    It's definitely fun to be thrown into the Terminator universe, you feel like you're right in the movie as in the beginning of Terminator 2. However, the camera issues that all these reviews are talking about does hinder your enjoyment of the game very much so. This aside (and it's a big THIS), I found the game enjoyable and would recommend it to any fan of the movie.

  1. The camera system is utterly dreadful. If you can handle the camera and enjoyed the Terminator movies then Dawn of Fate will entertain you.

    Inexcusably awful. [Fall 2002, p.115]

    If the developers would have allowed control over the camera or possibly even made this a first person shooter totally, I would have given this game a much higher rating. But the combat system, cinematics, and storyline easily make up for that downfall.
