Description \ Information:
Once again Bethesda sends us to a postnuclear America to battle against Skynet and its robotic minions. After Rampage, which disappointed even the biggest Terminator fans, Bethesda took more time and developed an in-house engine called 'Xngine'. This allowed for a detailed Los Angeles setting but also implied various bugs and graphic corruptions. The game consists of non-related missions which are linked through text messages and briefings. Thanks to the Xngine it was the first time that the now classic keyboard/mouse controls were put to good use. In the first mission you have to get across from a hotel to another building which really gives a sense of height which also wasn't seen before. Also you will be able to enter a jeep or a H/K aeroplane which requires different controls. It really feels like 3 different engines in one: walking/shooting , driving and flying. The missions are varied (although a fewer dungeon missions would have been nice) and are filled with surprises. Unfortunately Bethesda never got Future Shock bug-free which can spoil the game. Fans of the Terminator films will however spend many pleasant hours with this game.
