The Terminator: Future Shock is a first-person shooter computer game released by Bethesda Softworks in 1995. The game depicts Judgment Day as happening in 1995, then the setting jumps forward to Los Angeles in the year 2015. The gamer plays a human escaping entrapment by Terminators. After escaping hostile enemy territory in the first mission, the player meets with John Connor, the leader of the Resistance. From that point on, one plays as a Resistance fighter. Skynet's uprising in 1990 has left most of humanity dead, with control in Skynet's hands. All around is death and decay, scattered with remnants of a past society shattered. Future Shock is played in the first person perspective at all times. Each level in the game requires the player to solve a number of objectives before continuing to the next level, while fighting enemy robots with a wide variety of guns and grenades. Another obstacle in each level is the harsh terrain, as many areas contain too much radiation for the player character to remain alive. The terrain is navigated in three ways, 'on foot', in a jeep with a mounted cannon, or in an Aerial Hunter-Killer. Read less

Advanced-Feeling Controls Boost An Otherwise Meh FPS

Impressive for its fluid controls and modern feel to the way you can modify the controls and their responsiveness. However, quite dull for the music once your'e actually playing, and fps will never be a favorite genre. Still, one of the highlights of the post-Doom era.

Look: 7.5/10 Neat 3D world but less impressive as I'm in late 95.

Review plasmasnake 3/5 · Jun 21, 2020

The future war setting and ruined city levels were exactly what I wanted, but there were too many levels and not much sense of progress so I never finished.
