LOL I thought I was playin a game straight from Alien vs Predator 2 days, Now THAT game was classic, THIS ISNT.
At the start of the game Unreal Engine comes up, so Im thinking GREAT!!! the last unreal game i played was Unreal Tournament 3 amazing looking game (I absolutely LOATHE unreal tournament's glooby snot weapons and the stupid double jumping thing though. but i was pretty impressed with Unreal Tournaments prettiness)
I was extremely surprised to find that TUROK 2008 is stuck in what almost looks like the 2004 unreal engine NOT the recent one, I couldnt belive it. I felt like I was playing Alien Vs Predator 2 without any care in quality or originality. The textures were old, and the gameplay was old too. And the story was really zzzzzzzzz material.
If it wasnt for the Dinosaurs there really would be NOTHING to this game at all. Its like following the yellow brick road to the end. 1 path for about 6-8 hours and finish what a waste of money. Its the type of game that if you play the demo the full game doesnt offer much more just like Clive barkers Jericho.
However if you want to just switch your brain off or a few mindless hours of shooting dinosaurs then play Turok but its not going to be a massively memorable occasion. It will be fun until the Dino animations wear thin. And once they do youll be back playing good game's again in no time lol. GO PLAY BIOSHOCK or Doom or Oblivian if you want a REAL masterpiece.
Overall this dissappointed me because i was expecting something greater than it was (sigh) not graphically but an interesting story a battle of the forest vs dinosaurs in a open ended kind of dino killing fest. I was definately expecting more atmosphere theres WAS NO atmosphere in this game, a few scare tactics thats about it. This game will collect dust unfortunately.
