    This game is a love letter to fans of the franchise. It's the third Terminator film people wanted all along and brings the story full circle in a masterful way. My only complaint is that it's too short, but it's a hell of a ride. The best review/video to watch is the one from Civvie 11.

    We got lots of customization, gun upgrades, fan service weaponry, good crafting, exploration, small RPG dialog sequences that allow you to interact with characters in both small and large ways. We got sex scenes as well which took me completely by surprise because I had no idea how deep they'd go with their story aspect.

    Again, this game just came out of nowhere and I ended up feeling like I was playing a Metro in the Terminator universe. Its so freaking great. The voice acting is quite good, map design is very open and you can go about handling enemies in a variety of ways that all work well and aren't feeling generic.    … Expand

    Game has great terminator atmosphere, music is movie-like and awesome, shooting mechanics, story is also great.
    Graphics are just good but doesnt stopped me from playing - its enjoable.
    The only bad thing is AI of terminators, it's AI and future but when you shoot enemy and hide after 30s they forget about you, they have problems going toward you etc but still its just a game ;) Solid 9    Game has great terminator atmosphere, music is movie-like and awesome, shooting mechanics, story is also great.

    Great game for any Terminator fan. Best made for the franchise to date. If your not a fan of the Terminator movies than it's probably not the game for you.

    Competent shooter, nothing spectacular or genre changing. Some minor rpg elements and a bit of freedom to explore and choose your missions or side missions.

    To summarize, I recommend for fans of the franchise, not so much for anyone else.

    The best game from the universe of the Terminator franchise. Well, graphics are not great but the whole gameplay is fine. Scary missions, great atmosphere. Game is pushing you to think and it is not the another "destroy everything face to face" shootout.. Like it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Em primeiro lugar: Ignore a avaliação da crítica especializada do site, pois ela não condiz com a realidade do jogo.
    Segundo: Não espere que este seja um jogo com "gráficos realistas de última geração" pois eles parecem um tanto datados remetendo ao PS3.
    Terceiro: Não sou um grande fan da franquia, então não tenho e nem tive expectativas quanto a jogo algum do Terminator, seja ele de qual console for.
    Porém que o jogo entrega uma experiência muito boa da proposta de uma "Guerra Contra as Máquinas" ao estilo que os primeiros filmes mostram.
    O inicio é um tanto chato e pode enganar, mas o que vem em seguida é um jogo FPS em mundo semi-aberto com elementos de RPG em ambientes urbanos apocalipticos em meio a operações de busca em estilo Furtivo(stealth) e combates massivos contra várias máquinas.

    Não é um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida e nem está entre os primeiros, mas este me prendeu a atenção e recomendo a qualquer um que deseje experimenta-lo.    … Expand

    I'm seriously impressed. Get it for $40 if you love terminator and want to support the developers fully so they make more games like this, but if you see it for $30 you cannot pass this up. Seriously the fan service is amazing. They need to do an aliens and then a predator game.    … Expand

    It might be derivative, with old mechanics for today’s standards, with some bugs, old graphic and all. But this is the best Terminator thing after T1 and T2 masterpieces.

    If you're looking for the best graphics, or the most innovative game play, this isn't the game for you. But if you enjoy the Terminator movies (all 2 of them), and enjoy smaller games, this is perfect for you. The story tries to create a real sequel to the second movie and mostly manages to do so.

    Right, first of all I just can not understand why many companies have reviewed this game so low! I have just completed it for the fifth time and about to start it again, even though there are no incentives at all to play through again once completed (e.g. new enemies, different costumes, weapons etc.)

I have just completed it for the fifth time and about to start it again, even though there are no incentives at all to play through again once completed (e.g. new enemies, different costumes, weapons etc.)

    Ok, maybe the fact that the first Terminator movie is my favourite movie of all time is one of the reasons I enjoyed this game so much.

    But there is still so much to like.. Likeable characters throughout with great engagement and interaction, multiple choice endings dependant on the choices you make throughout the game. And oh the music, is just.. incredible! From the title screen right up until the credits screen, the music is mindblowingly good! The graphics admittedly could be better (this is where it’s plain obvious that this game was made on a small budget) but they’re not the worst in the world, and lighting effects are up there with some of the best I’ve ever seen in a videogame! The moonlight, the fire.. just beautiful!

    It’s a long game too if you want to enjoy and explore, collect everything and complete all of the side missions. There’s always plenty to do and it just never gets boring.

    Probably my favourite parts of the game are the hideout and shelter ‘lobby’ parts. They are so cosy, makes you feel right at home and the nostalgia feels are immense (the shelter is taken straight out of the future flashback scenes in the first Terminator movie)

    The final battle is absolutely epic! Exciting, adrenaline pumping, action packed, drama packed with possibly the best music I’ve ever heard in my life once you’re at the final part.

    I’m getting emotional writing this because of just how good the game is and how disappointed I am with the reviews I’ve read on it.

    I do feel that a lot of care and effort was put in to creating this game. Probably more so than was put into all of the movies after the first two legendary titles.

    I agree that you’d probably have to be a major Teminator fan to fully appreciate this game, but then, who the hell isn’t one?!

    Great game, fully recommend. Buy it, I love it and I doubt you’d be disappointed!

Ademas de estar integrado con las 2 primeras peliculas, siendo una historia sencilla pero efectiva. Los graficos son muy genericos pero lo compensa con diversion.

    tl;dr: a actually good terminator game, wtf.

    there is something special with the terminator franchise for kids born in the late 80ies, who grew up with the movies on vhs. something all the movies since T2 failed to capture...until now. As I sat there as a kid, watching the short future war sequence, I always wanted there to be...more. Sadly, it took more than 20 years to deliver.    tl;dr: a actually good terminator game, wtf.

    As I sat there as a kid, watching the short future war sequence, I always wanted there to be...more.

    Sadly, it took more than 20 years to deliver. But as I started the game, and heard the still awesome soundtrack, it finally arrived. It's hard to describe how I felt inside, once I had to hide from the first T800, with that pumping machine drone sound in the background and with a completely useless weapon in my hand.

    Later in the game, you reach a resistance hideout and it looked so...right. I instantly started to look for a burning tv set...and I found it...I was finally there....*tears up*

    Still, if you want to be really honest, this is a just-above-mediocre oldschool shooter. The KI isn't good, and the animations of the non-terminator npcs look quite clunky, but I don't care. This is what I always wanted, since Kyle Reese told me about the dogs.

    Terminator Resistance is yet another faulty game based on a movie. The fanservice is the best part of the entire game. Next to that, the graphics are bad, the Terminators are not that intelligent or frightening, and the world and missions are not interesting. Which could have been a shooter to remember has turned out to be another bad part in a series of bad iterations.
