Glad I rented it first

Okay so let me start out by saying this, I am SOOOO glad I only rented this game before I bought it. Its terrible. The Turok for the N64 was a fun game and don't get me wrong there are some fun points to this game (the bow and arrow was and is still awesome) but other than that this game is repetitive and boring. In the old Turok you could hold a multitude of weapons and while yes I know in real life you could only carry so many weapons with you isn't 1/2 the fun of a FPS carrying a ton of weapons and being able to choose between which ones you want. The programmers in this game force you to only carry 2 weapons at a time (in addition to your bow and knife and a sparse grenade that has been scattered here and there). So lets move on to my biggest pet peeve. Whenever you are hurt you basically go blind. Think Call of duty 4 right before death but on the 2nd shot (and not just blood surrounding your eyes the whole screen goes blurry). Which of course since you can't see anything you die very easily after only being hit once or twice (which gets REALLY old when you have to play the same level 20 times b/c you can't ever see). The game itself "tries" to have a story line but doesn't do to good a job of it. The dinosaurs themselves are pretty cool. I did like

Turok

All I can say is this game sux.It is nothing like Turok of past days.I have played all the Turok games before this one.Was so looking forward to this version.Even finally bought PS3 to play it.Wow what a let down.Sold it after three days,that bad.
With the add of a side kick for Turok is what really killed it.Turok always fights alone.And that is what I always loved about he games before,among other things.
Ok,I must say one positive thing of the game,graphics are very good.But that is all.

Nothing new to do or to see here

It's a boondoggle, a rip-off of the Turok franchise. There's nothing here, story, controls, weapons, play, that continues the Turok tradition. Glitches, no customizing, it's a weak programming effort. Basically, this product is a scam on the customers who liked the former games.

Many better FPS games than this: Resistance, Call of Duty, etc.

disappointed

Turok for N64 was much better. Graphics and play ability are not ps3 quality. Didn't want to kill dinosaurs. Wanted to kill mutant dinosaurs. They only thing this had above N64 version was dual analog. It was to dark most of the game and glitchy. I didn't like the button sequencing either. If I wanted to do that I'd got third person game instead of first person shooter. I think the T Rex ate me from 100 yds away

Hard not to throw the controller across the room!

Turok sucks! Period. The save points are horrendous. The graphics are not up to par for next gen. The enemies are faster than oyu and never miss when they shoot at you. When you get hit, the screen goes blurry and by the time you get your bearings, you're dead. The weapons are outright lame. It takes so many shots to take down enemy soldiers. If you like FPSers like COD4, Resistance, and Bad Company, you will hate this game. Everythin g that makes those games great is utterly absent from Turok. What a waste. Frustrating beyond belief.

Unfilled Poetential

Im a huge Turok fan. I was 11 when I saw the first commercial for the original Turok and my mouth was to the floor. Needless to say Turok was something I grew up playing. I even played the Gameboy versions and loved them.Ive seen great game, Turok and Turok 2, Ive seen ok, Turok 3, and Ive also seen horrible..Rage Wars.So where does this new Turok rank? Unfortuantly at horrible. I wanted to love this game but Ive never been so dissapointed, (Rage Wars looked like it was gunna suck from the get go, this one had potential.) Where do I start? Well to me Turoks strongest aspect was its story. I loved the lost land and the light burden and how the title of Turok was something passed down generations. WHat do we get here? A story that starts out promising and then goes in the trash. Like other reviewers said it disseapears. I was ok with the fact that they reimagined the whole thing but honestly this isnt worth it. The original story was leagues above this one. Graphics? Decent at best. EVerything looks like it needed more polish. Weapons, the thing that stood out the most in turok games, absolutly cannot hold a candle to the originals. Now you have a knife,bow,machine gun, a handgun that shoots energy grenades, pulse rifle, a weak sniper rifle, and a shotgun. Thats it!! Wheres the rocket launchers, cerebral bores, or any of the other cool weapons from the series? Oh and the shotguns lame, in turok 2 the shotgun would blow things in half and decapitate raptors. In the new game you just see blood get on the dinos and they die, thats it. Gameplay?? FLAWED. I like a challenge but its just not fair when a soldiers on a turret and they have a perfect aim at you, Trial and error is the way here and you WILL die alot. Worst part is the load times are long and theres plenty of situations when You'll die the first few seconds the mission starts then what? ANother load screen. And boss battle?? Well the T-Rex is it. and thats not even fun. Run around blasting in circles. That couldve been an epic battle that falls short. Turoks main nemesis Kain???? Its nothing mroe than an interactive cutscene. LAME!!!!!!!!!!!! Overall its not a good game, Mediocre at best. Trust me its not worth the 60$ to play. And Im a HUGE TUROK FAN. Im dissapointed and I hope a game developer can realize the potential this series has and take it to the next level.

I give up on it

I waited awhile for this game to available to rent figuring it would be great. I was a bit disappointed. The graphics seemed to dark with not enought contrast. It's either green or shadows - making it kinda hard on the eyes.
I played it for a few hours and then gave up and probably won't play it again and definitely won't buy it. Biggest complaint? The save points suck!! You work and work to fight your way through, you get almost there and then get killed. Gotta start all the way back and do it all over again. They REALLY should have made a quicksave feature. If it had that I'd probably still be playing. Maybe I'm not the best gamer but I really don't have hours to spend trying to get through one small portion. So I give up and will look for something else a little more user friendly.

Bought it, played it, didn't like it....

I bought this game based on the previous editions and the hype {I know huge mistake}. This game is boring, repetitive and the save points are terrible. As if the boards aren't bad enough, if you get killed you have to go all the way back to the start and repeat the whole boring thing over again. There is little in the way of entertainment, I finally just put it down. I suggest renting before you buy because I bet you won't like it. I know I wish I had.

As a Turok fan I beg you to rent this first.

While its graphicaly impressive, It really misses the mark. The gore factor that was expected of Turock sadly is no longer here. The weapons arsenal was laughable at best. And the game is not balanced at all. What is the point of having a Sniper riffle here??. The enemies can see you hidding at 30 yards and will shoot and hit you with machine gun fire no less. The sentry guards with miniguns are "terminator precise".....every one is . The T-Rex at the end can take more than 5 rocket laucher missiles (the missiles are enough to destroy a ship). Allthough the sentry removal with the blade is completly realistic and probably borrowed from FMA , it became repetitive. If you die close to the exit of a level you have to restart from the beginning. 95% of the time when you die you wont know how it happened beacuse the enemies can hit you from miles away or they magicaly appear from somewhere behind you. Doing later levels becomes a matter of memorizing them since you will die a lot. It became very repetitive. The fans of this Turok tittle will be dissapointed. Last but not least it was short. In my opinion the Playsation 2 version of Turok was better than this. The levels here are very linear. The computer has the capability of producing an unlimited amount of raptors coming out of burrows(you can literary kill a 100 and more will come out of a tiny hole). The programers truly wasted the potential this game had. It was waisted as much as using the full support of Lucas Arts special effects studios to film a sissy romantic comedy. All this time waiting for this tittle and it under delivered. How do I get my money back???

Disappointed

OK so I'm officially done with Turok. If you already have COD4 or Ghost Recon, or even Resistance Fall Of Man, there's no need to waste your money on this piece of crap. I had high anticipations and expectations for this game but it is highly repeatitive and you only get to use the same old lame guns from begining to end. I've been playing this game for some time and I don't think I'll be finishing it. The save points are f*cktarded and after playing twenty minutes of shooting dinosaurs, you get shot up by some CGI creep and have to start all the way back again. Save your money, don't even rent this. I'm going to be giving mine away.
