Terminator: Resistance

As someone who has been playing games like Half Life, Tomb Raider etc for years now I am not new to the world of first- person shooters. I love the Terminator movies and this game, also the DLC, definitely do them justice.

Firstly, the atmosphere is amazing. Scary. I like the fact that in the first part of the game you have to hide from the Terminators to progress. You're on the edge.

Secondly, the music is super. Adds "creepiness" and tension to the atmosphere of the game play.

As for the quality of the gaming itself- design, weapons etc- there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

I've played this game several times now and am not tired of it.

I HOPE THEY WILL DO ANOTHER!!

While Rambo: The Video Game, an arcade rail shooter and literal rethread of the first three Rambo films, will always be infamous as one of the most horrifically bad movie-based video games in history (no hyperbole there), its developer, Polish Studio Teyon, may still have a bright future ahead of them since they have now proved with their new Terminator game that they do actually have some talent for making good games as well.

In all honesty, Terminator: Resistance is a decent but average game. However, the fact that Terminator games haven't been good at all since the late 90s makes this okay game such a pleasant surprise that, at least in the eyes of the fans, it may as well be a 'triple A' Terminator game.

What's good about it? The story more or less works, the characters are not too unmemorable, the few choices in the game do have consequences, the action is serviceable, and the level design is not all that bad either.

What's bad about it? The limited budget occasionally shows when it comes to the graphics (most characters' faces look bad as if they come from a game from some previous generation console), the acting is often bad (even the main character is voiced poorly), the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion-like dialogue can get tiresome, and there is no variety when it comes to the gameplay (what you see is what you get). However, the graphics are fine for the most part, the voice actors who are good carry the game successfully, the dialogues do make the otherwise bland-looking characters somewhat interesting, and there is still more variety here than in any other Terminator game in recent memory.

What's neither here nor there? The game contains up to two short-ish sex scenes (full first person sex scenes with strategically covered nudity) if the player (the protagonist is a guy) chooses to take that route with two female side-characters.

Bottom line? All fans of either The Terminator franchise or Sci-Fi action in general should check this game out. If it makes them some money, maybe the game studio's next project will be a real classic considering what a leap forward this game is compared to the justifiably maligned so-incredibly-bad-it's-almost-good Rambo game.

Bought this game on sale ($19) and greatly enjoyed it. The people at Teyon clearly love the first 2 Terminator films and have learned from their previous game flops. Animations are a bit stiff (for faces and hands) and the texture fidelity isn't the best, but the plasma guns feel so good to shoot.

This is easily the best Terminator game ever, at last a good Terminator game.., and a very good FPS in general.

The atmosphere and action is really superb, and you think that you are watching and actively taking part in the T1 or T2 movies.

The music and sounds are perfect, so 80s.., especially the main menu theme, except for the dialogs which sometimes sound a bit strange and like somebody is just reading them in a room, and the graphics although not top are quite good, with nice colors and sceneries and set you very well in the mood of the after Judgement Day War..

The story is very believable and interesting with plenty of action all the time. The game also has some RPG elements, you collect stuff, improve your weapons, abilities, craft items etc.

Overall a very good action FPS and by far the best Terminator game ever..till now.

Recommended to everyone and STRONGLY recommended to ALL Terminator fans, this is a must have.

I would even say that so far for me the Terminator Universe should comprise only of T1, T2, Terminator Salvation & this game!, Terminator Resistance.

First off, to the guy who gave a low score because you "Can't shoot T-800's", you're a liar. Stop making stuff up to try and sway people from buying the game because your lazy, dumbass didn't go further than the first ten minutes.

On to the game itself, this feels like a true proper Future War based Terminator property. Teyon are obviously fans of the original movies; what with the callbacks, references, attention to detail and overall presentation. The T-1000 Easter Egg was where I decided I loved this game.

It is just a generic FPS Game by today's standards, but considering the low advertising they had - they clearly put that money into their already limited budget - it can be excused. Basically, it's a Terminator game that feels like a true sequel as opposed to the sequels we've actually gotten.

Generic, monotonous shooting moments which hide a project doused in Fanservice and a true passion. Is it worth it? For a sale price absolutely.
