This game is great, besides the not-so-good Camera Angles the gameplay and storyline makes this game worth it, lots of Stuff to unlock, and cool cut-scences. Very Underrated game. Any Terminator fan should get this.

VERY ANNOYING GAME!!!!

I bought this stupid game because I liked the Terminator a lot. When I was playing this game, I noticed two things wrong with it....... CAMERA VIEW & GRAPHICS!!!!!! Every time you go to a different area in the game, the camera view changes!!!!!! It is soooooooooo annoying!!! Also, this makes it very hard to find out where you are going. The graphics in the game are teeeerible!!!! They look like playstation 1 graphics! Right now, I'm on the last level (which isn't very hard to get to because there's only 10 levels) and I can't beat it because my objectives won't tell me what to do!! Now I'll probably NEVER beat this stupid game!!!!! The only thing good about this is the 8th level because tou actually battle a terminator. Other than that, this game is a complete waste of time.

Fun to play

I thought this game was pretty cool. It had a cool story to it, and it had great graphics. The best part about it is it's gameplay,you can switch between third and first person. I also thought that the levels had a perfect Terminator atmosphere. I highly recommend this game over T3:Rise of the Machines(which sucks).

Good game should get the M rating

Terminator Dawn of fate is the first game I ever played when I first got my PS2. The moment I played it, I loved. Its so much fun. Sure the controlling is a bit hard, when once you get used to it, you'll have a great time playing the game. I do not know why this game has received many bad reviews; after all it's way better then the more recent Terminator 3- rise of the machines game. That game is just too hard, the controls are very complicated, it isn't very intense, and the back round music is horrible. In this one, the controls are simpler; you don't have to be in first person mode so you can see yourself. I find that to be better b/c when you're not in first person mode, you can run and roll on the ground to avoid being hit. When making a combination of running, rolling, and shooting with all the futuristic hi-tech weapons, the game becomes pretty intense. Also I love the rock music starts playing in the back round when you start to battle machines. And another great part of this game is the story line- the story of the game is basically going through all the events that led up to the original Terminator movie (1984). This game creates a back round story behind the terminator movies. All that was said from the terminator movies such as machines sending a terminator back through time, the war against the machines, terminator factories are things you finally get to see when you play this game. Plus this game also has even more things that were never shown or said in the terminator films such as their being a traitor, who sold out the humans, or that the humans knew of skynets plan to send a terminator back thru time, or the never before seen assassin machines that are only featured in this game and not in the movie. Although this game is good, it does have some cons-
- There are only 10 levels so it's a pretty short game.
- This game isn't fully accurate with the terminator films. In the original terminator movie, the character Kyle Reese said he had volunteered to go back through time to stop the terminator from killing Sarah Conner. According to this game, John Conner personally chose him to go through time and only told him about the mission shortly before he was sent through time.
- Some of the characters look nothing like how they did movies. Kyle Reese looks nothing like how he did in the original Terminator and this game also shows the Terminator who was supposed to be "Ah-nuld" going back through. That terminator looked absolutely nothing like Arnold, the makers deliberately made it look completely different. I do not know why they did that either, it could have been a way for "Ah-nuld" to have a cameo in the game.
- The camera angles for this game change almost every ten seconds as you move.
- Remember in the first movie, when the terminator kept going after Sarah even though it lost its surrounding human tissue, its arm, both of it legs? There is only one level where you keep fighting a terminator in the same situation. There should have been more times in the game where you keep battling a terminator like that b/c once just was not enough and it was pretty fun.
Other then that, this game is pretty awesome and I suggest you get whenever you have the chance.

a huge disappointment

As soon a I heard that there was going to be a Terminator game for PS2 and Xbox I couldn't wait for it to be released. I love the terminator franchise and if the game was anything like the movie it would be great, but it wasn't. I was going to spend the night at my friend's house and we went to Block Buster. We both decided to get Terminator dawn of Fate, because we both like Terminator. As soon as we started playing the game I hated it. Since the Terminator is basically a shooter concept I expected it to be a first person game, which it is not. The camera angles where even worse, and what really pissed me off was that you weren't John Connor or the Terminator, you were the guy in the first movie who dies. The person in the game didn't even look like him, he had puffed up hair in the game that he does not have in the movie. The graphics were alright, and the wepons weren't that great either. This game sucks and it was a waste oif seven fifty. Hopefully the next Terminator game won't be as bad.

Sorry Rick...

This game sucks. Also, if you haven't seen the movie "Rise of the Machines", it sucks, too. Well...maybe not to Rick from Indiana who, incidentally, doesn't get out too much.

It's a Flop

I can understand diehard TERMINATOR fans anxious to get there fingers on this one, however diehard ps2 gamers won't enjoy this due to horrible gameplay and crappy camera angles. My friend rented it and I kept telling him not to spend his 5 bucks at the local blockbuster. In any event he did, we drove home, cranked it in my ps2 and I watched him play on "Easy" mode...which is unbelievably easy. Don't get me wrong...the story line is good, it had potential however the camera angles switching every moment you walk 1 inch is frustrating. I don't recommend renting, nor buying this game. This game is geared for diehard terminator fans who don't care much for quality ps2 games. They're library probably consists of Alien Vs Predators as well.

awsome game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
