Play T2 - The Arcade Game (USA, Europe) Online

Blasting through waves of blocky Terminators with a controller feels like a watered-down arcade port—it’s got the Arnold cameos, but the tinny gunfire gets old fast.

Game Overview

Okay, so T2: The Arcade Game is one of those titles where the arcade cabinet was way cooler than the actual game. Those giant Uzi light guns? Absolute vibe. But on the Genesis, you’re stuck with a controller, and honestly, it’s just… fine.

You’re basically mowing down Terminators in a straight-line shooter—no surprises, no real strategy, just blasting away. The SNES version at least looks closer to the arcade, but here? It’s blocky, the sound effects are kinda tinny, and after a few levels, you realize you’ve seen everything it has to offer. Fun for a quick nostalgia trip, but don’t expect much depth.

Still, if you’re a die-hard Terminator fan, it’s neat to see the old-school pixelated Arnold face popping up between waves of robots.
