From MEGATONik.com author Kevin Cortez:
"I was a huge fan of the Turok series for the N64 when I was younger. Dinosaurs and guns always made a great mix in video games. When I first heard that Propaganda Games was doing a Turok game for the Xbox 360 (PS3 and PC, also), I became very excited…until I remembered the failure that was Turok: Evolution. I started tracking the game and getting hyped up for it thanks to multiple screenshots and videos. As the release for the game came closer and closer, I became very mixed with my views on the game. Would it suck, or would it be just as awesome as the N64 games were?

Conclusion from the review:
"Turok isn't a complete disappointment, but it isn't exactly what I pictured. If you're expecting another epic shooter along the lines of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare or Halo 3, ignore this game. This title is a little above mediocre, but it has many flaws that keep it from being a totally above average game. Bearing almost no story at all and very dumb A.I., fans of the Turok series may find this game a little bit of an upper from the failure that was Evolution, but overall Turok is a forgettable title that gamers can enjoy for about three hours before getting fully annoyed."
The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
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.
I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.
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.
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.
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.

Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
It's too bad cause I really enjoyed the N64 titles and I was hoping that they would revive the series. Guess not!
nor am I trying to make this review seem credible, but who really expected this to return the series to it's former glory.
Sorry, but let's be real for a second here: that sort of thing doesn't happen.
99% of the time, a new time won't be able to capture what the original team did. They don't have the same goals, same ideas, and they don't know what the series was all about.
There are exceptions to every rule, but when you hand one persons baby over to another, don't expect it to be raised the way you would raise it.
everybody is hating on this game hard...im telling everybody RENT IT, you'll be surprised how good the campaign is, best FPS campaign i've played this gen IMO...Online is rubbish, and coop is garbage too..
