So Close but No Cigar........

User Rating: 6 | Turok X360
In my opinion Turok IS a bad game as it pleads guilty to one of my pet hates, unfairness. Countless times I was cursing the TV as if it had disrespected me personally. I was stuck on invisible scenery, killed for no apparent reasons, died many times watching the cutscene bit of me climbing off the ladder on the two counters/bombs part and the final boss, well what can I say, apart from the time I got eaten by the T-Rex in front of me DESPITE the fact even my wife saw I had clearly turned tail and run away from it. This end boss must get a prize for the most cowardly boss fight of all time. Once I figured out the way to kill it was running around the containers hiding and shooting I found the boss incredibly easy but felt much less a hero.
On top of this Turok was billed as a game playable by stealth, I found this a joke. i.e. sniping on one of a group of enemies from a distance whilst under cover and the rest could pinpoint your position immediately.
However, this game did possess an appeal which made me play through the adversity to the bitter end and between the annoyances I did enjoy the game but was eager to see the end credits nonetheless. So all in all I rate this 6 and regard this as a generous six.
