Terminator 2: Judgment Day

DOS - 1991
Also available on: Amiga - Amstrad CPC - Atari ST - Commodore 64

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a boring game based on Terminator 2 the movie. In all respects, it is a formulaic film license material, i.e. a series of sub-games, each based on a certain scene from the film.

The first beat-'em-up section -- a battle between the old and the new Terminator in a corridor-- is downright abysmal. Instead of feeling like the powerful battle that it should, you just poke or fire weapon leisurely at your opponent, causing damage little by little before he falls. The enemy Terminator advances ever-so-slowly towards you with a tinny growl that sounds more like a broken PC speaker than a menacing killer android, making no effort whatsoever to evade your fire.

After the slow-motion, beat'-em-up "action" of the first level, this game improves slightly with a racing section. You race a moped and see the level from the top-down perspective, trying to outrun the Terminator's truck and avoid obstacles. Unfortunately, after this high point of the game, it goes back to mediocrity again with tediously moving pieces of an ostentacious "puzzle" section.

The bottom line: play any one of Bethesda's Terminator game instead... indeed, play any game at all other than this utter waste of a good film license.

Crazy how short this game is. Can finish it in 30mins I think.

Shame how low effort it is. It looks nice just not much gameplay.

I hated the fight parts, basically because you could kill the T1000 by holding the space bar all the time and taking out of the screen (it ends the fight instantly)......but I liked the bike and helicopter chases...but what I liked the most, basically because was the one that demanded more than just pressing a button, was the puzzles.

I like the the fighting in this game,but nothing special. The driving stages are my least favorite , "The Flood Channel " moves way to fast so its hard to avoid the objects,the level where you are shooting down the T-1000 in the helicopter is alright it's quite easy.The puzzle mini games stand the most to me they are fun

SPACE+RIGHT = PUNCH
SPACE+DOWN+RIGHT = KICK

Thankfully if you don't complete a lot of them you can still go to the next level.Graphics:3/5,nice and big.Music:3/5,nice rendition of the movie's main theme, the others are forgottable.Variety:3/5, generic ,puzzles,fighting,and vehicle chases.Gameplay:3/5:repeative but enjoyable.Overall:6/10
