    This game is far better than any of those released in the last 4 months. But you should play it on hard! Graphically and visually the game is perfect. Plus the world created is so real and the machines DO incorporate so inpecably that this game will be one of my favourites. Though the gameplay hours are short - the locations are made very detailed and you can pass hours looking around. AI This game is far better than any of those released in the last 4 months. But you should play it on hard! Graphically and visually the game is perfect. Plus the world created is so real and the machines DO incorporate so inpecably that this game will be one of my favourites. Though the gameplay hours are short - the locations are made very detailed and you can pass hours looking around. AI is quite good, (as smart as a machine should be) but the oponents quite tough. The sound is unbelievable - you will recognize all the samples from the Terminator and Terminator 2. The game will remind you of those 2 movies as well. If you remember many years ago there was a game, Terminator 2029. I had been waiting for that game very long. Though it was not good it gave some splashes of the L.A. 2029, which was cool. But overall T2029 was a failure. T: Salvation is EXACTLY what I wanted to see from T2029 and I recommend everyone to play this game. It looks like an interactive movie, you'll like it. Just don't hurry to run it through - be attentive to the details.… Expand

    The repetitive missions and lack of any replayability can make the few short hours spent in 2016 barely tolerable, and don't justify any more than a rental from anyone. While it's far from the worst movie tie-in this generation, it does little to change the stigma, and is best left untouched on store shelves.

    To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It’s an insult to anyone who plays games for more than an hour or two a year. Grin should be tarred and feathered in public for this, for failing in so many basic areas, and making some of the most feared machines in the world as impotent as cross-eyed rabbits. Avoid at all costs, and because it lacks any form of incentive to replay, I will, most definitely not, be back.

    As gamers, we are well accustomed to the fate of movie-related games, which is why Salvation is such a disappointment. It has some solid combat, perhaps the best cover-system to date, and the foundation for a captivating plot, but the game lacks any sort of scope.
