The Terminator

The Terminator game has a fairly high level of difficulty. The gameplay requires care and precise control, and physics sometimes leaves two impressions. Character control is not the most convenient, and you will have to adapt to its features - especially for jumps, which require precise calculation in order to cope with the mass of ledges and spans on the levels. Such a complication can add excitement, but it also turns into frequent falls into the abyss and moments of ... disappointment.

Interesting in the game is the expansion of the universe of the Terminator movie, which began with the first levels, where the player finds himself in the distant future (from 1984). Before returning to the main plot of the film, the game throws into gloomy ruins, forcing you to fight with an army of terminators and other mechanical opponents. This is a rather unusual and original vision, which makes it possible to better immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the war with machines, which was only briefly shown in the film.

At certain stages, the game faithfully reproduces the main events of James Cameron's tape, offering to relive recognizable moments of the film as the main character. At some levels, it becomes possible to drive a car, running away from danger in the face of the formidable robot T-800. This variety adds a bit of dynamics and a sense of constant threat, which sets Terminator apart from other games of its time.

Overall, it's a good project. For his time, I think, even cool. I had a chance to play the game several times in my time. But the sequel is certainly a cut above.
