GameplayEdit
Some interesting things that set this game apart from other Terminator games is that you get to see several never before seen Terminator units such as the T-400 Series and T-500 Series. Also, the inclusion of melee combat changes the ways you can exterminate the Terminators. The camera angles used in this game proves to be unique but feel poorly implemented. The camera feels like its never looking the right way, and also is very "sticky".
There are fifteen different weapons at the players disposal, here are a few examples:
- Dual AP50 pistols
- A pair of futuristic, fully automatic akimbo pistols. These pistols have a very high rate of fire, but is unfortunately less effective on Terminator units then the other weapons available.
- PLM40 Laser Assault Rifle
- A quite bulky looking laser rifle with a mounted scope (the scope is never used ). This is probably one of the best weapons in the game, having a pretty devastating effect on Terminator units alike. The PLM40 is not to be confused with the M-27 Phased Plasma Rifle which is unavailable to the player
- R-6 Pak Rocket Launcher
- A small ( and presumably light ) hand-held rocket launcher, in the form of a Pistol. This weapon is exclusive to Major Perry, and is only available when playing as him in certain stages of the game. The R-6 packs a heavy punch, and can easily destroy any Terminator unit in just one-two shots ( except the T-800, which sometimes take three shots).
- Canister Bomb
- A throw able high-explosive bomb in the form of a canister, this weapon had it's first appearance in The Terminator, and a brief appearance in Terminator 2, making it one of the few weapons that are truly canon.
- Electric Stun-baton
- The only melee weapon available to the player, an electrical powered stun-baton. Any melee attack with this weapon can temporarily stun older Terminator units, like the T-400. It can be very lethal when used with the right melee attack combination, often resulting in an instant kill if the Terminator unit is incapacitated on the ground, or temporarily stunned.

NotesEdit

Continuity notesEdit
- The Terminator establishes that assault on Cheyenne Mountain, Operation Chrono (T-800's mission) and Kyle Reese's time traveling to 1984 happened in 2029, while in this game and the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, those event Kyle Reese is sent back from 2027.
- There is no mention of Skynet sending T-1000 back to 1995 to kill young John Connor, nether the reprogrammed T-800 sent back to 1995 by old John Connor to protect his younger self in 1995.
- The T-800 sent back in time to terminate Sarah Connor does not resemble Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 in the game has black hair and a moustache. Likewise, the player character Kyle Reese only vaguely resembles Michael Biehn. This is largely due to the video game publisher Infogrames not having any rights to use either actors faces or physical looks.
- The image of Sarah Connor in the photograph looks older than she does in the first movie.
Terminator referencesEdit
- The battle against the T-800 in "Infiltration" follows the same series of stages as the battle against the T-800 in The Terminator. The T-800 starts off with a standard skin sheath, followed by one where the skin has been ripped from half of its face before an attack where it has been broken in half and can only attack by crawling.
