The gameplay is smartly crafted and often quite engaging. Wha? Though there are definitely some rough elements to Terminator Salvation, the future isn't completely bleak.

With a few turns of a monkey wrench the Harvester is now yours to command. The next scene shows Connor underneath a snoozing Harvester. Towards the end, one of your teammates warns, "The Harvester is still out there." Connor says not to worry, he'll handle it. As I ran from this metal beast, I thought, "Damn, I can't wait to fight that thing later on." That leads to the worst moment in Terminator Salvation. The one shining cutscene (and coolest gameplay segment) is when the massive Harvester machine comes around scooping up humans. The best and worst moments in Terminator Salvation are intertwined. Bad acting, ugly cut-scenes, no Christian Bale, and a few story elements that are outright hilarious.

There are a few moments that lack any cinematic punch. There just wasn't enough to create a full game. Terminator Salvation seems, ironically enough, a victim of time. Not exactly the worst idea for a game, but it's certainly not very deep. It's just an excuse to go from point A to B and fight many machines along the way. There are no unexpected twists or insight into John Connor or the formation of the resistance. And that is the entire plot of Terminator Salvation. While the leaders of the resistance (Connor is still an up-and-coming punk) are willing to sacrifice the few for the good of the many, Connor goes rogue to save his buddies. Los Angeles has been lost to the machines and the resistance is pulling back to regroup, but some of Connor's men have gotten themselves captured by Skynet. Taking place two years prior to the upcoming film, Terminator Salvation follows one day in the life of would-be savior of mankind John Connor. Too bad that joy only lasts a handful of hours before the credits roll. And yet despite the poor presentation, there are some clever gameplay elements that make Terminator enjoyable. Christian Bale has been replaced by a non-descript actor, the action is fairly tame throughout and the cutscenes are stunningly ordinary. The videogame version has none of these things. Terminator Salvation is a relaunch of the film franchise featuring Christian Bale's gravitas, amazing set pieces and slick camera work.
