    What an awful game this is. Its gameplay isn't executed that well, the controls aren't good, the graphics are awful and it lacks the concept of the film. Another thing that makes this game are the fighting levels, these parts are terrible and choppy; this fails to be a good game for the least part of it. Even Centipede and Space Invaders being added extras couldn't save this garbage.

    It's cool, i wish the alternate screen was a little easier on the eyes though. All the info it shows is cool, but i can't look at red throughout the whole game, maybe if it was more like the normal view.

    During the time, the FPS genre didn't have to much importance, many games tried and other ( not to many) were able to be in top, ex:Halo, so this licensed game lacks the concept, and fails to be at least a decent game. The most laughable thing in this crap is that it also has fighting levels or genre on it, thats idiotic.

    Having never played this game before and coming round to it now in a retro session I had the other day. I can honestly say, it's pretty bad. Something about it kept me playing though. Once you get used to the instant lock-on button and get some good weapons you'll be breezing through this. Buggy in some of the levels and just a general feel of mediocrity.

Not a penny more though.… Expand

    The atmosphere of the game is very dark and the fog effects are very messed up. The drawing distance is too low. A mediocre game like every movie game.

    What made me do all the missions of this crap was simply the aim that is automatic because if it weren't for it the game would be unplayable since the gameplay is bad the animations,
    ,horrible graphics Up to 2003. The only positive point of the game is the destruction of the scenery when there is a barrel nearby, this is eye-popping in 2003

    But the saddest part has to be the staggering number of people who worked on this thing, including some well-respected developers. Just check the credits from the manual. I’m not counting them all, but that’s about 400 names.

    Playing T3 was a joyless experience, and only our loyalty to the Big Man kept us playing.

    Terminated on Arrival. It's so slow and mundane that you won't even feel like you're playing a game that's based on the movie.
