He feels no pity, no pain, no fear, he's a remorseless killing machine, and it's nothing personal - so why does the Arnie character in Terminator 2 seem to spend most of his time involved in lame bouts of fisticuffs?

It's a nice rag bag of styles and stimuli, and generally what makes T2 such a success is the sheer variety of what's on offer. Each section may not be mindblowingly exciting, but lumped together they provide a challenge that's constantly got a trick up its sleeve. Enjoyable, but... it could have been better. Welcome to Judgment Day.

There are seven levels in all, three where T101 and T1000 (you and him respectively) do their best to punch, kick, knee and headbutt each other into submission, two where a frantic car (bike/helicopter/lorry etc) chase calls for masses of grit and co-ordination, and two pictorial puzzles where extra energy can be gained by literally re-arranging Arnie's arm and face! The fight sections are fun but rather limited, the chase scenes will have you somewhere near the edge of your seat, and the puzzles are guaranteed to make you rip out gigantic tufts of hair in frustration.

Terrific Terminator 2 is totally the tops for tension and takes this tomes title for tenacity!
