* ConservationOfNinjitsu: You only fight one T-800 in the entire game, and it's a lengthy, full-on boss fight that shows just how tough a Terminator is.


Added DiffLines:

* MechaMooks: Instead of fighting T-800s, your primary enemies in the game are cruder, more boxy and robotic-looking T-400s and T-500s. Instead of hyperalloy, these guys seem to be made of standard components and are pretty easily scrapped with standard automatic weapons.
