Even though the fountain of blood looks a bit unrealistic, the satisfaction you get from doing that is amazing. Though they are all done in a different manner, all of them have the same result - a fountain of blood before instant death. Stabbing the dinosaur is done differently for each kind of dinosaur, and they are all done ruthlessly and very swiftly. My favorite part of the game is stabbing the dinosaur whether the dinosaur is the size of your leg or ten times bigger than you. There are many species of dinosaurs in the game and all of them look very real, you can even notice a small amount of reflection of the sun on the dinosaur's body or even on the knife that you are just about to use to murder the dinosaur. Then as the game wears on, the graphics are mostly presented with the dinosaurs. It can also get scary because the graphics allow you to see a small movement of a large piece of metal before it falls a few millimeters away from you. ![]() The wreckage is displayed really nicely with all the crumpled metal parts and the sparks of electricity emerging every few seconds. The first mission teaches you all the controls of the game while you find a way out of this wreckage, the other man leads the way though he soon dies and you are left **** a bit.Īs soon as you are playing as Turok in the first person perspective, you should notice the average effort put into this game while making the graphics. You then wake up still in the wreckage of the ship, you have one man by your side. ![]() However, before even entering the planet's atmosphere, you are hit by a missile or something. But before anything else happens the space ship that you are in reaches its destination. They don't like him because Turok used to be on another squad and he betrayed them, so nobody trusts him yet. He has just been recruited into a squad with other people that look as tough as him, though nobody likes him very much at a glance. You play as a rough and tough guy named Turok. Turok has taken this very path, it has been almost forgotten, and sometimes while playing the game, i can see why. Those games which have an average hype into the market, but then is forgotten after some time. Overall, Turok is a good game if you can handle the testicle-crushingly cruel difficulty and occasional rage inducing stealth segments, it's not quite Seeds of Evil but it's still pretty damn good.Įvery now and again one of those games emerge into the market. This isn't quite so bad though seeing as the 'guns blazing' option is always available (even if it comes at the price of your support characters being snarky towards you) so you're not punished too badly for screwing it up. The stealth segments in the game just **** majorly, success at sneaking just feels completely arbitrary and your stealth weapons either draw lots of attention to you ('oh **** did yo just hear an arrow kill the guy down the corridor from you!') or are just plain awful (try aiming with the bow, it will take a while to get the hang of it). The dinosaurs that inhabit the game world can vary between being a useful tool and distraction to being colossal pains in the backside, luring them over to enemies with the flare gun almost never seems to work but on the up side it's almost laughably easy to stab most dinosaurs to death with the knife (even on Inhuman difficulty, entire packs of raptors can become as threatening as newborn kittens if you remember to use the knife executions to the exclusion of all else). There's nothing like the Cerebral Bore or the Nuke, the closest they get is with the sticky bomb gun (which in itself isn't all that impressive), overall the weapons just feel boring and half-arsed and there's little variety (you've played any shooter recently, you've seen the entire arsenal at your disposal already). ![]() The weapons are pretty bland considering the rich history of sheer insanity that's come from other Turok games. Yes, there is the whole business with Kane training dudes for some personal army and how the planet is some weird prehistoric petri dish but you'll honestly find yourself more concerned by the fact that you just stabbed a Dilophosaur to death (and that it was AWESOME). All you need to know is that you crash landed on a planet, there are dinosaurs everywhere and you're badass enough to grapple them and stab their asses into extinction (a second time). The story for the most part is.forgettable. I will admit that I was disappointed that this wasn't like the good old days of Turok on the N64 but at the same time this game still managed to be fun and enjoyable (even if it's difficulty was located somewhere between merciless and 'go f**k yourself').
