You kill a T-Rex with a knife! What more could you want?

After playing the demo of Turok, I had decided that this game was definately worth buying and it was a damn good purchase. Some parts of the game can be slightly challenging or frustrating as the checkpoints are scarce. I was ticked off when the I kept dieing at one point and Turok's buddies just sit there and say things along the lines of: "Turok grab the RPG." and "Turok destroy that *spoiler*." all whilst they sit back and expect you to do all the work, which reluctantly I did. Some bits will have you shouting: "Sneaky f****r!" and "Where the f**k did that w****r come from?!".

On the plus side, you kill dinos with a knife. It doesn't sound THAT exciting, but killing raptors and the like with your trusty combat knife is down-right awesome and it is such an achievement to take down a T-Rex with it. The only problem with the knife is that sometimes you miss the dinosaurs with it. You have to pull RT at the right time but due to them being so swift you end up swinging like Norman Bates! And if you're getting shot by a guy who's seen you and you want to kill him with a knife: you're buggered because when you get shot, it slows you down so you basically get stuck on the spot whilst swinging your knife 20 feet away from his face!

Multiplayer is very fun if you can find the right people to play with. The knife fights I had with these bunch of guys was hilarious!

Overall, Turok is a solid game which deserves a good score of 8. Try the demo first as some people see it as mediocre shooter and nothing more than that but I really enjoyed the game.


If Jurassic Park taught you stay still when you come across a T-Rex - forget it. You'll get eaten, believe me. Although it is funny. Sorry, Turok.
