Super Mario 64 kept me going for at least a week, but this couldn't keep my interest after an hour of playing. Perhaps it's better if you stick with it for longer, but I think a game should be fun in the beginning too.

Could've been better

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was the first corridor shooter that I played for the Nintendo 64 and I thought it was a good game but it could've been a lot better. The graphics, control, sound, and gameplay were great. I was impressed by everything in the game except for the fact that it was impossibly hard. Turok also could've had a multiplayer option to make it much better.

Overall, Turok was good for Nintendo's first corridor shooter for the Nintendo 64. I wouldn't recommend buying this game, but it is alright to rent. If you want a great corridor shooter, get Goldeneye 007. It has everything that this game doesn't.

cool blood and guts

do have no life?do you enjoy wandering aimlessly through hundreds of tiny dark rooms looking for switches only all the rooms look exactly alike?got a lot of time on your hands?then this is the game for you.the weopons rule!of course unless you cheat theyre never there when you need them.the fighting and shooting up dinosaurs is cool but all the wandering and guessing sucks.i had the most fun just cheating by putting in stuff to make all the weopons there and all of them infinitely loaded.even with total immunity to death youll still just search and search and still wont beat it.unless youre infinitely patient.

a good game but extremely hard 3 and 1/2 stars

i enjoy playing turok in the earlier 2000s day that is when i most played da game but their i realize it was extremely hard to the point i needed cheat codes to finish the entire game but i have to admit that the graphics of the game are real looking even today the graphics of turok can still be considered great i love that they have a transfer device it is a blue looking circle painting that is as big as turok so he can successfully in da transfer device is noisy but is useful it takes u from no place to another especially if he are about to fail i really dig da beats of da game it is full with creative drum sounds from da game that is another reason why i kept on failing i was so busy getting my music on i forgot i was even playing da game as u play da hard levels of turok u will see as da music of each level develops more and more for a better and catchy tune while da game is very fun at times it can also be challegne as u have to accurate shoot at da dinosaurs and at ur opponents if u miss it seems like they come at u much faster with our a little time 4 u 2 react but if u shoot accuaretly at them they will slow down and eventually die but it is fun 2 c turok fail time to time as it is fun 2 c mario fail a lot in super mario 64 it is no difficult in this game u make 1 false move and u r through u watch as turok scream like a girl when he falls from da upper world 2 below da clouds 2 da undergrounds and u course no that he loses a life each time he fails do u i regret givin away 2 game at da game store just because it was so hard i had the cheat codes so i eventually got to c da last level of da game i should have kept this game as this was a classic i feel like a girl who knew away her baby then decides to take it back turok is no superman or mario but he is different he is a jungle superhero who is there to protect the world and kill all the dinosaurs and enemy 2 get to his goal of saving the world much like mario and even blast corps that games i still do have in the game there is a training mode where u can train turok 2 improve whatever skill he seems to be lacking on whether it is climbing, shooting, jumbing, or target pratice using da arrows it is all there in da training mode 2 improve turok fighting ability 4 da harder levels of da game otherwise da hard level this is one of da better action games i have ever played and it tooks u on adventure when u advance urself 2 a different of da game so enjoy Joe Brown

Yeah it is boring nowadays,i loved it about 4/5 years ago but thast was the time my only console was a Nintendo 64 and i still had better games-Its repetitive just walking into a village,cave or watever and Blowing up,shooting,stabbing and bowing the h£LL out of the human hunters,Dinosaurs,Those little beast monstas or anything,oh it just bores me now.The music gives me a headache,and i get these grenades and i don`t know how to throw them.I set up my N64 again yestaday alongside my PS2 and GameCube as i am boared as i have lended out Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater-my favorite game at the moment.And i have to get 007 GoldenEye back as well which is my Third fave game ever(After Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons Of Liberty).I do not recommend this get 007 GE instead,or if you are a fan of fantasy-magic(MGS is not fantasy magic,it has supernatural things but they are called fantasy in realism,like Jame Bond or the Matrix) go for games like Turok,Resident Evil,Eternal Darkness,DOOM,Quake etc.
If i had to list out my fave. last gen games(PlayStation,Nintendo 64&DreamCast) in any order wud be:

Metal Gear Solid(PS,1998)
007 GoldenEye(N64,1997)
Mission:Impssible(PS1,N64,uhh?)
Rainbow Six(PC,PS1,N64 in 1999)
Super Mario 64(N64,1996)

And i played hundreds of games last gen. they are my top favorite 5.So go for MGS,007 GE,R6 or Missiion:Impssible if you are intersted in a last gen realistic action game.
But a recommend T:DH if you like fantasy.

Almost a flawless corridor shooter

Before the Nintendo 64 ever came out, "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter" was one of the games that I couldn't wait to play after seeing the previews of it in various magazines. When I finally got to play it, I was impressed with everything in the game, except for one problem. The game is one of the hardest corridor shooters I've ever played, and still is to this date. The graphics with the mystical backgrounds and cool-looking dinosaurs, couldn't have been much better. The control is just like it needs to be and the sound and music also go great with the game. The only bad thing about "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter" is that most of the levels are almost impossible to pass, and there could've been a multiplayer game to give the game some better replay value.

While you play Turok, you can use several weapons, and you'll have to make your way across some levels by doing such feats as going swimming and climbing tall vines to get to where you need to be. "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter" is a great corridor shooter in just about every way and I recommend everybody to give it a shot. Just be prepared for a great challenge.

Fun, but.........

When I first got my N64, I got this game, along with Star Fox (Which is an amazing game I might add) and Mario Cart. At first, I hated it. The levels were insane to me. Now, I have got to be a better gamer, and I like this game. I still think it's hard, and if you're a novice gamer, I can't recommend this game. If you're looking for a nice challenge, try out this game. By the way, the graphics, especially the death scenes, are amazing.

I think Turok dinosaur hunter is hard, and fun. I've been looking at walkthroughs so i can beat level 2 and 3.The blood, violence, and killing in the game are the best part, because its so cool and relistic. The graphics of the game are cool to.
The weapons kick some butt too! If your looking for some bloody action, get this game! I just wish this game had multiplayer like the other turoks, if you want all multiplayer, get Turok Rage Wars.

Dinos for dinner

This was the first game I picked up for the N64 when I initially got one.
I must say, disregard any and all crap people say about this game, or the Turok series, for that matter.
This is absolutely the best first-person shooter series on the N64.
The jungle environments are lush and colorful....the graphics in Turok are undeniably the best (next to Turok 2, my all-time favorite N64 game) People b*tch and moan about the fog, but I see no problems at all with it. It's a JUNGLE. It's SUPPOSED to be muggy....hence, the fog. Sure, in reality, the dense fog is used to cover up jaggies and lack of system power, but I feel its a nice touch.
The levels are huge and well-designed....it's fun exploring every possible nook and cranny in each of the levels.
The control of the game is EXCELLENT. It took a while to get used to the odd control, but now, if I had a preference, I would love to use the N64 controller to navigate any and ALL first-person shooters....I love the control scheme.
There are multitudes of enemies in the game. Sure, you won't have to fight more than 2 or 3 enemies at a time at intervals, but that's not a problem whatsoever.
The weapons in the game are what really sell. Before I got this game for myself, I had played it over at a friend house, and when he busted out a damn MINI-GUN to mow down a raptor, I was like "HOLY CRAP!" Not only are the weapons awesome, but the animations of the weapons firing are the best I've seen in any FPS, and the first of it's kind, back then. Shells pop out of the shotgun and go flying. Bullet casings spit out of the mini-gun at a rapid rate. The kickback of some of the weapons is so real, you almost feel like you're actually firing the guns. Hell, if you run out of ammo, you still have your bow and arrow, or Tek Bow (with exploding arrows)

There is hardly anything wrong with this game....and nothing I can think of right now!

Overall, 9.5 out of 10.
