Gamespot submits yet another poorly written review. This time for Turok.

I suppose you have to have an IQ lower than 100 to understand the stupidity....

Gamespot's "The Bad":

• Few checkpoint saves add to frustration (It's not my fault if you suck at the game. I'm progressing just fine on Hard. I mean seriously how can you say Turok is hard? Turok on Hard is freaking easy. Here's a tip, GET BETTER.)
• Human opponents aren't dinosaurs. (I'm not even gonna go into details about how stupid that remark was)

Turok is not an amazing game by any means. It's a good game though. Graphics are amazing because they're powered by the Unreal Engine. The campaign is very fun. The only letdown is the multiplayer. (In my eyes, maybe not to some. :P )

I just think that if a site like Gamespot is going to take over 2 weeks to write a review, they atleast need to find a person who is QUALIFIED.

Terrible multiplayer?

I was up till 3 in the morning playing it. The multiplayer owns dude.

This has nothing to do with how poorly written the reivew was.

Your thread is poorly written.

who cares what they think.Its just a game

Maybe I should have thought my thread threw more. I'll try harder next time. :)

Sorry, if I wasted your time. :P

I was just saying, disagree with the review all you want, but it wasn't really a matter of how well it was written.. and more of how wrong it was.PiNwOrM

Well, personally I believe that if a person is going to be a writter then they need to have some talent in expressing something in an intellegent and intellectual way.

Maybe I should be grateful that Gamespot hires 4th graders to write reviews for games?

From what I've played, Turok is better than a 7/10. There's many things that should be better in it...many, many things...but it's far from a bad game.

The one thing very very wrong with the "review" is the complaint about there being human enemies. That tells me that the reviewer obviously hasn't played any Turok games before. And it's a short written review as well. Clearly rushed. I guess the people complaining about "no Turok review yet" are regretting one being made so haphazardly.

Myself, I like Turok so far...except for the horrible A.I.

So because you disagree with there review it makes them Unitellegentquader_ac400

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I gave it a 7.5

Research before posting comments that make you look stupid.

EDIT: lol, I should have spell checked before posting, now I look stupid.

I was going to say how it was written fine, then I sort of realized you're right. But this is the price to pay for losing Navarro and Gretsman. :/.

If the game was really poor, then I guess it deserves a bad review. If you like Turok, I'm sure it's not what you would like to hear from a review, but let's face it; Turok isnt that great. And they've show this time over time that this series will never achieve the hiatus that BioShock or Call of Duty 4 recieved. Because, quite frankly, it's good but it isnt great.

7.0 is far from a bad score. You said there are many, many things wrong with it, so why is 7.0 so bad? 8.0 and up should be handed out to games that excel in all areas, not games that are sometimes good and bad in "many, many areas".

Looks like everyone missed the humor.

What the reviewer is saying as mentioned in "The Good" section "You get to battle dinosaurs". All he means is that fighting the dinosaurs is so much fun, that when it comes time to fight humans it's just not as fun because...........THEY AREN"T DINOSAURS.

clowning on Jason Ocampo, shame on you fellow gamer :| Turok seems like it was fairly rated... no complaints on my end.

If you're going to criticize the reviewer at least show that you know what YOU are talking about. It's obvious that you don't because if you've spent enough time on GS you would definitely know who Jason Ocampo is - and you would know that he is one the main FPS reviewers for this site and has been for some time now.

Generally speaking Jason is a good reviewer who knows his stuff. I don't always agree with him, but I don't have to. At the very least I respect his opinion.

If you can do better, apply for the job. After all, there are new openings that just came available...

Oh yeah, and 2 weeks? The game was released on the 5th, that's 6 days ago.

You know what I'm sick of? I'm sick of users on a video game reviewing website's forum criticising the actual professional reviews of games on said website just because the reviewer gives the game 1 or .5 points less than that particular user feels that particular game deserves. Yeah, you're not fooling anyone. We all know this isn't about semantics or grammatical flow, it's about scores. God forbid someone has a dissenting opinion. I, for one, feek Turok is an average game and a 7 is fine and accurate. Don't like Gamespot's reviews? Feel they're all shabby? Then leave.

Gamespots negative points are far more accurate than yours (terrible multiplayer...)

The review was average. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was poorly written, it just was vague. There was a time when the reviews were a little more in-depth; it seemed like the review could have included alot more about the game then it did.

As far as the 7.0 score I think that is pretty close to what the game deserved, I probably would have given the game a 7.5, but I also am not as harsh on games as a lot of people are.

Turok is garbage, games like this and assasins creed are whats wrong with videogames today...

I happened to agree with the last review that was supposed to be "badly written" if you mean Kane & Lynch, why is gamespot always critisized for their ratings. Would you rather them play it safe and just copy another site or take an average? No, if you wanna play mindless dino killing with a badly written story, horrible controls, and repeating cutscenes of a guy killing dinos with a knife go ahead but the game remains garbage.

I'll leave you with this, one of my favorite games for the 360 in Conan because I've read the REH stories but it definitly doesnt belong in the top games...

The best part of the entire review was "Human opponents aren't dinosaurs." That made me laugh very very hard. If you've played Turok 2 on the N64, you know what it's like to battle all non-human enemies.

The review was well written and made a thorough explanation of what the game lacks, and what the game excels at.

I'm surprised it got such a high score (7/10).

The makers of Turok didn't pay Gamespot enough to get a well written review.jstarzyk

That and it is not another HALO 3 or CoD4 so yeah it TOTALLY SUCKS FOR NOT BEING JUST LIKE CoD4. I have started to learn not to trust ANY reviews. I remember when I was really getting into games in the late 90s how much fun it was not knowing about GameSpot or any video game reviews. I had nothing to cloud my judgement at all and i really enjoyed it and took the games for what they were. Sure i made mistakes with certain games but atleast it was not as big of a mistake as thinking "How huge is the online multiplayer.. Hmm only 24? this game sucks"

As true as that is... I trust Game Spot for the most part... And I don't care how high of a review they give a game, if I really want it, I'm going to buy it... And if the game is a Wild Card, so to speak, then I'll trust Game Spot, and only get it if it gets a 8.0 or above, it's worked so far.........

I am gonna back Gamespot on this one for two reasons:

1. You should read what each score means and you said it yourself "Turok is a GOOD game" a 7.0 rating according to gamespot is a GOOD game. I find that a lot of users on this site don't give enough credit to 7.0 and 7.5 games, especially when they have some personal attatchment to the game and thing it deserves perfect scores.

2. Second point, the reason gamespot most likely didn't post the review sooner is because of their company policy. Gamespot will not post reviews for games that score under 8.0 or 7.5 until after the game has been released (if the game was advertised on gamespot).
