salvation will do. No, the problem are others: its way too damn short (no more than 4-5 hours....) and level design sucks. In gow the cover system tried to be realistic, here the covers just seems to be the outer wall where the robots (ah: only 3 kind of them btw-boss excluded) This game is not bad, in it's way.... gameplay is taken from Gears of war, and if that entertained you than salvation will do.

In gow the cover system tried to be realistic, here the covers just seems to be the outer wall where the robots (ah: only 3 kind of them btw-boss excluded) can walk. You only have to circle them and shoot while your "comrades" (usefull only as bait) keep them facing away from you. Nice rail-track section tough, on cars and train. In the end is fun, that much is true.... but its not worth its 50$ tag. When will be more around 20$ or less go for it: you liked gow, you'll like this too. Abut the rest.... graphic isn't bad, altough its functional at its best. No glory, no shame. Sound is ok: acting is passable, the soundtrack is the terminator's one (And it kicks ass). Th story is uninspired but not that much stupid.… Expand

    The graphics and the sounds are okay. The game is linear and too short, 2-3 hours long. Only 4-5 type of enemies, but the game was good i think.

    Ok game is not actualy that bad. It is an obvious console conversion that wa snot finished but what is there is not bad. If you are a fan of the terminator story line then this is an almost must. As it explains where alot of the characters come from. There is a fair amount of weapons and the cover system is awsome (Best to date). It has its flaws but the gameplay is playable and a must forOk game is not actualy that bad. It is an obvious console conversion that wa snot finished but what is there is not bad.

    Сама идея поиграть за Джона Коннора, в сражениях и декорациях будущего, отличная, но кривая реализация всю идею убила.

    Standard Movie licensed game, which is forgettable.
    Maybe story is not same as that shown in movie, but still not interesting, with 2-3 types of enemies XD
    Major flaw is that its to easy and too short.

    Pretty nice linear game. It was based on the well known brand. Graphic was pretty nice

    This bare-bones movie tie-in is like a machine with synthetic rubber skin: it's not fooling anyone and you should stay away from it.

    While the game is fun, especially with a partner on the couch, the lack of boss battles, no online multiplayer matching, and only a handful of hours of content make this game little more than a solid rental.

    I've never played such a boring game as Terminator Salvation: The Videogame. The game is repetitive and the storytelling very shallow. It's a big plus that finishing the game will only take you about three to four hours. Even the very reasonable cover system can't let you enjoy this simple and boring movie game.
