T3: The Redemption– Terminate those levels!

Welcome back to our T3: The Redemption promotional campaign! As we told you on Wednesday, we've teamed up with Electric Arts to show you all the features and secrets of Terminator 3: The Redemption. First we introduced you to the characters. Today, we show you how to fine tune your strategy how to terminate those levels!

The first section of T3: The Redemption puts you in Los Angeles in the year 2032. Looks like the smog situation has gotten a little out of control, not to mention Skynet's war machines are self aware and are taking over the world!

Here's the guilt trip: You are a killing machine known as the T-850, and you've just assassinated John Connor, leader of the human resistance. His wife Kate has captured you, and luckily is willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself. She's had you re-programmed and is sending you back to 2003 so you can protect John Connor and her 20 something self from a whole new threat. So you've got to get into Skynet's time displacement chamber to go into the past.

In the first act of the game, you need to chase an FK command vessel across L.A., and shoot out its engines! In level one, you'll be on the ground in the Hollywood Hills, both on foot and in a good old fashioned pick up truck! Level two continues with the big guy hitching a ride on a Tech Com helicopter. Then in level three, you finish your mission by hijacking the massive FK tank to break into Skynet's bunker. Capture the command and you'll have the data you need to be back in good old 2003 before you can say "FANTASTIC!"

The Los Angeles of 2003 should be more familiar territory for the big guy. But he's not here to hang out on the beach, not when the T-X is terrorising the town in the form of a pant suit wearing robot! HOT!

The bulk of the levels in act two put the action from the movie "Terminator 3" directly in your hands, and that is no small responsibility! I bet you've never driven a hearse before!

Check out the different types of game play you'll experience in this section of T3: The Redemption. Level four is a breath taking chase through the desert to grab John Connor and Kate Brewster before the T-X does. But the Police are after you too - so much for being a hero! But this is one cybernetic organism who's not in it for the glory. Protecting John Connor is a reward unto itself, even if he's a cry baby about it!

The chase continues in level five and you need to take out a crane, which does massive amounts of damage, so beware. You can use whatever vehicle you want.

Level six is a role reverser - the crane is chasing you, so you have to think fast to trip it up and make it out of there in once piece! You're on the run again in level seven. Both the T-850 and the T-X need to get Kate Brewster out of the SWAT van. Take it easy with that hearse cowboy!

There's another change up in level eight - you're still on the run, your roof is in shreds, and the T-X is up top trying to snag John Connor. Uh oh! Just hang on tight and practice your power slides and you'll get a real kick out of owning these levels!

Welcome to act three! This is the alternate future, and the look of it will have you thinking, "maybe I should have recycled more!" In this 'what if' world without John Connor, the T-850 needs to infiltrate Skynet to get back to 2003. Oh yeah, that'll be easy, just as soon as you take care of these mega tons and mega tons of angry robots, who view you as a traitor!

By now, the Terminator will have some excellent upgrades, so not only can he stand his ground against the T-900's, he can do it in style! In level nine, you need to reach a gargantuan FK carrier, before it deploys 200 of those nasty T-900's! Use the FK Tank to get there fast and proud.

Level ten puts you on the carrier where YOU have to take it down and then take it over! Then there's level eleven. It's good to see that surfing is still the hobby of choice in sunny Los Angeles . Whoa! Navigate through the tubes until you reach the core. Finally, in level twelve use a humungous FK bomber to reach the time displacement chamber, to resume your mission in 2003, and prepare yourself for the final showdown!

So it would seem that the T-X is pretty much indestructible. The Terminator knows that he needs to get John Connor and Kate Brewster the heck out of the military base if he wants to succeed in his mission of keeping the two alive! This is the part where things get really intense, as if it wasn't bad before!

First, in level thirteen, you need to do some creative remodelling at the airport hangar, so that the future saviours of the world can take off in their little aeroplane. Level fourteen finds you at Crystal Peak , where you've gotta keep the Terminatrix, who's now pleather free, at bay long enough for the young ones to find refuge inside. Watch it! She'll use anything at her disposal to crush the two humans!

This final section of T3: The Redemption is definitely a fast paced, high octane bunch of levels, with a final twist that you'll never expect! Think you can handle it?!
