Gameplay

Player plays the role of John Connor during the war opposing the human resistance to the machines of Skynet. The game consists of two selectable missions: objective of the first mission is to seek and destroy the secret lab where Skynet conducts experiments on humans. The purpose of the second mission is to escort refugees to a safehouse and destroy Skynet. Player faces whole armies of T-600, T7-T, Aerostats and Mototerminators. He can find grenades, shotguns and miniguns on his way. During some sequences, it is possible to use heavy machine guns mounted on vehicles (helicopter, pickup).

The weapon (a customized M4A1) has a magazine of 60 bullets. To reload, player presses the bottom of the magazine or, on some deluxe cabinets, shoots outside the screen. The button on the side of the weapon is used to throw grenades. in the Standard version, despite acting like the deluxe and super deluxe cabinets, the gun is cosmetically similar to the Pulse Rifles seen in Aliens Extermination (but without the LED counters used for Aliens Extermination).
