Overall, a decent shooter, but look forward to all the very annoying flaws in Turok.

Turok is a different, sci-fi shooter. You're a total butt-kicking badass named turok, woh's pretty much hated by all your teammates (they think Turok used to work for a crinimal). What happens is you pretty much get stuck on this planet infested by dinosaurs (naturally), and a bunch of enemy soldiers. God knows what these other guys are looking for, all you need to know is your character is in a bad situation. These dinosaurs want meat, and there's too many of them to count. Luckily, Turok can slice them up in a swing with his trusty knife. You'll soon come to find out the knife will be your mainly used weapon, as it's very effective, and it's much more convenient than using your sidearms. The combat system is really fun, and there's a variety of kill moves Turok performs, all of them hitting the high gore factor, which I'm sure you all like =). He can go from sticking his knife into a dinosaur's skull then ripping it in half, to putting an enemy trooper in a headlock and sticking a knife thru the helpless soldier's chest.
Interms of storyline, there isn't much of one. It's pretty much just wipe out some enemies in a zone, done. Next zone. Bam, bam, slice, slice, done.

Another great thing about Turok is the design of the dinosaurs. It's amazing, the developers really nailed their detail. Not only are the graphics for these guys amazing, the developers also mastered the dinosaurs' movement.

Now, for the annoyances in Turok. You'll come across a lot of things that can piss you off in Turok. For one, the dino slaughtering DOES get boring. It's the same thing over and over. In the beginning of the game, you'll see a lot of new kill moves, but later on they'll keep repeating themselves, and eventually get old. The most annoying thing is the save system. You can only save at Checkpoints. So, if you have to leave and you're in the middle of a mission, don't rely on the save system of Turok, you'll be disappointed. There's also a lot of other tweaks that will get on your nerves during your time in Turok

Overall, Turok is a decent shooter with lots of action, so if you love the FPS genre, you should try this game out.
