Terminator 3 on the GBA is one of those licensed games that actually doesn’t suck—surprising, right? You play as the T-850 (basically Arnold), blasting through levels with a mix of run-and-gun action and some light puzzle-solving. The controls are tight, and the sprite work nails that grimy, future-war vibe.

First mission drops you right into a collapsing freeway, dodging debris while mowing down T-1s. The shotgun feels satisfyingly chunky, though you’ll want to conserve ammo—some enemies take way too many hits. Later levels get weirdly creative, like a stealth section where you sneak past HK drones. Not perfect, but way more effort than most movie tie-ins.

If you’re into 2000s-era handheld action, this one’s a solid time killer.
