Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - for the first time on next-generation console systems - allows players to become the Terminator Series signature icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger as the original Terminator. This marks the first time Schwarzenegger's voice and likeness has ever appeared in a home video game. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines features exclusive film footage created specifically for the release of the video game and not available in the motion picture. Filmed by director Jonathan Mostow, this five minute segment features Arnold Schwarzenegger and sheds new light on the mythology behind the origins of the Terminator. In addition, footage from the feature film is also used liberally throughout the game to set up key situations and story-related game elements. The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines game storyline weaves in and out of the movie script as players face enemies from the present in which the War of the Machines looms on the horizon, to the apocalyptic future where the War itself is waged on all fronts. While following the feature film's plot closely, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines goes one step further by providing fans of the Terminator series with a deeper look into the movie's universe and the role of the Terminator, a futuristic fighting machine reprogrammed to save humanity from the SkyNet holocaust.
