Terminator Salvation’s (the game) formula

Picture this…

Wasps (small flying robots) -> Spider-bots -> Endos/Skinjobs (that still sounds dirty to me, but maybe that’s just me) -> HK (Hunter Killer, big flying robot)/Vehicle mission

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It wasn’t necessarily THAT bad of a game, it’s just that there was SO much more that they could have done with it. First of all it was a bit repetitive although some of the vehicle missions were kind of fun. Second, only offline Co-op. That was quite disappointing. Also only 11 simple achievements for a full length game? Most games have atleast 30, that just seems quite lazy. Finally the length of the game has also been subject of complaint, but I wasn’t really expecting that much considering the price and that it is a licensed game.

The mechanics for a great game are there, they’re just not presented as well as they could be.

Hearing some of the classic terminator music within the game was definitely nice though, almost soothing in a way.

The Mark has been made.

This is why you should take care to pad your game shipments well, atleast better than a bubble wrap pack I guess.

I’ve bought plenty of games and DVDs through ebay and never had such a problem before. It’s not the first time I’ve had a problem with a disc being cracked through the postal service but I thought this one was atleast better packed than the last one mauled. Well, so much for that…
