This review is from: Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines (Video Game)

Terminator 3 :Rise of the Machines the movie has already extended the borders of the trilogy's universe more than we have known before ,it took the story in a completely new paths ,but in doing so the movie left some unanswered questions ,the fans of the series were racing to put theories to fill the gaps ,now the Terminator 3 The game has finally come to answer some of your questions .

First of all this game as we all know isn't the first game based on the legendary series ,many games appeared on older consoles and it's not even the first PS2 game features the mighty terminator ,the first game(Dawn Of Fate) was absolutely mediocre experience ,and beside that none of the previous games have featured the character of Arnold Schwarzenegger completed with face's features and voice ,now all of that is included in this new game ,promising to give a thrilling experience for both the series' fans and the gamers ,also the game features all the characters from the movie with their voice and features ,And the motion capturing technology provided here gives a feel of amazing realism ,The game also features an extensive cut scenes and there are some cinematic scenes filmed especially for the game .

The game itself is actually two games bundled in one ,The story follows the events of the movie very closely ,And a great feature here that the events is played according to the Terminator's (Arnie) point of view ,With the lovely red screen which scans the targets and collect primal and advanced information about them ,The game launches in a first person mode ,So you are guaranteed to blow up all the obstacles in front of you ,Ins some movie's scenes like the Cemetery Scene which is implemented in the game you will feel the thrill in destroying the police's vehicles but there are a very big different here ,Where in the movie we see Arnie insures that there are no human causalities in the battle ,In the game you will be given the option to make causalities or not ,depends on your respect for the human lives!

Other sections of the game will turn into third person view ,That's in the section where you meet some enemies like the Female Terminator X ,In this you will have the ability for hand fighting ,This will be repeated in various parts of the game ,Every one of them with different purpose ,Also there will be different weapons to accompany you during the journey ,Ranging from the ordinary guns to more advanced futuristic weapons ,All at your service!

As noted in this review's title there will be some questions which weren't answered in the movie and will be answered in the game ,Sort of interaction like the MATRIX game ,But here it's different because the game and the movie are not parallel ,They have the same story line but the game sheds the light on some dark spots in the series' world ,Including some questions about time travel which is a very vital element in the game because we see the terminator moves back and forth in the time's tunnels ,And that helps you to uncover the mysteries ,One final thing to note that the staff of the movie have been involved in some way or another with the game developer's to insure that the game is essential thing for the movie ,So it's guaranteed to give you the same look and feel of the movie and the series itself ,All of that promises a very huge adventure and enjoyable experience .

The Rectifier (Harrisburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines (Video Game)

Finally a chance to be the Terminator! This is cool! I paid full price for this game, and I still think it was worth it - even though I see amazon.com is already giving $20 off now. I played from Friday night to Sunday night and beat the game on the Easy level. I enjoyed the destruction and the actual actors from the third movie doing the voices.

I don't see why gamespot's reviewers gave it such a low rating. I also can't figure out why some of the reviewers here say you can play as a human? Would someone please tell me how?

If you enjoyed the Terminator series and/or enjoy first person shooter games, you should give this one a try. Nice weapon selection - I finally got a chance to use a Phase Plasma Rifle (I assume it was a 40-watt range model).

This movie based game has it all. It has awsome graphics and gameplay, plus there are movie scenes. You get to play as Arnold Schwarzenegger in T3's plot plus an extended storyline. Fans of the movie or action lovers should definitaly buy this game.It is one action title you can't miss.
