Best of the Turk Games
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is considered not only the best Turok game, but also one of the best first person shooters of all time, right up there with Goldeneye 007 and Doom.
Some people say that the first game, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was the best... however, the only thing they talk about is the game play, which is always important with any video game, but that's it. You see Turok 2 had several things that the first game simply didn't have at all...
- Storyline
- Plot
- You're told what to do and where to go
- What type of enemies you're up against
- We learn some history of the Lost Land
- Two different ends
- Multiplayer
None of this is in the first game, the second one improved everything. It has just about everything that video games have today, everything to make it memorable, Turok 1 simply wouldn't cut it these days. The trailer for the 2nd game is pretty badass.

Plot hole
One problem with the storyline in Seeds of Evil and Shadow of Oblivion is that Joshua and his two siblings have no prior combat training of any kind, nothing is shown or stated in the games, they just become super warriors instantly. The only things that helps them are the high tech weapons, clothing and items that gives them special abilities.
It was more believable with Tal'Set who came from a warrior tribe during the 1800s, he does get the same type of high tech weapons and special items, but his warrior background that we learn from Turok Evolution, a prequel to the first game, made him more believable.
