    With a fast and frantic single player with all the trimmings, plus the voice and image of Arnie, I can't complain one bit.
  2. Each character is strikingly similar in appearance to the movie actors.
  3. Focuses on what it wants to be, and it does it very well. Terminator fans have a reason to smile, and this game is money well spent for them.

    Surpisingly but appealingly worth your time and money. [Nov 2004, p.84]

    Not only is it the best Arnold or Terminator-themed game ever (which isn't saying all that much), but it's also one of the best licensed games around. [Oct 2004, p.127]

    While the hand-to-hand stuff won't win any awards, the deep selection of vehicles (from pickup trucks to high-tech battle tanks) and the frenetic pace of the game more than make up for it.
  7. Quite enjoyable although nothing particularly innovative.
  8. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a trip to see this kind of fare at your local Odeon – lots of noise, lots of effects, dialogue kept to a minimum – it's a real rollercoaster of a ride (damn, that's a cliché if ever I wrote one.)
  9. Besides a few ideas that are executed poorly, the gameplay is varied, making it a fun experience. But its biggest problem is amount of gameplay, which is limited.

    Terminator 3: The Redemption, un juego como los de antaño, en el buen y en el mal sentido, lo digo por la dificultad artificial, injusta aTerminator 3: The Redemption, un juego como los de antaño, en el buen y en el mal sentido, lo digo por la dificultad artificial, injusta a veces, que hace que pierdas la paciencia y quieras cambiar de juego. La falta de explicación de qué se debe hacer en ciertos niveles hace que te pierdas, y hablando de niveles, si haces una misión de 7-8 minutos y fracasas, toca empezar de 0 el nivel. Sin revelar el final del juego, diré que es una secuencia que tienes que hacer perfectamente, no se permite ningún fallo por parte del jugador. Pero aún así este juego tiene algo que me hace rejugarlo cada cierto tiempo, al menos los primeros niveles, no es malo, pero por todo lo dicho anteriormente le doy un 6. Full Review »

    This is what T3: Rise of the Machines should have been! An outstanding combination of story with non-stop suspense.

    Incredible high octane fun. The repetition can grind a bit, but this is greatly off-set by original ideas and thrill a minute gameplay. The Incredible high octane fun.
