PS3/X360 Preview - 'Terminator Salvation: The Videogame'

Terminator Salvation: The Videogame, developed by GRIN Studios, is a 3rd person action game with concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film while encountering new enemies specifically designed for the game.

As a franchise, Terminator has always been about the future war. An artificial intelligence named Skynet took over the world's computer systems and ushered in a nuclear apocalypse that left humanity on the brink of destruction. The savior of humanity is an unassuming man named John Connor, who leads the rebellion and defeats Skynet. This causes Skynet to send one of its own robots, a human-disguised terminator, back in time to kill Connor's mother. As the series progressed, new twists and turns were introduced, but one thing was always certain: There will be a war in the future, and Connor will defeat Skynet.

However, with the exception of flashbacks in the first movie and the occasional video game, we've never gotten to see what this war is like. The upcoming "Terminator: Salvation" movie is the first in the series to be set in the postapocalyptic world. The video game adaptation, also named Terminator: Salvation, may not be the first game to be set in the postapocalyptic future, but it's the first time that players will get to control John Connor.

This review features a lot of images from the game - cool!
