Unused G36 Assault Rifle

Debug Menu

To do: Document more of the pause screen debug menu.

Two debug menus left in the game can be re-enabled with the following GameShark / CodeBreaker codes:

With the above code on you will come across the main debug menu when you boot up the game for the first time. The second debug menu replaces the pause screen in game.

Main debug menu controls and options:

• Main = Takes you to the main menu.
• Quick Start = Takes you to a level select menu.
• NIS Test = View all in game cutscenes here. Inside this menu you will need to use the D-Pad to move up and down. Pressing START will take you back into this menu when you are viewing a cutscene.
• Exec = Plays the demo version of Terminator 3: Redemption.

• 

  Main debug screen upon first boot of the game.

• 

  Inside the Quick Start menu.

• 

  Inside the NIS Test menu. Levels with blank descriptions will likely crash the game.

Pause Screen Debug Menu

Various debug options can be enabled in game with the second debug menu. You can enable various cheats, debug displays, change the level you are on, spawn enemies (which spawn as allies), listen to all the sfx in the game, and change various modes such as being able to control the camera and free fly anywhere.
