Today I am writing a mid-core gamer review for Turok. You can read more about my reviews in my first review here.
Title: Turok
The Good:
I have never played the original Turok, so I am not going to be comparing the two in this review. I will be review this game based on its own merit. Turok starts off with the usual sci-fi craziness. You are an American Indian in a cryo chamber, when suddenly you are awaken to the sounds of your ship being attacked and not to long after it crashes. From this point forward you are trying to save your buddies, fight dinosaurs, and begin to explore some lush environments. Turok moves relatively smooth through out the whole game. I never found myself beginning to yawn or getting frustrated at the difficulty. The controls are easy to use on the basic level, mostly Halo type stuff. If you get lost you can easily click the left thumb-stick to find the next place to go. The graphics are better then Halo 3, and almost as good as Gears of War. The most fun I had was convincing the dinosaurs to eat the enemies, which a times could be challenging. The weapons provided are fun to use, the bow and arrow could tag an enemy from a very far distance. The shooting the gun I refer to it as , “The Sticky Gun”, is similar to the sticky grenades from Halo 3, sticking to the enemy and then exploding. Enemies can and will flank you, and the boss battles are pretty fun.
