The Angry Video Game Nerd is back with another episode and this time he is reviewing the video game adaptation of one of Hollywood's most beloved and iconic action flicks of all time - Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

As we all know, Terminator 2 was a massive hit upon its release and changed the whole landscape of action movies with its state-of-the-art visual effects and groundbreaking action sequences. But, when it comes to its video game adaptation, things didn't quite go as planned.

In this episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd takes us through the history of Terminator 2's video game adaptations. He starts with the very first Terminator game released in 1984 and then moves on to the second game released in 1991, which was based on the original Terminator 2 movie.

The Nerd then dives deep into the game itself, highlighting its various flaws and shortcomings. From terrible graphics to frustrating gameplay mechanics, the video game adaptation of Terminator 2 fails to capture the essence of the movie.

He also points out that the game designers have made some key changes to the story and characters, which only add to the confusion and frustration of the game. The Nerd's frustration towards the game is evident throughout the review, as he struggles to even get past the first level.

But, that's not all - the Angry Video Game Nerd also takes some time to talk about another Terminator 2 game that was released later on for the Sega Genesis console. This game was supposed to be an improved version of the previous games but the Nerd finds that it falls short of expectations as well.

As we all know, games based on popular movies have always been hit or miss, and Terminator 2's video game adaptation is no exception. This episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd highlights the stark differences between Hollywood and the gaming industry, and how adapting a movie to a video game can be a double-edged sword.

In conclusion, this episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd is a must-watch for fans of the Terminator franchise and anyone who loves gaming. It's also a great reminder that not all video game adaptations of popular movies are worth playing, and sometimes the original movie is the best way to experience the story.
