For those who don't know what Turok is, here is a short describtion: One of the best first person shooters on any console. It is about a hunter who uses tons of weapons to kill dinosaurs, simple. Now the Gamecube version will hit on september and it looks awesome. I saw on a video that you could use a flying device and many massive weapons. It also includes a very fun and addictive mulitplayer in which you can choose more than 8 characters. The graphics look fantastic, as well as the world and nature effects (sounds that make you feel you are actually in a jungel). This is going to be A DEFINITE HIT AND A MUST HAVE!!

Early in the year, I was skeptical about Turok based upon some very early Quicktime movies I'd seen at IGN.com. However, when I saw the game at E3, I was completely floored. While the beautiful textures and top-notch audio were to be expected, the A.I. is better than anything I've seen before. It was already breathtaking, and just think how much better it will be in September at launch!

I must confess, this game looked significantly better than Metroid Prime. This is the one FPS to own this fall -- and yes, Metroid is a FPS, not an adventure game :) I've pre-ordered my copy of Turok, and I suggest you do likewise!

TUROK ROCKS!!!

You've got to admit, the graphics are awesome on this game! By looking at the screenshots and movies, you can tell that this game has got to be the best game that involves the slaughter of prehistoric beasts. And when I saw the dinos you were killing, (Raptors, Compys, T-Rexes, etc.) I was even more eager to get it! My B-day's coming up, and you can guess what's on it!

Just pre-ordered -- AAA FPS

Just put my preorder in. Judging from what I've read on IGN, Gamespot, Game Informer, etc. I have to say this has the potential to be the FPS of the year. It's also a BIG game according to the previews, so I'm looking forward to getting some quality time in with the over the top turok arsenal.

Sick!

when is comes the FPS's (first person shooter) the Turok Line of games is one of the best. its the only game that you get to kill most everything in your path for the forces of good... and get rocken guns to do it. this game happens to be a prequill and i know how some may go " holy [crud] now where are we" dont fret were still in the lost land fighting as the fireseed's only the graphics are better sound is all arouynd you and the baddies are smarted... yeha you herd me smarter.. using team tatics that even our military can aploud. lets just say when it comes to a game every turok. books, comics, games... there all worh the money. this will be a definite buy if you have the cash and you like to kill for blood...

Great game once you get past the first few levels

Warning! If you have this game but have only tried the first couple of levels, read this before you decide to return it to the store or put it up for auction.

I opened Turok yesterday, put it into my Gamecube, played for about an hour, and got a horrible feeling of regret for buying this game before trying it out first. I was on the verge of putting it on Ebay. These levels are terrible, and quite possibly some of the most painful gaming moments I've ever had. I decided to bite the bullet and play out the first 2 chapters anyway. Then things got much, much better.

Apparently, chapters one and two (each with 3 to 5 sub-levels) are designed to ease you into the controls and mechanics of the gameplay- they are designed poorly, the computer AI is atrocious (they just stand in one spot firing a steady stream of bullets until you shoot them down), and overall they are just a chore to play through.

From chapter three on, however, things change. The levels are bigger, the difficulty gets a boost, and the computer AI gets unbelievably smart- the soldiers and animals react in a realistic way, and you'll never see the same pattern of combat more than once. They hide behind rocks, kill dinosaurs to use as cover, and will occasionally gang up on you when your life meter gets too low. It's very similar to the AI in Halo. Amazing. Also, there are plenty of weapons to choose from- my personal favorite is the sniper rifle.

My point- give this game a try, and don't judge it based solely on the first few levels. Trust me- it will get exponentially better as you play, and the fun factor goes through the roof.
