IGN reviews Turok - If you don't move, this game can't see you

Closing comments from the review by IGN's Greg Miller:

"There's no doubt that Turok can be fun, but ultimately, the feeling of satisfaction that comes with slitting a raptor's throat or pulling off a headshot with your bow is lost in the shuffle of swarming enemies, less than stellar visuals and a story that disappears. Do I recommend Turok for folks just looking for a game to run through with two shotguns in hand? Yes, but I wouldn't expect to walk away from playing with your mind blown."

this score doesnt surprise me. The demo was lackluster. Nothing to see here.

antoinetm5932d ago

yup, they can give the ps3 version 2/10 and the 360 version 7/10 but for all i care, that game turned out to be a major disappointment, turok 1 was awsome tho.

Enough with the marines on steroids, its getting old, we need more ninjas, samurai and pirates!

pretty much what I figured it would get after playing the demo.

the crave in the caves suck but once out in the forest it looks a lot better (demo)

Rice5932d ago

I played this game both on xbox 360 and ps3, and i agree, they both look like crap, and play like crap.

INehalemEXI5932d ago

yup, crap is what this is a 7 might mislead someone to think its good.

Rice5932d ago

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.

closed_account345d ago

I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.

BriBri345d ago

I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.

Vits345d ago

Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.

And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.

potatoseal345d ago

I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.

GoodGuy09345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad597d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g597d ago (Edited 597d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
