Topic: Turok Review

The Turok name has been around for a lot longer than many might realise, but it is probably most memorable as two of the N64's great first-person shooter experiences.

Unfortunately Acclaim Games went into receivership leaving this once beloved franchise lost in limbo. Along came Touchstone Studios however, and an all-new reimagining of the series has surfaced as a result.

Does it live up to the Turok legacy though?

From our review:
"While this reimagining of the series has everything it needs to succeed, it unfortunately falls short in several ways, most notably due to its straight-up mundaneness and failure to branch beyond the staple FPS blueprint that really should have been thrown out years ago. The story sees the entire franchise transformed. You're no longer in a weird lost land hunting dinosaurs solo, now you're a turn-coat soldier aboard a ship on its way to a planet to put an end to tyranny..."

Can't say I really thought much more of the original Turok games. All very generic FPS titles imo. This one is nothing different again, but yeah shooting dinosaurs is still not without it's charm.
