Turok for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This edition of the Turok series is by far the best looking, and most intense. Every detail has been given loving attention and it shows all over the world Turok is forced to try and stay alive. trapped on an alien world inhabited by various Jurassic creatures Turok must cope with not only Dinos', enemy soldiers and a hostile environment, but also his own fellow team. Turok is viewed as a traitor by his fellow crew mates and it seems that he is in relatively constant danger of being shot in the back. This aspect of the game adds some intriguing back story and depth but not a ton worth calling this a great story.

Enemies are often incredibly difficult to shoot down, and the aiming system although customizable is painfully spastic and hard to control for a clean shot. Often even on the Normal difficulty the game presents extreme challenges that really end up being so aggravating that the game loses its fun appeal and turns in to an angry venture in frustration. Some choke points are worth overcoming, but as the game progresses that very challenge which many will enjoy becomes too much worth continuing.
Enemies seem able to often just dance between chain gun bullets unscathed and when you can see without any doubt that you pulled off a clean dead on shot they just continue attacking you as if they had never been touched. At one point I was fighting some flying acid spitting bugs, shooting them point blank and yet they just keep flying and attacking in an endlessly spawning barrage of impossibility. That is just stupid, and not fun.

Turok is a beautiful game worth the rental if you have amazing patience and jedi reflexes, otherwise forget this horribly frustrating shooter.
