*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This game in my opinion is a messy pile of crap. Bad graphics, bad lock on system, inaccuracy on weaponry, and annoying levels were you can have trouble figuring the game out. The A.I is bad. They do the same thing every time. And the 3rd person fights in this game are more a manner of luck. You pull of a grab, so does the other fighter. You almost always finish near dead. When I played in the future I kept saying that I'll soon be in the present with real guns. But all the real guns don't work right. (Or look right) All the guns fire slow in present, the sights on them were guessed, and the 30 cal looks like a future gun. This game had a few okay parts but this isn't a fun game. The only enjoyable part is the T:Redemption demo, but just buy the real game. I'd give the demo a 7/10. If you see this game in a store, stand in front of it tell tell others to look away. Wear a big sign.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsAs The Terminator,you must race down alleyways in a compound under attack from armies sent by Skynet.You must try to preserve your ammo and grenades for priorities only,so as not to risk running out of them.This is a slick,stylish,well-made game,with impressive enough graphics and game play visuals.It would be nice if targeting the people you are supposed to be firing at was a little easier,although,as frustrating as this can be,it does make it all the more rewarding when you do hit them.Another downer is,as said,the very limited amount of gunfire and grenades you are allotted and the inability to reload in any way.When you have run out,the only available alternative is to wave your fists at all the gun toting robots and machines that are firing powerful gunfire in your direction?!?Having said that,when you're on a winning streak with it,it is a very thrilling and rewarding game,and certainly beats the inferior movie it is based on.Well,it's on my christmas list,that's for sure.****

This game can be fun at points I mean being Arnold, blowing up a lot of stuff, shooting down those planes that were in the movie, actually challenges you it's a difficult game, and some other things. These are the things that I don't really like about the game it gets frustrating when you die and you have to start the whole level over again, sometimes the objectives aren't that clear of what they want you to do, and I wish it was alittle longer. Overall ** and a half **** only because of not knowing all of what to do everything else is pretty good.

I've seen a review for this game in Game Informer Magazine, and saw that they gave this game an unearthly 5.75/10 score, which turned me away from this game, since I normally listen to their opinions. I rented out this game anyway just last night, and boy, was I in for a surprise.This game was actually better than such a score. The mag gave Dawn of Fate a higher score, and that was WORSER than this! T3 was very well-done in my opinion, and is probably the greatest Atari achievement to date. The graphics are spectacular, and the sound is bearable (the Terminator theme song is also here, which adds to the sound goodness). Even though gameplay is SAID to be frustrating, once you start getting into it, you will not have a problem at all. Speaking of the gameplay, the environments are interactive, but don't expect everything to blow wide open upon smacking it with a Micro Rocket Launcher. Also, if you press the Select button, you can go into the T-850's famous Infrared Vision mode, allowing you to see just what a Terminator would see. I'm only on the first few levels of the game, but it's already looking very nice. Also, if you play through the game enough, you will be able to unlock two classic Atari games, "Centipede" and "Missile Command." They can be unlocked through cheat passwords, but you can also find their arcade consoles lying around some levels (so far I've only found the Missile Command game).The disc also includes a demo of T3: Redemption, and upcoming Terminator game. From what I've played on the demo, Redemption looks VERY good enjoyable, which is actually a level where you get to play as the T-850 (this time in 3rd-Person view) and track-shoot your way through, allowing you to fire your weapon and control the vehicle at the same time, also being able to acquire new vehicles to commandeer (even enemy vehicles!). It seems as though Atari is going to further places with the Terminator than one would expect.One more thing: I take back what I said about this game in my Operation: Surma review. I played O:S BEFORE playing this game, and I was just running off with what I've been told about this game.T3: Rise of the Machines--7.25/10 T3: Redemption Demo--8/10
