Product Description

From the Developer

The year is 2027. The machines of Skynet have risen, reaping a bloody harvest of human flesh across the globe. You are a soldier of Tech Com, a ragged team of human resistance fighters intent on stopping the overwhelming onslaught of cybernetic assassins in postapocalyptic Los Angeles. Your ultimate goal is to reach a time travel device in time to send Kyle Reese back to 1984, with the hope of preventing a relentless Terminator model T-800 from murdering Sarah Connor, mother of resistance leader John Connor. If you fail in your mission, the resistance will crumble, and no one will survive the rise of the machines. The fate of humanity lies in your hands.

Like everyone here, I purchased this game because I love the Terminator franchise. Well, I learned my lesson. This game is, without a doubt, the worst 3rd person shooter ever created. The "follow you" camera is so bad that you will find it frustrating just to walk down a straight hallway. In fact, it's so bad that the programmers put in a first person mode (just pull the left trigger) to try and make up for it. They didn't spend enough time on that tho, because you can't move in 1st person mode. -So don't believe the hype they have about being able to switch modes.

Worse though (and completely unforgivable) is the save game feature. While in the game, you restart at various "checkpoints" within a level. However, if you save the same and turn off your X-box for the night, you'll find yourself at the beginning of the level. Ugh. Your game isn't good enough to keep us up all night Infogrames! Put some effort into the work you do!

And finally, a person rant: who makes shooter games without multiplayer anymore?!?

On the plus side, the game makes awesome use of the Terminator world, as you're trying to get to the point where the Terminators go back to kill Sarah Connor. And the unlocking of secrets and the ability to use bonus points to unlock additional technology is awesome. But, if you really want to give this game a try, rent it. You'll be happy to have saved [money] that you can use to go out Saturday night after you've finished the game in your first half of the day.

I remember getting all excited when I ogt this, thinking this was going to to a great game. The cut scenes are kewl....gave a nice feel for the game. but play ability was frustrating. trying to aim and fire in the right direction was very frustrating...it was an okay game, but not worth [$$$]. Think they need to go back to the drawing boards for the next one, maybe even use the Halo engine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst game i've ever played, February 12, 2011

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Terminator Dawn of Fate (Video Game)

This is the worst game i've ever played. First of all, the camera angles are distracting and annoying. They move every 5 seconds and makes the game harder to play. 2: Controls are confusing. X is shoot and you can't even move in first-person. and 3: Plot was quite boring. I can not say this is a fact because i only played it for 5 min and got annoyed by the game. If you can get past these flaws, this might be the game for you.
