A hard game that you just want to finish
Story: Now the story in the game doesn't exist. Unless that it, you have the manual. Basicly the main villain, The Campaigner, wants the ultimate weapon, The Chronscepter, so he can break the laws of time and space and rule everything that has, will, and is happening. Luckily Turok don't want that to happen. I just have to say though that this doesn't need a story, because that's not what it's about.
Gameplay: This game's gameplay is fairly basic. You go through the levels, turning lead cushions out of everything that moves. However, if you want to get a step ahead of the enemies you'll need more that what the game puts in plain sight. If you want to suceed you need to learn how to just jump into a pit and pray to whatever deity you worship. If you are fairly nosey you'll find things like the chaingun, fusion cannon, and 1 piece of the chronocepter. The ultamite weapon, arguably the only way to defeat the final boss, is split up into 8 parts, one in each level. Basicly what I think i'm trying to say is that the more you put into this game, the more you get out of it.
7/10 Good
Graphics: This is the games greatest weak point. The first time I played this game I was just cringing at the graphics. They drone on and on, and is just the same thing until you reach the final level. However, the explosions are just AWESOME. The final weapon, well, simply looking at its explosion hurts you. Another thing, the deaths. Normally in most shooters the enemies die, get banished, or whatever. However in this the struggle, flop like a dying tuna, clench their necks, all while blood flies out in ever direction. That alone probably saves it.
5/10 Mediocre
Sound: Wow. This is one of the games best points. The enemies let out perfect warcries, there deathrattles are awesome, and the guns sound like true guns. The backround might be the only bad point, where it's mainly drums but it plugs in nice things like prefect lion and bird calls. 9/10 Suberb
Value: This is an incredibly valuable game. It's fun, cool, and let's all face it, there's a dinosaur hunter in all of us.
10/10 Perfect
Tilt: This is game has found the striking point between, too easy and incredibly hard. It's hard enough to be a challenge, but easy enough to make you want to continue. The bosses are hard enough so that when you pass them, you jump up and do a little dance. Lovely.
8/10
Buy, Rent, Borrow, Burn?
Buy.
This game simply has too much to beat it in a renting period. You'll rush through it, miss out on things like the Chroncepter, Tek armour. Just shell out 10 bucks from that bargain bin. Trust me.
