11:16 AM Terminator Salvation The Game |
In an attempt to make their country safer, the U.S. military obtained
the technology and patents to an experimental computer program from the
destroyed Cyberdyne Systems Corporation, using it to network its
various combat systems to link up globally and build robotic troops to
replace its human components, this program was called Skynet.
However,
in July of 2004, the U.S. military computers are besieged by a computer
virus that seems to have spread throughout the nation, affecting
anything electronic. In an attempt to combat this threat, the military
brings Skynet online to destroy the virus, unaware that the attack is
actually a trick and soon after being brought online, Skynet becomes
sentient and launches an attack on its biggest threat...mankind. One
hour after becoming sentient, it launches a nuclear barrage across the
globe, striking key cities, destroying military assets and bringing
mankind to the brink of destruction. This day is known as Judgement Day.
Twelve
years later, the survivors of Judgement Day are in desperate need of
salvation as Skynet uses machines to hunt down and wipe out mankind.
However there is a hope, a man by the name of John Connor who has
fought Skynet in the past as it has sent machines known as Terminators
into the past, once before he was born, when he was a teenager and
right before Judgement Day. Knowing how to combat these machines,
Connor fights alongside a branch of Resistance fighters in the
wasteland formerly known as Los Angeles, trying to stop Skynet while
protecting his squad as well as his wife from being wiped out.
While
the game does share the name of the 2009 movie, it does not follow the
plot of the movie, instead it is set two years before in 2016 and
bridges the gap between Terminator 3 and Terminator Salvation. The
player takes control of Connor as they transverse through apocalyptic
settings, fighting off terrifying machines that range from HK's (Hunter
Killers), T-1 tanks, spider machines, motor terminators and the dreaded
T-600, attempting to rescue captured soldiers while encountering other
characters to help them in their quest.
The gameplay is mostly a third-person shooter, similar in style to Gears of War,
where the player uses weapons such as small caliber firearms, larger
assault weapons, grenades and rocket launchers to fight off various
ground and air enemies while using various obstacles for cover from
enemy fire with some on-rail vehicle shooting stages scattered in
between. Players can only carry two weapons at a time, but can swap
them out for other weapons (however, they can not pick up weapons from
fallen Terminators) and can carry one type of throwing weapons
(grenade, pipe bomb, etc.).
The story is told through
pre-rendered CGI cutscenes and does not feature any online multiplayer
functions, but does have an offline two-player split-screen co-op mode
that allows two friends to fight side by side in the story mode.
Additionally, actors Common and Moon Bloodgood lend their voices to the games to reprise their roles, but does not feature the voice of Christian BaleGideon Emery voices Connor. Rose McGowan also lends her voice to the game as well as Kelly Hu. as John Connor, instead
