A lot of the stuff I say here can apply to the base game, but Terminator Resistance is easily the best Terminator game ever made, it has tons of fan service from homaging Brad Fidel's score, connections to the first 2 movies, characters like Kyle Reese and John Connor popping up(the former this DLC focuses on), and just being the Skynet Future War story that Salvation only partly delivered on.
The story in the DLC is better than the main game especially because it focuses heavily on Kyle Reese(my favorite character in the series and Terminator 1 being my favorite movie in the series), and it gives more of an interesting personal stake for Jaccob Rivers, the protagonist with his whole finding the truth about his father and everyone doubting if Kyle Reese and John Connor are doing. The main menu theme is also fantastic as well.
If you are Terminator fan, this game is a must play.
But this is where my praise ends, while the game isn't *bad*, as a shooter it isn't very good since shooting lacks any kind of impact or geniune feedback, makes sense considering you are fighting Terminators, but it doesn't make for enjoyable shooting gameplay, and there are lots of shooting sections in this game so the enemies being tanks that barely react to getting shot and barely get hurt when down makes for a dull shooter.
The stealth is also really terrible, even on the lowest setting, enemies spot you way too fast and stealth often consists of you hoping the enemy awareness meter doesn't fill up fast enough when going from cover to cover, or when you do get caught, you run away and hope the enemies stop noticing you and get back to the objective. The crafting and inventory is mainly just there to give the player something to look for and to give the whole, "at nights you can move around" that the first movie hinted at.
I mainly got this DLC because of me being such a big fan of Terminator 1 and on the story front, it delivered, but as a game, it's a solid Terminator game, but not a very good game on it's own, I give it a lower score if I wasn't a Terminator fan.
