Mac Game News - - Review by Brice Unland, 8/10. "With an engrossing story, multiple endings, and a persistent universe it makes Terminus a one of a kind." (September, 2000)

The Adrenaline Vault - - Review by Chris Harding, 3.5/5. "The grandiose design loses its power within its own scale, and the mediocre components that make up the overall offering aren't able to expand beyond their own inadequacies." (August 26, 2000)

Macgamer's Ledge - - Review by Christian Franz, 4.5/5. "The graphics are great, the lighting effects even spectacular. The story is gripping - and even without the story line in free mode the game is still immensely gratifying." (July 30, 2000)
