  • Summary: 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 upon stopping the overwhelming onslaught of cybernetic assassins in post-apocalyptic 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. [Infogrames]… Expand

    It’s just too bad T:DoF didn’t aspire to be more than something standard.

    Fate also dispenses with T2’s cyborg-boy love plot, so you can focus on blasting titanium drones into nuts and bolts.

    The gameplay isn't particularly good, though it's decent enough that fans of the film series might as well consider checking out the game.

    The whole look and feel of the game suggests that most of the budget was splurged on the licence alone, leaving very little left in the kitty for production values or a solitary new idea. [PSM2]

    I thought that this game was overall excellent minus a few cheesy details. The tasks could have been more challenging and the bots tougher, and where is Arnold!!… Expand

    The game itself could have been thought out a little better, the camera angles are very iritating. this game would have been much better as a first person shooter, but overall i found the storyline and game play to be quite good. NEARLY BRILLIANT!… Expand

    This game inspired by the Terminator universe is a generic and mediocre experience overall. First off, the gameplay and camera angles rip off from Devil May Cry, which makes it harder to get in to; the graphics are choppy, the music in the game is dull material from metal artists Fear Factory. It's story is neat, but could of been told better. It is a very simple game to get through, but their are elements that could of been improved.… Expand
