Turok the gritty review

It may have some rough language...you have been warned!!!

My review on Turok

Crazyglues6595d ago

Let me just say I too played Turok back in the day on N64 I believe it was, and I liked it, didn't love it.

But to me this was a game that was so easy to get right, that it is amazing that the developers messed this thing up. To me this game is Gears Of War On Crack, that's all they had to do.

That huge boss you fight in Gears on the PC version with the huge guns on his arms, that's all Turok had to be. Big dinosaurs the size of that monster in Gears that you fight. Period. Add Cool guns (huge Plasma Cannon) and Great story. Done.

What is Hard here? I remember when Acclaim was making the game. I wrote a very detail report of exactly how the game should be. Did they follow it, of Course not. Why they even asked, I have no idea.

Then Acclaim went Bankrupt and this company bought the rights to Turok. And made what looks to be a god awful piss in your pants version of what Turok should be. I didn't even download the demo because the game play just looks like something I wouldn't play for more then 2 seconds.

It just kills me that all they had to do was pick up the Unreal Game engine, follow the Gears Of War format, and add dinosaurs instead of aliens and you have a huge hit on your hands. What is hard here?

We just want to play something that's fun to play and looks Amazing. And Turok is neither.

Is it really this hard for gaming companies to understand Gaming.

thanks for the reply....I plan on doing more reviews of games in the future...

I too agree with your assessment of the older Turok games. The only problem they had in my opinion was the lack of story. This game tried, but in the end it ultimately failed at least there was nothing to bring you back to the series or wanting more.

Yes I totally agree why not have aliens/humans/dinos all together...that way you can have the cool "nuke" gun which is second only to the cerebral bore.....

I did manage to play one game online....wow it sucked...horrible..I don't even know how to describe it....

I beat the game in about 12 hours and it isn't THAT bad of a rental....read my Beowulf review for that POS.
