In the western version of Terminator Salvation things somehow just went wrong: the factory had gone non-working master drive. The saddest thing is that the problem discovered only after the game in stores. The publisher had to quickly withdraw from the sale of the entire edition and is in urgent new stamp. And then suggests itself: a tricky question: "And was it worth?". Probably not. After his short nine chapters game based on one of the biggest films of 2009 did not want to just forget it wants to terminate. With the extreme cruelty and cynicism.
John Connor Chronicles Briefly describe the setting is the last "Terminator" is much easier than to talk about the complex relationship of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into a well-known fairy tale. In 2004, the defense computer network Skynet is out of control and no demand has caused the nuclear attacks on major cities of the world. Ever since the brutal war between intelligent machines and the remnants of humanity does not even think to cease. Disclosed in the accompanying game events of the film, whose budget exceeds $ 200 million, you see, somehow undignified. Perhaps that is why the story-line version of Terminator Salvation begins two years before the cinematic twists, turns, that is, in the not too distant 2016. The player will tell the story of the formation of resistance leader John Connor, will show the horrors of war and conduct a mini-tour of the regional representation of Skynet.
Translation of hours for a couple of years ago, almost no impact on the surroundings. Many moments from the film director McG is quoted in the game almost verbatim. Here there are fights robotsiklami stylish, and duel with iron Hulk T-600, and clumsy attempts at drama. Bleak landscapes of America's pessimistic future reminiscent of Fallout 3, which has an evil Leprechaun stole the whole atmosphere. Attempts to put pressure on the cardboard characters with pity and does look like a typical youth serial on MTV - is senseless and merciless.

Iron curtain Rules of engagement from the GRIN Swedes borrowed from Gears of War. So ahead of time without losing your head, you need to use the shelters. The system is imperfect, and Connor often excrete at all those things, which it waits for the player. In sniping has another serious drawback.While John was quietly sit in ambush, nothing prevents the enemy to come from behind and a deft kick to send the savior of mankind to the nearest checkpoint.
Because of the industrial deficit in the hands of resistance fighters issued no more than two "cannons", bag of ammunition and a bunch of grenades. Cartridges are scattered over the levels in huge quantities, so no need to complain. Health is restored automatically at the rare moments of calm. In other words, look for trouble is unreasonable: the magic "lechilku" turn on not earlier than the last Terminator hits the ground. Bosses and interesting enemies, such as hefty drones and referred robotsikly in Salvation rare. Levels by 90 percent populated by flying "wasps", slow-moving T-600 and armored spider. Against the "OS" helps a normal shotgun, "the six hundredth" in the spirit does not carry explosives, but with a spider have to tinker. Front robots practically invulnerable (unless, of course, translate them valuable explosives). The Achilles heel of arthropods - fragile batteries behind them. A pair of shots - and the car flies calls pieces of scrap.
Every half hour rush and postrelushki interrupted mandatory shooting range in the spirit ... of course Gears of War. All entertainment look the same: Connor sits in the back of some pimped and bacon, and without metallic lead pursuers. Breathe life into the Salvation could be competent multiplayer, but, alas, did not grow together. Buttons for "joint play" hide the ordinary split-screen for two players.
 | |  | Fussy idol rushing hither and thither, and retard the fire itself. Though some use ... | | There you sit in the shelter, do not yawn: the enemy can get around you from the flank. |
Ringing steel Modified Diesel engine went "Terminator" of "highly dangerous". Toys look like twins: a similar lighting, special effects, animation. Run-in "Diesel" fully complies with modern standards and smartly run on the systems of yesterday. Bodrenky a motor - it seems only proper to achieve GRIN. Everything else is either borrowed from the scriptwriter of the film, or podsmotreno in Gears of War.
To attract Christian Bale (Christian Bale) to ozvuchke protagonist in GRIN failed. Bale, known as the brawler, has flatly refused to recite the text, so that in the game for him to sweat a completely different actor. But Moon Bloodgood (Moon Bloodgood) and rapper Common ernichat were not happy and gave voice to their characters. For a complete happiness, developers pulled into a game of Hollywood pupae Kelly Hu (Kelly Hu, «X-Men 2") and Rose McGowan (Rose McGowan, «Planet Terror" and 112 series "Charmed"). In honor of what the attraction of such generosity, it is not clear: neither Kelly nor the Rose in the film, McG is not removed.
With unforgettable music of Brad Fidel (Brad Fiedel) creators Salvation treated very gently. Remixes entrusted exclusively right musicians, so it sounds "Terminator" flawlessly. If to this soundtrack accompanied decent gameplay, from Terminator Salvation could easily get something worthwhile.And so ... scrap metal - it is scrap.
 | |  | Console roots do not suffocate, do not kill: the game generously forgives minor mistakes and corrects slightly the trajectory of the bullets. | | But Connor is not real! Nothing to do with Christian Bale. |
