Yah, Yah...I know, I know. I have to give my own game 5 stars, I just have to. The game looks good and it's pretty fun to play. If you've ever wanted to smack down a bunch of Endo's...this is your game. I can't say much more about it...although I'd like to.

Hope you guys have fun with it.... ;)

WOW!!! Terminator: Dawn of Fate is on of the best games for the PS2 console. Time: 2027 A.D. Place: Post-nuclear Los Angeles.Robots from missile defence systems get smart and take over the world. Play as one of three characters, including the star of the movie The Terminator. Use weapons like the AR50 machine pistols, SR70 plasma rifle, canister bombs, C4, plasma batons, etc. I haven't even beaten the first level, but this is a game not to be missed. Fight Endos, plasma frisbees, and the legandary T-800 assasin droid. The game acts as a prequal to the movie, so it helps to have seen it.

Action: *****
Stratigy: ***
Fun: *****

If you don't have Terminator, buy it quick and don't miss out!

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).

BEST GAME EVER!!!

TDOF (terminator dawn of fate) is the best videogame ever for ps2. TDOF is so much fun, challenging and you get to use lots of hi-tck weapons against the machines. Sure it is nothing like the terminator films but this is still a good game. GET IT

great game

ALRIGHT FIRST OFF IM ONE OF THE HUGEST TERMINATOR FANS IN THE WHOLE FLIPPIN WORLD! OK LET SEE WHERE DO I START.... OK YOU START OUT THE GAME AS KYLE REESE AFTER AN ATTEMPT ATTACK BY SKYNET, YOUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT GENERAL JOHN CONNOR AND THEN ESCORT HIM FROM THE BUILDING, AFTERWARD THEY FIND OUT THAT SKYNET HAS A TIME MACHINE THAT WILL TRANSPORT A FAKIE TO THE PAST TO KILL CONNORS MOTHER, THUS TAKING YOU TO THE FIRST MOVIE.
OK IT'S PRETTY VIOLENT SCRATCH THAT VERY VIOLENT I THINK IS NOT HARMFUL TO ANYONE OVER 12, BUT KNOWING YOUR RESPONSIBILITES AS A CHILD PLAYING A GAME THATS HAS A JACKED UP RATING YOU MUST BE MATURE ABOUT THIS PRIVLEDGE. NOW THERE IS NO BLOOD BUT IT IS BETTER THAT WAY SO IT WONT BE MATURE. YES THEY THROW DAMN IN HERE AND THERE AN OCCATIONAL "WHAT THE HELL" BUT NOTHING FOR PARENTS TO FRET ABOUT!

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.

Good but not Great

I give this game 4 Stars. It is pretty fun but not great. The Camera movements can get confusing and I sometimes get lost and lose control of the Character. I started playing it yesterday and am half way through it so it isn't too hard. I guess I'll have to try the hard levels next after I beat it. I am a fan of the movies and I can't wait for the third one to come out this summer so this game nice to see. I think that fans of Terminator would enjoy this game!!
