The Terminator is a run 'n' gun game that's exclusive to Sega's CD console.
+ City stages that appear halfway through create a really nice dichotomy against the recurrent industrial environments.
+ The controls are solid (allowing you freedom to make quick-second decisions) and every death feels like your own fault.
+ The CD quality music elicits a downbeat, atmospheric mood that matches the dystopian setting perfectly.
+ While the graphics don't make full use of the console's abilities, the menacing stage backgrounds set a foreboding tone.
- Perhaps would have benefited from some additional boss fights and/or set pieces to break up the action.
- The movie clips feature heavy compression / pixelation and it's often hard to decipher what you're actually looking at.
