Plot
The video game follows the movie's basic story faithfully. Despite this, there are some inconsistencies in the game's cutscenes. For example, the Terminator is seen driving the RV (this leads into some "future" levels) and next he is driving the veterinarian van again.
The game utilized both the likeness and the voices of the movie cast. Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed he very rarely voices characters in videogames but he felt the game did the movie justice.
Reception
The game was met with mostly negative reviews upon release GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 39.17% and 38 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version, 41.06% and 35 out of 100 for the Xbox version, and 49.06% and 50 out of 100 for the Game Boy Advance version.
