Terminator Salvation

 

Terminator Salvation is a game that I can easily call a typical third person shooter. I played it for several hours and to be honest the only thing that kept me playing was easy trophies (85%) and the story (15%). The gameplay itself isn’t that interesting and doesn’t have much to offer. I should say it’s fun but not for long!

The game is so linear and repetitive! It’s like old-school Atari 2600 games where enemies come to you in waves and the further you progress the more enemies come to you. All you need to do is to perform the same strategy over and over again! Take Cover, point and shoot! Well, if the target is a spider there is one more thing to do, you should go behind him first. All of the battle scenes seem so pre-made and prepared for you and they are mostly so similar you know exactly what to do and where to go!

At one point I just got bored with wasting time killing the enemies so I tried to leave the battle area and move toward my objective. The game warned me not to leave the battle scene and the screen started fading. In my opinion, it is really poor game design! If you don’t want me to leave then stop me by something better than a message! No one likes invisible walls, but it’s a better solution than just failing the mission. At least you can’t leave accidentally in that case. All in all, it just takes away the whole sense of being in the game!

Checkout the gameplay videos and see if you like the game or not but in my opinion, this game is worth renting more than buying.

  4. Posted August 27, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    Fantastic game, but i wouldnt advise anyone to waste £40 or £30 to buy it because its over in about 8 hours play time

  5. Posted September 2, 2009 at 6:20 am

    No offense dude but you need to shoot at enemies more and stop snapping to and from cover and going around corners and hopping about. I’m not so sure I’d enjoy playing co-op with you, lol. Again no offense, just making an observation.

  6. Posted September 2, 2009 at 7:49 am

    Non taken :) I know what you mean but in this game you’re not gonna get shot if you cover so what’s the rush? :D

  7. Posted September 4, 2009 at 1:49 pm

    could you get the trophies playing in co op

  8. Posted September 5, 2009 at 4:37 pm

    do you gain trophies in this game?

  9. Posted September 7, 2009 at 9:41 am

    yeah… a lot of easy gold trophyes and an easy platinum!

  10. Posted September 7, 2009 at 9:42 am

    do u gain trophies in splitscreen?

  11. Posted September 14, 2009 at 5:22 am

    yes theres 12 in total
    there all gold trophies well 11 r gold 1 is platinam its an easy trophie game iwould recomend for an easy platinum

  12. Posted September 16, 2009 at 7:59 am

    Yeah, that’s totally fair. I played it for the first time the other day and you’re totally right, lol. Cover makes you disappear at most times in the game. :)

  13. Posted September 27, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    @cvelizh Just beat the entire game on Hard and you’ll get them all.

  24. Posted December 13, 2009 at 9:50 am

    I though that immediatly too, and then I realised how similar it actually was when I saw the exact same maps from GOW. Crazy, you’d think they’d at least remap it. :)

  25. Posted December 16, 2009 at 1:41 pm

    does this game have trophies?

  26. Posted December 18, 2009 at 9:59 pm

    @MrsBmxrider1997 you should get Uncharted series Assassins creed series and if you like shooters Battlefield Bad company 2 or MAG

  49. Posted February 3, 2010 at 11:25 pm

    hey guys im struggling on this game to get the platinum trophy, any advice?

  83. Posted July 2, 2010 at 7:00 pm

    I love this game, but there is alot more the producers could of done to shut the dumb-ass critics up cause the critics dont know a good game if it hit them in the face

  84. Posted July 2, 2010 at 9:15 pm

    @MrKillZone0 love? im sorry but this is a terrible game. this is not a good game dude. it freezes every 10 minutes, graphics are terrible, gameplay is boring, and im still not sure if it was worth the plainum

  85. Posted July 2, 2010 at 9:15 pm

    @view12375758758 play with co op

  86. Posted July 3, 2010 at 5:34 am

    @TheGameChannelify i have no one to play with. it dont matter im just going to take my time. to those who say this is an easy platinum is talking out of their butt cheeks because this has some hard parts and the missions drag on like a bitch.

  87. Posted July 3, 2010 at 9:31 am

    @TheGameChannelify well there should be some sort of terminator salvation game, cause its a good idea

  88. Posted July 3, 2010 at 10:43 am

    @MrKillZone0 you have a point. terminator is a great idea and willl hopefully in the future have a great game based in it

  89. Posted July 5, 2010 at 1:14 am

    John connor is a pusy

  90. Posted July 9, 2010 at 6:48 am

    They should make a good terminater game, with first person, and a choice to play as man or machine.

  91. Posted July 13, 2010 at 6:13 am

    jogo deboa história + fikou xato pq é muito repititivo

  92. Posted July 18, 2010 at 9:39 am

    How long does this game take to get platinum/all achievements?

  93. Posted July 19, 2010 at 9:29 am

    dude use the shotgun for the aerostats

  94. Posted July 20, 2010 at 1:03 pm

    Easiest Platinum Trophy for the PS3!

  95. Posted July 25, 2010 at 11:59 pm

    I’ll just rent this game to get the plat in 5 hours

  96. Posted July 28, 2010 at 7:57 pm

    i dont get how you guys talk so much crap on this game. its one of the best game ive played. its amazing

  97. Posted July 29, 2010 at 12:16 pm

    If this is an online game where you can talk to people with the headset, then i think i want this game. That, and i’m a fan of the terminator movies.
