PSA: contrary to the blurb at the top, this page is not for the on-the-rails light gun game (released in 1991). This page is for an entirely different beast: the 1992 console release.

I played the Genesis version and it might be the worst game I've ever touched. The graphics look like an 8-bit game, the game has one track of music, and the controls are abysmal. The Terminator can attack, jump, crouch and move, but only one at a time. That's right: no jumping attacks, no crouching attacks, no punching while walking. In addition, he has T-rex arms which makes hitting anyone impossible. This was the only game I quit within five minutes of playing it, and the fact that it was allowed to be released is criminal.

(I'm told the SNES port is very different, and actually playable. I sure hope so!)
