The Terminator for PSP is an explosive top-down all action shooter with an episodic Story Mode and endless Quick Play mode.

The player is Kyle Reese and the objective is to help him progress through several levels to access Skynet's core. Visually, the environment is virtually the same—a desolated area full of wreckage and debris. In addition, an intense soundtrack is included as well as the weapons fire and explosion sound effects.
