“Good game and fun...”

“Solid game, solid price, solid theme. If you can find one in nice shape it can be a great addition.”

“One of the best looking machines!”

“Prepare to be terminated! Great fun pin, one of the better in the lesser cost range..”

“I owned this machine for just over a year but I had to let it go. It was not just that I needed the room for another game but that over time, we played the game less and less. Guests coming over liked to play the game but once you get more than a few games on it, you find that the shallow rules can kill the fun and it is hard to justify spending time on the game. If you have the room or a large collection, this game makes a great decoration all lit up.”

“fun fun fun,could do without video aspect.nice and bright play area.keeper”

“I had a lot of fun on this one. After a number of plays, I wanted this one for home use. After reading some of the other reviews, it seems everyone else had thought the same thing at some point. People describe playing this game A LOT when they first got their hands on it, then tiring of it after a while. I'll rate this game based on the fun I'd have on it now, and adjust in the future if necessary. I love the orange around the inserts that T2 and Demo Man both share - I think I'm alone on that one.”

“the game i grew up playing at the space port arcade in the king of prussia mall. When it came out in 1991, I had never seen anything like it. Sure, checkpoint technically had the 1st DMD, but this is the one everyone remembers. Video mode, pinball cannon, terminator theme and Arnold's voice saying classic lines can't be beat. Game is fast and beautiful and will never get old. Can't see myself parting with my machine, and the machine that I think of 1st when I think of pinball.”

“Multiball is intense! I would love to own this someday. Lots to do. Great to hear Arnie say, "Awesome."”

“First, i LOVE Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!
Love Terminator movies, this effects this rating alot.
I love the backglass, Arnolds voice and all.
Gameplay is simple, very simple, shoot the 2 ramps over and over again, and get to payback time...
Gameplay gets better and better!
Remember to upgrade the sounds, to hear Arnold say, Fak u Asshollll!
Try it before buy it :-)”

“Solid game more ramp shots to rank up. Would like to have seen more chrome instead of light blue.”

“Liked the theme and sounds but the music is bad for my taste. Cool toys and dot matrix animations!”

“T2 is the game everyone remembers from the early 90s shoveling coins into. As with many of SR pins, it had many firsts, and had a superior theme, given other movie pins in the 90s.

The play given the time, is not bad for rules. The scoring however is unbalanced, so much so that the only thing worth going for is the Super Jackpot for 50M. If this was made to be less, and other features maybe a little more, there would be more pressure to play this machine to its max. The video mode, being the first one, is still one of the better ones out there.

It just seems to be all about skull, and cannon shots.

Everyone wants one when they get back into the hobby, as there are so many, most get one at some point, and most move them along. Given how big of a smash it was though, it still seems to be rising in value.

EDIT - I bought a second with intentions of selling, and this one is much nicer than my first. After shopping, I found the play much harder and challenging than my first, and the super JP to be much more difficult to achieve. As such, I don't believe it to be as unbalanced as I thought. As it was a machine I played a lot back in the day, I believe I will be keeping this one.”

“This was always the first game I looked for going into an arcade.”

“Nice flow but needs something, a bit of a one trick pony.”

“Pretty basic but fun game. Lots of flow but is pretty easy to master.”

“Simple but classy”

“Simple and straightforward (maybe not deep enough) but what is there is great! And then there's Arnie :-)”

“This a ramp shot game with some decent features and great theming. Its a game that just asked to be ledded out. The are enough features and missions to keep this interesting for a while, not sure about the lastability after a year or so though.”

“One of the better Fan layouts

Own(ed): Yes

Times Played: 100s

Positives:
T2 is a classic. Extremely fun and addicting, at first. Skull shot is very satisfying as is the right orbit. Gun is a great toy. Great light show.

Negatives:
Game gets old faster than most. Once you have got the shots down and can consistently get Super Jackpots, the fun is gone. Artwork is a bit lame.

Recomendation:
Recommended for a first pin or when just beginning.”

“Great game, especially like the gun on the playfield. Always fun to play.”

“Great movie, good pinball”

“Not deep but deffinately fun in a decent size collection of pins. I've always liked playing this game and the movie is one of the best of all time. A rare Bally/Williams machine based off a good movie.”

“I used to love this game as a kid and fortunately played it a lot this weekend. Like all rose-tinted memories though, it wasn't quite as good as I remember it. The machine is stunning to look at and I love the design and layout of the playfield. Unfortunately, the game play is just so so. Alternate the ramps, shoot the loops and there you have it. Meh.”

“I've played this before, and played it tonight. Really has a specific Williams feel. Playfield is nice, open without being boxed in. Shots are well thought out and really flowing. The downside might be the Terminator 2 theme and pistol grip.”
