Turok - Playable Demo, What did you think?

I enjoyed it quite a bit and also found the difficulty to be pretty tough at times. The guns are fun and being able to wield two, although nothing new; still was just as fun, mashing L2 and R2 like a mad man.

Starting off in the Cave may not have been the best idea though. Even though the demo was pretty lengthy, the first part kinda' annoyed me. It was just to hard to see at times and really not a clever way to start a demo. Also, once you get outside, it becomes very open and vast, this is great but often leads to confusion of where bullets are coming from. Not only must you worry of bullets but sometimes taking cover can lead to your death too, since Dinos would jump out and scare the hell out of you and knocking you back into open fire. It was a great twist but sometimes very annoying. I like the challenge though!

Voice acting from everyone but Turok was good. I thought Turoks voice was pretty lame and he just had no energy. The other characters sounded and look amazing.

I enjoyed picking up little dinos and cutting there throats and laughing. One thing I noticed in this game that a lot of others shooters don't have is that, when getting shot you sort of can't move very well, almost as if it stuns you a bit. When trying to go up and grapple them with my knife attack, they would pound me with bullets and I would be completely stunned. Which led to my death quite a few times, but nevertheless; it was still fun.

The graphics were pretty nice once you reached the outside. In the cave you can see hardly anything, so I couldn't judge. I was glad to see the Demo didn't end once reaching the outside, I would have been angry beyond belief.

It's so nice to see a old franchise making possibly a strong return. I'm pretty excited about this one and I would love to see what Gamespot and many other reviews have to say about it.

Sorry if someone already posted about it, but I was curious to know if anyone would like to share there thoughts on it as well.

OK what the hell? I couldn't even find my way out of the cave!!

And there was some guy standing in the cave that didn't move, wouldn't talk to me, and when I shot him nothing happened!?!?

Am I trippin' out?

Yes

I was glad it didnt feel like kane and lynch i think it felt pretty good and killing dinos is pretty kool even tho....i would like bigger guns to kill em =D true tho the graphics kick in outside - inside the cave u can barely see and there's nothing fantasic in there lolTwinturbo120

Turok games have always been known for big guns... so later in the campaign you will probably get some sweet guns.

There was that Plasma Machine gun right near the dino nest... it was a pretty big weapon.

I really liked that demo, and I will definitly buy the game now.

It was terrible. Admittedly, I didn't give it a chance outside, because I quit in the caves. I couldn't tell how many dinosaurs were after me or where they were. It just wasn't fun at all. In my opinion, it belongs in an arcade.rptransam09

I got out of the cave and wasn't impressed at all. The dialogue once you meet up with the other characters is even worse than Gears. I'm definitely passing this one up.

Yeah, I didn't really like it that much. Felt to much like all the other shooters out there, except with dinos.

I'm still playing through the demo now, and really, I don't like it. The dinosaur models looked the same but the characters looked pretty good. I just think the fact of going level to level shoot/knifing dinosaurs is going to get repetitive but we'll see how the whole game goes. And I do agree on gusto's comment. Turok 64 seems way better then this.

I agree with you... I guess I will never be as impressed as I was when I first played Turok 64: Dinosaur Hunter.... "I AM TUROK" (I actually got kind of annoyed with that because in the later levels I used to die a lot and hear that everytime I respawned)

For some reason, I agree with what you said. It just was not a good idea at all to start in such a dark cave.

Poorly done demo, hated the cave. It was not a good launch at all...gamfaqs2gamfaqs

I agree with you too. I can't stress enough that the cave was just a awful idea. By the time you get out your like, "Okay, the dmeo begins!"

Loved your comment haha :) The first Turok was great!

I thought the demo was friggin' sweet and I'm going to get this game FO' sure. I hope there's voice chat on this puppy.ENIXMAN

Once completeling the demo is does tell you a bit about what to expect from the online mode. I agree, it does sound interesting, I think it would be cool to let you choose a dino and try to tear some people up, even if you were over-powered by the large guns!

Voice-chat is a must! For any online-shooter IMO.

It also said something about being able to team up with others in a zone full of dinos? Pretty cool idea! I like games to have a variety! Online shooting games like Halo and Call of Duty get old for me! How many times can you die and restart before it's no longer fun!? Why not give us other options like what may be happening with Turok. Being able to team up with others and kill dinos sounds cool! Even if it is a distraction from the online VS.

Don't know if this has been adressed already but what happend to the blood after you cut someone open? It doesn't splatter on the ground, it just vanishes mid air. Krigon

On the dinos it just stays(as in a stain) on them and on the soldiers I guess since their wearing so much amor the blood kinda just stays inside.

It would have been a big disappointment, but I had the foresight to not get my hopes up.Generic_Dude

Likewise, I didn't expect much, and I'm glad I didn't. Nothing with the Turok name will come close to the original Turok 64 classic. Knifing dinos was fun, but not as much as humans. The story seems lacking, but can't say for sure in a demo.

The demo piqued my curiousity, so this one is a rental. Plus online might be fun, some games are just more fun online, (like UT3).
