Since this is, alas, a movie tie in, I have to assume that it's shovelware until I see some proof to the contrary. However, I do think it's interesting that they are following a similar formula to what I've long said I would make a Terminator game like.
A while back I said that if I was making a Terminator game, it'd take place in the future, and it would play similar to Gears of War. The difference was that my version would have had you controlling Kyle Reese (voiced by and modeled after Michael Beihn, of course), and there would also have been parts where you take control of mech walkers (think "Lost Planet"). Sure, we never saw them use mechs in the movies, but I think that they'd fit with the Terminator mythology quite nicely, and would make for an awesome gameplay element.
