Expecting a solid fun and different shooter, i picked up turok the first day it came out, and it was great fun... for half an hour. The game itself plays fairly well when the play involves dinosaurs, especially with the choice of running around with a knife, hitting the right trigger to slice enemy's, but when facing human characters the gameplay hits a snag. Fighting humans compared to dinosaurs not only slows the game play, but drains the fun out of turok as well. The fights are usually frustrating, repetitive, and overall pointless. Many of the fights are usually hard as well. Some levels involve small areas meant to be used as a last stand against countless numbers of enemy's, while your computer team mates runs around shooting in the wrong direction. The action mainly revolves around your character running around hunting dinosaurs while trying to battle human characters as well, and combined the game doesn't quite pull it off. If your looking for a part time fun looking game then Turok should be to your needs for a while, while more serious gamers might want to stay away from Turok due to the repetitiveness of the gameplay, and the overall frustration of the battles. In the end Turok's just developed into another game, one that wont be mentioned at the end of the year, and probably one that should be avoided.
