A Load of Hot Garbage

I loved the commercials for this game and the hype was really high, but when you pop this stinker into your X-Box you will understand why it is important to actually PLAY a game at least once before you put down the dollars on it.

Turok Evolution is, in a word, horrible. I am sure that my own high expectations made it seem even worse, but the bottom line here is to save your money on a GOOD FPS. For most X-Box owners, Halo has us spoiled.

The breakdown is:
Graphics - 1 star. For a 2nd generation game on a next generation system the graphics are sub-par. They could have put this one on PSOne.

Sound - 3 stars. The sound is at least decent. Nothing to write home about.

Gameplay - 2 stars. Horrible. If you have ever played Halo, you will LOATHE the control and the way the game progresses. Enemies are dumb, saving is ridiculous(either finish the level or start at the beginning), and replay value is non-existant

Fun - 1 star After about 2hrs you will begin to ask yourself. What's the point. With its redundant gameplay and lackluster visuals, you may not even want to play the next day.

My advice: rent it, appraise it, and give thanks that you saved your money.

SHOULD BE PULLED FROM THE SHELVES!!!

Oh my terrible. This game is such disgrace to modern consoles and the Turok franchise. The graphics are almost worse than the N64 version...the gameplay is frustrating and uninspired...the weapons are lame (mostly). You don't have to take my word for it, but RENT IT FIRST. In fact, I am even angry I wasted my money renting it.

Turok Evolution - Fantastic Graphics.

Graphics - Awesome. Amazing vegetation. I shot a tree branched and heard and watched it fall. Touch plants and they will sway.

Sound - Will make you jump out of your skin sometimes. Good music. Nice surround effects to make you feel like you are "in the game".

Gameplay - Very good. My only complaint is I wish there were more save points on some levels. Like the Summit Battle.

This game is a must buy.

Don't waste your time

I too was a fan of the first two Turoks and was looking forward to Evolution for quite some time. However, it is one the most obviously rushed games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. The control is terrible - there are a total of 2 different configurations, which is unforgivable on a system like the Xbox (or any for that matter). The aiming system is completely flawed; if you try to aim higher than head level, your gun will suddenly jump to the sky OVER AND OVER. Once again Acclaim proves they're in it for the money. I know this may sound like a repeat of the previous review, but I was shocked when I saw the scores for this game. No skilled gamer would play this game and rate it 5 stars. Yikes.

Top Notch FPS

If you liked the original Turok, you'll love Turok Evolution. This is the game that the Turok team wanted to make on the N64 but couldn't due to hardware limitations. The graphics and sound show the power that the current generation of consoles has over the 32-bit consoles. The lack of fog and the flying levels are two examples of this. The only dinosaur first-person shooter out there, and it's a great game.

DO NOT BUY!

I bought this game the day that it came out. I had played the previous Turok games, and thought that this baby would rock my world. WRONG! Each mission takes like an hour to beat, with tons of enemies with shotguns, etc. while your armed with a pistol and some arrows. The A.I. just keeps coming, and when you think you've killed them all, more are on the way. There is very little dinosaur hunting! You are always fighting stupid lizard/cyborg things. The cut scenes stink, with absolutely NO plot. I can't beleive that I bought this...It should go down in history as THE WORST TUROK GAME EVER!!!

The Enemy AI in Turok is great. The weapons make me want to shoot and shoot and shoot. Cool level bosses and great scenery make the game feel almost like a movie. You'll be waiting to see what's around every corner.
Having played a production demo recently, made available through a canadian developer, I can honestly say that I am looking for the Release Version of this game to be one of the all around best video games of the year. Vivid landscapes, killer weapons, great graphics, and most of all, lots of fun.

Not a very good game

When i first rented this game, i thought i was going to get some raw, heart-pounding action. Instead i got some guys shooting a bow and arrow. I didn't play very far into the game but i don't think this will keep your interest very long. Another thing, it should be rated E not Mature.

Below Zero

For all you Turok fans out there... this review is not for you. I say this because, being new to the Turok world myself, surely a great amount of 'depth' simply got by me. For those of you out there just looking for a good game... look farther than this.

First, if you are a Turok of yore fan, you may understand the story, and accept it. If not, the story will seem pretty stupid,... well, let's not quibble, the story is stupid. You are an Indian battling a Custer-style badguy when, all of a sudden, you fall off a cliff and appear in... a world filled with dinosaurs and laser/machine-gun toting superlizards!(huh!). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to... uhmm... give me a sec... oh, I forget... just kill stuff.

Story aside, the controls are bleak. Another review mentioning Halo is annoying, I know, but it's appropriate here. The controls are the same, but the precision is gone. Only with the tomahawk can you be sure to hit your opposition every time, and really, that's an exaggeration.

For all you gamers out there that really love being bad at a game due to no fault of your own - this is the game for you. You'll soon discover that the only way through the carefully scripted missions (outside the first few) is through careful memorization of the script. And once you get over the 'invigorating' change between first person shooter and action pterodactl pilot - yes, you pilot a pterodactyl with mounted wing missels?? - you may ask yourself why you do these things to yourself.

My suggestion to those who really want to play this game: share a copy with a friend, and see how many runs through each level it takes to get past. Make it a game. Buddy gets by level four in ten tries... you get by in nine. Better luck next time.

So why such a negative review for a two star game? Well, the graphics are good. The multiplayer stinks, but it has multiplayer... no X-Box Live though. The violence is somewhat satisfying for the average video game sadist. And, up to now, there just aren't enough really good X-Box games to compete with it. In a year, the stars will drop to zero.
