Even though Terminator Salvation is the official game of the film, it doesn't recreate the film's plot, with the story of the game taking place a few years before of what is shown in the movie. This is something good, giving the developers more liberty to create a different story but being able to use all the enemies and gadgets of the film.

The overall experience playing Terminator Salvation is quite good, I read some bad reviews before playing it saying it was short, boring and unfinished... It's short, that's true, but it never bored me and, although, like many other games, it could have been better if more time had been dedicated to polish it up, it's a really entertaining third person shooter with very well crafted graphics, the apocalyptic sceneries in particular, that suit the game perfectly.

I especially liked the cover system. Most of the gameplay is based on taking cover through the scenery while shooting your enemies and moving quickly from cover to cover so you can flank them, which is very easy to do with the control system implemented for this game.

Terminator Salvation could, probably, have been better if some more time had been dedicated to its production, some times it feels like this would have been a great game if some more levels and a little more variety of enemies and situations had been included. But it is a very entertaining game as it is, fun to play and with great graphics.
