A Warning about Terminator Salvation
pezking6983 | 5:54 PM on 05.20.2009 23 comments


I am saving everyone here the money. DO NOT BUY TERMINATOR SALVATION!

If you must rent it, then get it for one or two days. I rented it this morning at 10:30, played till about 12:30. Just picked it up again at 5PM and beat it 5 minutes ago. That is a whopping 3 hours of game play on the hardest setting.

On top of that the game is the obvious rushed movie tie in game. The game is a terrible GOW clone with inaccurate shooting. It only has 4 types of enemies and is the same scenario setup each level, copy and pasted into a new level. I have dubbed it the worst shooter played this year by far and I've played some shit games this year.

Yes, but can it grill?
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, when you hear the game is about 4 hours long. It's not worth sixty dollars. How come they can't just make a bad ass Terminator game that is an FPS and is team / class based. That would be perfect. Something similar to the Battlefield franchise. It would be so good! Yes, I know Terminator: War Of The Machines was released before and was the closest thing to that. But it didn't do good. I want one to come out and do good. It can be done, IT CAN HAPPEN! IT MUST! I saw there's a Terminator Source mod coming out and it looks / sounds awesome. But I have a feeling it will never happen. :(

You know I almost bought that last night, instead I got the new Bionic Commando game. I think I should have just saved my money.

Me and this game are done professionally.

Ugh. Seriously? Ouch.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
I've heard how horribly short it is. It's also hilarious that the developers fucked up the PC release and anyone who buys a retail copy of it cannot even get it to install correctly because of an installer error.

Knew it , they only showed 4 enemies ...

This mght the easiest game to get 1000 achievement points on though. There are only 8 achievements, 7 of them you get automatically for beating each level on any difficulty setting, and the 8th you get by beating the game on the hardest difficulty setting.

The graphics are so ass-terrible on the 360 version, it's almost unbelievable. Considering the length and quality of the game, though, I doubt getting it for the PS3 would really be worth it anyway.

So how was it?
WWOOOOOOOOOAAAAHHHH GOOOOOD FOR YOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!!
Cowboy TTop's Destructoid Blog
Cheers for the heads up. This was on my buy list, but now I can just get Prototype and Batman.

In case you were wondering, I rented it. I would have being flaming pissed if I bought it. Forgot to mention in the post.

Rental or not, you're serving up a PSA against wasting their time with a shitty video game. I salute you, good sir.
SuitcoatAvenger's Destructoid Blog
Egads, 3 hours? That's ridiculous. And nary a Christian Bale taunt button to be featured? Preposterous. Why can't there be a good Terminator game? Besides Robocop v.s. The Terminator, of course.

...

I'm just going to go play Robocop v.s. The Terminator.
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
I'm always skeptical about licensed stuff. Hell, I still need to play the demo for Wolverine...
Kraid's Destructoid Blog
get Bionic Commando instead it's awesome!
pezking6983's Destructoid Blog
@ KRAID.

I'm actually going back to Family Video and telling them to credit my account for the extra 4 days I have this game toward BC tomorrow. It looks decent, but far better than this abomination.
Kraid's Destructoid Blog
The story is craptastic but they nailed the swinging physics and the combat is really rewarding I loved it.

Kinda a short thought but what game isn't these days.

and if you're gonna play BC do yourself a favor and play with the Retro costume it's way cooler than this dread-douchebah calling himself Nathan Spencer.

Rearmed is 4.99$ right now , DO IT!
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I might rent it for the trophies.
falinter's Destructoid Blog
Also, the movie is shit. Bale is shit.

The TV show was the only saving grace and now its gone. Fuck.
