Good: Good story, Great voice acting, Cool Weapons, You get to fight Dinosaurs
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.
