Whenever I asked someone if they had played Turok, the answer usually sounded something like "The new one? or the good one on N64?" That discouraged me for quite awhile from trying this game. Then I decided, what the heck, put it in the Q and lets see what happens.
From the very first set of cut scenes, before any gameplay, there was one thing that made me say, "This game shows some promise." Two words - Ron Perlman. NICE!! I LOVE THAT GUY!! There are few that do better sarcastic humor than Ron. If you don't know who he is, (HOW? WHY?) it's Hellboy, or for you older folks, Beast from the old Beauty and the Beast TV series.
Anyway, once you get into the game, the storyline itself is pretty cool, and the gameplay is pretty much like every other shooter on the market. Of course being Turok, there had to be lots of dinos, and I must say, overall they were done pretty well. It would have been nice to see a few more non-lethal ones though, maybe a Triceratops or Stegosaurus in there somewhere, but I guess we can't have it all. Of course there are evil humans trying to get you as well, who bare a striking resemblance to Helghast from Killzone might I add.
Overall, the graphics are pretty darn good the AI of the humans is better than I've seen in a lot of nextgen shooters, the dino AI however, not quite as good, you can kill pretty much every raptor with your knife if you time it right.
Overall though, I really enjoyed Turok, and by the way, the cast doesn't end with Perlman, Timothy Olyphant, Powers Booth, and lil Donnie Wahlberg join in the fun too. Not too shabby.
So don't listen to your friends, give it a rent. You won't regret it. Wow that was a long review.
