History VideoGame / TerminatorSalvationArcade

* LightningBruiser: The various HK vehicles are much more agile than their movie counterparts. The aerials zoom by and do tight turns while the tanks instead of being ponderous armored towers on tracks are easily capable of keeping up with speeding trucks.

* MadeOfIron: Besides the Mooks, the player is as well. Your character can probably take more damage than any other LightGunGame player characters out there.

* TakingYouWithMe: After placing and arming the final bomb, the final Harvester (already just a head, torso and arms) latches onto your helicopter and tries to bring it down. You have to shoot its weak points within ''5'' seconds to make it let go, otherwise, it blows up with your helicopter.

''Terminator Salvation'' is a LightGunGame released in 2010. It is developed by Play Mechanix and published by Raw Thrills. It is an adaptation of the ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' film.

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: seek and destroy the secret lab where Skynet conducts experiments on humans, or escort refugees to a safehouse and destroy Skynet. Player faces whole armies of T-600, T-7T, 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).

* DegradedBoss: You face a HK-Tank (the first boss) in the final area. However, you easily beat it by making the ceiling collapse on it.

* GoldenSnitch: The ending you get depends on whether you manage or fail to hit all the final boss' weakpoints within 5 seconds.

* SegmentedSerpent: The robotic worms called Hydrobots. Attack their head to end them.

* TakingYouWithMe: After placing and arming the final bomb, the final Harvester (already just a head, torso and arms) latches onto your helicopter and tries to bring it down. You have to shoot its weakpoints within ''5'' seconds to make it let go, otherwise it blows up with your helicopter.

* ZergRush: Most of the Terminators and machines, but ''especially'' Spider Mines.

* ActionBomb: Spider Mines.

* AttackItsWeakPoint

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Both the HK-Tanks and HK-Aerials use this.

* SegmentedSerpent: The robotic worms. Attack their head to end them.

* HumongousMecha: The Harvester. The HK-Tank may count as well. Getting hit by these does about a third of your life

* NintendoHard: Hoo boy. Enemies give you ''frequent'' cheap shots in this game. Even your large health bar isn't going to save you from the continue screen at least five times. i recommend you bring friends and a lot of quarters to this one.

* FakeDifficulty: There are points where it is near-impossible to take damage from the Mooks. Sometimes there may be too many, and there's not enough time to stagger those that are about to fire at you. Even a large life bar isn't going to save you.

* IncrediblyDurableEnemies: The normal mooks (T-600, T-7Ts) can take a beating before going down. Justified because they're [[MechaMooks robots]] are are ''literally'' MadeOfIron.

* ZergRush: Most of the terminators, but especially Spider Mines.

* HostageSpiritLink: Averted. You can shoot innocents, they won't even seem to get damaged, and a red X just appears over them to indicate that you shouldn't do that. This is probably because the game is really hard.
* HumongousMecha: The Harvester. The HK-Tank may count as well.

* RobotWar: It is Terminator after all.
* SegmentedSerpent: The robotic worms. Attack their head to end them.
