Turok

Now I've come across a lot of people who keep saying that the game looks like a PS2 game, so either they're f**ing blind or I'm playing some other game – because Turok looks as good (or bad) as any Unreal 3 engine-based FPS out there. Sure, there are texture issues that are synonymous with this engine and the game’s frame rates take a hit from time to time, but trust me, it isn’t as bad as people make it sound. While in-game characters including Turok look like they’ve steeped out from Gears of War itself, dinosaurs have been given that extra touch and look as authentic and menacing as ever.

Like I mentioned in my intro, Turok’s a nice game but it’s not meaty enough (look ma, a pun) to sustain your interest for long. It’s certainly got its "whoa! awesome" moments but it does suffer from certain annoying gameplay mechanics, repetitive gameplay, and a highly erratic checkpoint system, making it tough to recommend as a purchase. Rent it or wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
