Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've never gotten deeply into the First Person Shooter genre. Why did I buy this game, then? I looked at the Turok website and liked what I saw, so I took a gamble. For my money, that gamble paid off.
Turok: Evolution places you in a fantasy world--make note of that, especially those who whine about hurting poor defenseless dinosaurs. When you see four tons of Anklosaurus equipped with rocket launchers (we're remembering we're in a FANTASY WORLD, aren't we?) bearing down on you, your qualms about firing a few rounds into a dinosaur fade rather rapidly. As for the other dinos--if they don't attack me, I don't attack them. (You don't have to either.)
The game gives you two levels to get a feel for the FPS controls and the flying controls (slightly different, but easy enough to become familiar with), then you're into the thick of the action. As I've mentioned, I don't have much FPS experience, and Chapter 3, part 2, took over ten hours to beat. Sometimes I made stupid mistakes, sometimes the dinosoids (humanoid dinos w/armor and weapons) did me in. Through persistence and by learning from my mistakes, I made it. What's so great about Turok: Evolution--it's a challenging game, and it's fun to boot.
There are things to consider if you're a hardcore gamer--Acclaim did not provide a multiplayer mode that allows one person to fight the computer ("bots"); On some levels, some of your weapons are restricted, which adds to the challenges; If you replay a level you've completed, the AutoSave function is turned off (essentially making it impossible to replay a level to find something you might have missed (and need to use later) unless you restart from the beginning of the game). If you can get over those issues, you may enjoy this game a lot. I did.
Parents take note: There is a setting to turn off the violence (which is copious), but if your child is playing, he controls the controller and could easily turn the violence right back on.
If you're buying this for a child under 17, watch as they play to see if it's right for your child. I won't be letting any of my nephews (12 and younger) watch or play it.
Turok: Evolution is great fun, challenging, and very bloody. It's rated M for Mature.
