![]() ![]() These two still hold up well even today though. In the driving and flying modes, youre even able to travel in one direction and shoot in another, a feature that comes in. The sequel, Skynet, is also quite good and much in the same vein, but they've replaced the sprite-work in briefing segments with some extremely schlocky FMV sequences which are hilariously entertaining, but not necessarily an improvement.īethesda also made Terminator: 2029 and Terminator: Rampage prior to these but, honestly, neither of those are very good (I think Rampage is especially poor) and, in my opinion, aren't worth your time. Terminator: Future Shock, The Manual (pdf) :: Future Shock is played in the first person perspective at all times. It's really atmospheric, with dark, demolished cityscapes to explore as you try to avoid (or confront) various robotic enemies.

I think that in a number of ways Bethesda's Terminator games are as much a precursor to Fallout 3 as their Elder Scrolls games and the Fallout series itself. ![]()
