Turok is a good game. But its not the next great turok game.
Bad: Not enough Checkpoints, Firefights can last to long, Its funner to fight Dinosaurs than humans.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turok is a long time running franchise which got its start on the N64 and spawned tons of sequels. The last installment in the Turok franchise was "Turok Evolution" Which was a completely crappy game.
But the new Turok rises above that. The new Turok game is a good game. But something just doesnt feel right about the game.
The story take place in the future on a distant planet. Were you take the role as "Turok". A ex member of Wolf pack. You now are part of Whiskey company. Who has been given the mission to take down Kane, the leader of wolf pack. You are shot down on arrival of the planet. Where you discover that there is more than just Kanes men hunting you.
The gameplay in Turok is smooth and plays great. Which is good. But the down fall to its gameplay is the long firefights with the lack of checkpoints in between. Which can cause very frustrating gameplay.
The game has a good amount of weapons. But compared to other Turok games, this is where it will disappoint. You have you Assault rifles to shot guns. Theres really nothing new there.
The most interesting part of Turok lies with in its knife combat system. When you are running around with a knife you can run up to a enemy, man or dino and pull the right trigger, this will cause the camera to go into third person to shot Turok fight and kill the enemy with his knife. Which it is a instant kill weapon.
The game uses the unreal engine 3. Like Gears of War. So the game looks great. It has to be the best looking game using the unreal engine out side of Epics own games. The game has solid animations and amazing textures. Great looking weapons.
The sound in the game is amazing. The voice acting and story is really what carries this game.
The music almost seems like last minute add on in the game. It isn't very great and isn't at all memorable.
The online in the game is pretty fun. If you can get into a game with alot of people in it. The game also feature Coop for 3 maps... but again you have to find people to play with you.
The achievements in the game are not that great. With all of them focused in Multiplayer. And with no one really playing to much. It can be hard to get these achievements.
I would of liked to see more of a balance in single player and multiplayer achievements.
Over all this is a good start in bringing Turok back. Hopefully the next one is even better.
