One of two games based on the hit movie Terminator 2, T2: The Arcade Game is a sub-standard Operation Wolf-style first-person shooter that offers a few hours of mindless fun but little else. All you do is shoot endless hordes of invading, pixellated robots that advance in droves, not unlike Space Invaders of yore. There are some surprises along the way, such as power-ups you can shoot at to get more powerful weapons, but the game is essentially the same on every level. There’s not much more I can say about this simplistic game, except that for all its mindlessness, it’s still a lot better than OCEAN’s horrendous Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Play it at your peril, though.
