Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

"This game is....****ing lousy"

I liked the movie termiantor 3 : rise of the machine very much( note:i'm not a fan and i only watched 3 not 2 and 1) so I went to get this game but I was utterly disappointed!!! I was hoping that it will turned out something like matrix or max payne( I like the focus and the bulletime), although I know that's not much hope because...well... because this is terminator 3 !!!

Gameplay,Controls 3/10

The controls are terrible! The aiming is very hard. Although that's a auto lock option but I don't get the fun but just locking and shoot the hell at them. And with those flying enemies it makes the controls worse! I get dizzy sometimes while trying to shoot down the ****ing enemies! Also, it's quite short and you can complete it in just a few days.

Graphics 4/10

The graphics isn't very nice, the robots looked so fake that they looked like toys walking around. The environment looks okay but still not satisfactory.

Story 5/10

The story isn't plot out very well. It doesn't tell you much. The story is a little out and place and a little not really like the movie(sorry if i'm mistaken but as i said, i'm not a fan).

Sounds 6/10

The sounds is still not bad. The music and the sounds like the guns is still okay.

Replay value 3/10
There isn't really anything to unlock in this game so I don't think it has any replay value. You might replay it if you like shooting the hell out of those robots.

Overall 4/10

I was expecting much more as I really love the movie but I turned out all disappointed and I wasted my money buying it!!! I hope they can improve on the controls , gameplay and graphics maybe on terminator 4 in years? LOL, Or maybe they might create a terminator 3 : part 2 and maybe it's better.

Rent or buy : Rent

If you really intend on getting the game even after my review go and rent it first. If you found that the game doesn't turn out as bad as my review go and buy it because not everyone have the same view. But if you really have real high expectations for this game but put it too high first because I don't want you to get very disappointed after having high expectations but if you are a fan of the terminator series you might just like it.
