Successful product designs are often copied in the gaming industry. While many fantastic games take their cues from previous classics, there are also many lackluster clones that do little to advance the genre or even fail to execute concepts as well as their predecessors. Terminator 3: War of the Machines falls into the latter category. As a team-based shooter with vehicles, the game strives to recapture the magic of Battlefield 1942 in a sci-fi setting but fails miserably.
