   This game is far better than any of those released in the last 4 months. But you should play it on hard! Graphically and visually the game is perfect. Plus the world created is so real and the machines DO incorporate so inpecably that this game will be one of my favourites. Though the gameplay hours are short - the locations are made very detailed and you can pass hours looking around. AI is quite good, (as smart as a machine should be) but the oponents quite tough. The sound is unbelievable - you will recognize all the samples from the Terminator and Terminator 2. The game will remind you of those 2 movies as well. If you remember many years ago there was a game, Terminator 2029. I had been waiting for that game very long. Though it was not good it gave some splashes of the L.A. 2029, which was cool. But overall T2029 was a failure. T: Salvation is EXACTLY what I wanted to see from T2029 and I recommend everyone to play this game. It looks like an interactive movie, you'll like it. Just don't hurry to run it through - be attentive to the details.… Expand

   This is just plain terrible and does no right for the Terminator movies. I hope this has nothing to do with the movie. It took me about four and a half hours to finish the game playing on hard, and considering how bad the game was overall I can only say it was a good thing it was short. But 60 euros for a game this short is way too much. In fact, they shouldn't be allowed to make games this short at all. The fighting is very repetetive, and every fight seems to involve flanking which would work great in co-op...only they didn't include co-op over Live which is a bit odd as they managed to make a split-screen co-op. There is some idea in the opponents having weak spots, but what really takes away the feeling is lack of variety in weapons and randomness in the combat. Basically you run a while, stop to shoot four to five enemies in an opening, and repeat. For five hours. Controls do an average job, but I wonder why couldn't they just 100% copy the layout of, say, Gears of War for example. After all this game attempts to be like GoW in many aspects. The movement isn't very fluid even with the cover-to-cover system, but at least they managed to keep things simple. If there was a sprint button, I never found it. The gameworld doesn't allow for free movement as the player is strictly prohibited from diverting from the path, so it doesn't even allow for much tactical planning. Nor can you command your squadmates, who fortunately are invincible but to balance it out, usually don't manage to do any damage. Again, this seriously weakens the feeling of actually fighting as you can witness your team get hit multiple times without any reaction and you don't need to take them into account when fighting. Considering that there are no puzzles, it would be great to have some variety in combat. The sound effects and voice acting are rubbish, I can't even remember what the shotgun sounds like. However, the music occasionally captures the Terminator mood, but most of the time it is sort of lost in the background. The outcome would have been probably better even if they had looped the Terminator theme for the duration of the game. In terms of graphic, I'd say the game is below average-average. I've seen worse this year (Godfather II) but I've seen better...even before this year. What I don't understand is the design, as the trees and scenery have very stark contrast, and it at times looks like you're fighting in a jungle instead of LA. I wish I could say better things about the game. However, total lack of replayability, linear running through a set path, short script and lack of variety are not what games should have these days. The problem is that the game is average or below that in any aspect; there's no real reason to buy it.… Expand

   A barely playable game to be truthful. Shows glimpses of potential in places but never amounts to more than a cheaply made cash-in on the franchise. A real real shame! The silver lining being that it has proved an easy 1000GS… Expand
