Even more impressive is the fact that the game makes the model changes on the fly as the player is damaged-and even though health can be regained, the external damage visuals can't be repaired by anything short of finishing a level. The graphics artists have gone to the trouble of creating a model with numerous layers, resulting in gruesome effects as the metal endoskeleton peeks out from underneath ravaged flesh.
#THE TERMINATOR 3 GAME SKIN#
While the graphics aren't anything too spectacular, the central skin effect that shows up in just about every Terminator game-the slow degradation of the Terminator's human outer shell as it takes damage-looks especially good here. The story even makes more sense here, with the mid-game trip back to the future an integral (if far-fetched) part of the story, rather than just a tacked-on flashback. I can't put my finger on exactly why the plot works so much better here than it did in the other game-I'm just happy that it does. Perhaps the most amazing thing about Redemption is that-in premise at least-it is the exact same game as Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines An action recap of the movie's plot with extra future war sections added to the beginning and middle. In this game's case, the goal was to create a third-person shooting/driving hybrid, which it pulls off with enough class that it almost makes it look too easy. It's not a perfect game by any means, but when put in the context of Atari's brutal mishandling of the Terminator franchise, this game is nothing less than them knocking one out of the park.Īt a time when so many games try to do everything and end up drowning a sea of their own unfocused ambition, it's refreshing to see a game that sets its sights on doing one very specific thing and then does it very well. It is, however, the best Terminator console game, and comes right on the heels of a game so bad I didn't bother to review it, and then one of the worst professionally made video games of this generation. It doesn't break any new ground in concept or execution, and the graphics aren't exactly eye-popping.
