I like Terminator even if I ceased following the franchise after watching the third movie... But I keep thinking that the first movie is a Sci-Fi classic, and that the second one is a very good Sci-Fi entertainement. I had heard a lot of good about this game before I played it and I wasn't disappointed.
Surely an average FPS, at best, if you're don't know or don't like the Terminator franchise. It picks up some gameplay elements from here and there, and provides nothing great or new, but nothing bad either. You may probably not miss a lot in term of gaming if you skip this one. Nevertheless, due to its good story, its solid universe, and despites its average gaming experience for any FPS veteran, it may be a good way to discover the Terminator's franchise and going straight forward to watch the first two movies after played it.
But if you like the franchise this game definetly worth to be tried. The story of Terminator Resistance is a very good following of Cameron's movies. And I liked very much to be launched into this universe of my youthfulness and had to struggle against Skynet. It was nice to follow the personnal story for the main characters ; not really memorable but it's still a valuable add to the core story. On the other side, I was a bit surprised by the sex scenes ; not very necessary, but they can be avoided without any impact on the story.
The franchise and story put aside, the game was still enough good to be played ; and enough good to support well the franchise and to deliver us the best Terminator game that I played so far (even if I had a lot of fun with the light gun shooter T2 Jugement Day on arcade, and some good memories with T2 on Game Boy). As the game is rather easy, it's really worth to be played in higher difficulty.
Story, music, sound effects, art design, all was done to provide a solid Terminator ambiance in order to offer a great immersion into this legendary war against Skynet.
