Its just too bad T:DoF didnt aspire to be more than something standard.
-
80Fate also dispenses with T2s cyborg-boy love plot, so you can focus on blasting titanium drones into nuts and bolts.
-
61The gameplay isn't particularly good, though it's decent enough that fans of the film series might as well consider checking out the game.
-
61The action isnt quite as fulfilling or diverse as one might expect.
-
60The game itself is just plain sloppy....horrible camera and grippy controls. [Dec 2002, p.40]
-
Wallows in mediocrity. [Oct 2002, p.84]
-
60You'd have more fun watching both movies than playing this game.
-
60The major bones of contention are the clunky controls, clumsy camera, and awkward targeting system.
-
60Hey, we liked the hordes of emotionless cyborgs with nothing better to do than march towards certain destruction, but expect many to tire of the simple AI.
-
Save for the perspective glitches indicative of an older engine, Dawn of Fate delivers a fitting game based on the resilient Terminator franchise. [Oct 2002, p.76]
-
56This all-style/little-substance attempt at artistic greatness is saved only because of its convincingly recreated Hollywood atmosphere.
-
It looks great and promising but in the end, it's like the ten-minute sequence we saw in the film-merely a glimpse of what could be done.
-
The shifting camera angles almost always lead to confusion. [Dec 2002, p.174]
-
49The 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]
-
If it werent for the camera, DoF could have been a contender or least a lot better than what we get here.
-
Could have been a conspiratorial mind-bender like "The Thing"; instead, it's a pretty, empty third-person shooter (which, like "Superman," suffers from a slipshod control interface and horrible camera placement). [4 Oct 2002, p.157]
-
30Sounds are OK and some (repeat, SOME) of the graphics are decent, but Dawn of Fate isnt worth the gas money disappointed customers will spend rushing back to the store to beg for a refund.
