Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Starting with the good stuff, presentation is great. The graphics, for the most part, are excellent, and the between-level vignettes presenting key moments of the film are very nicely drawn. Jonathan Dunn is on point with a title screen tune which, despite not being the actual movie score, certainly sounds appropriate.
So, everything looks great, but how does it actually play? This is, after all, still a game, and a particularly expensive one, should you have been flush enough to have afforded the cartridge version; you'd definitely want a good slice of gameplay to justify the £20 price tag.
Ocean stuck to the tried-and-tested formula for their movie tie-ins, creating a series of mini-games to represent key moments throughout the course of the film. There are one-on-one fighting sequences between the T-800 and T-1000, overhead driving sections, plus a couple of horizontal scrolling levels with Sarah Connor escaping the Pescadero mental institute, and the T-800 shooting its way through a legion of SWAT officers in the Cyberdyne Systems facility.
The problem is, all these sections are just rather dull and mostly feel like padding. Once you learn the trick to beating them, most can be finished in a couple of minutes.
Some of Ocean's licensed games, such as Platoon, turned out pretty well, but I just can't say the same about T2. It looks good, but, much like the T-1000, it all feels soulless.
