I agree with Gamespot, killing dinosaurs is the best part of the game.
Turok
I wasn't expecting a lot from this game but when I played the demo, I was thinking if I should buy it. The game was releasing the same day has Devil May Cry 4 and at my video game shop, the two were in a pack that coast 100$, so I bought it. Devil May Cry 4 was the principal reason why I bought it, so Turok was in my head 30$. I did a good deal. Now the real review begins.
Turok is another first-person shooter than doesn't beat the great ones that are on the market. For example Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament 3, Resistance: Fall of Man, etc.
The graphics is one of the good parts of the game, because there are really well done. The sensation to be in the jungle and to be surrounded by dinosaurs are really cool. The only problem with them, is that when you get to go in the labs and basements, the graphics looks not so good compared to when you're out. The sounds are well done and when you're playing with the optical sounds are that you got sub woofers, the sensation to ear a dinosaur coming out from a hiding spot is really good and sometimes breath-taking.
The gameplay is one other part which gives the game a strong point. The gun aspect is good but looks like other shooters. But! The bow system and knife system is really cool. Okay the bow is a bit useless to kill dinosaurs and the mercenaries, but the engine is cool. The knife is the coolest part of your equipment. Each dinosaurs and human (sometimes) has a different way to be killed by this weapon. Like I said the gameplay is cool, but it gets repetitive after a while.
The story is okay. You're a guy named Joseph Turok and you a new member of a team that wants to capture a bad guy which was the guy that formed you when you were young. The ship where you are has a problem and crashes on a planet which there is the bad guy and his army and dinosaurs.
The game has his bads too. There could be a normal co-op mode, but no there is an online one and it is not very good. The other online modes aren't good has well. I didn't play a lot to them and I will probably wont do it again. The artificial intelligence is frustrating, because sometimes there rubbish and other times they're too hard. In addition to be frustrating to kill, they have an armor which you need to use a bunch of ammunition to kill them. Really frustrating. But when you use your knife and do a combo you kill them by one shot.
So in a few words, the game is good, but a bit hard when you get to kill humans and that the gameplay is really cool but repetitive. Also that its a FPS so the game might be short and that it isn't the best game on the market, but that Turok worth a rent for trying it.
Thanks for reading my review and hope you'll had know what you needed about Turok.
