Not even dinos can salvage unexciting 'Turok' - MSNBC

The biggest problem with "Turok," though, is simply that there are better first-person shooter games on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It might not be totally fair to compare "Turok" to "Orange Box" or "Call of Duty 4," but both of those games simply offer better action. True, neither of those games offer dinosaurs, but then again, nobody's perfect. -- Levi Buchanan

Verdict: Skip It

I dont get it, i played Turok on the 360 all the way through and it kept me playing where most games lose my interest and i never end up finishing. I think its a great game, i am getting sick and tired of all the same old war fps games. Its getting old and i dont even look at those type of clone games anymore. Turok is a refreshing change and looks great on the 360, the PS3 version on the other hand suffers in the graphics department and doesnt look as good. If you like running around with a flamethrower torching oversized scorpions and incredible looking dinos then this is the game for you. If you wanna keep shooting the same old generic looking soldier with the same old generic looking rifle then stick with military games that seem to be over flooded on the market right now. I highly recommend Turok to anyone who enjoys a good time taking out a T-REX!

I had a great time with Turok as well.
I don't understand why it's getting trashed.
I've played games that I thought were trash that got great reviews by most of these idiots.

Who knows.

I can say this, if you reviewed the game by the demo you got it all wrong.
The devs didn't do themselves any favors by using that part of the game for the demo.

MadMax5901d ago (Edited 5901d ago )

Yea, I agree. The demo was a very small and non important part of the game that you have no idea what the rest of the game was about. I loved the original Turok and the 2nd one, they started to go down hill after that and then finally started to pick up the pace again with this one. People should really give a game like this a chance, i think they would understand where we are coming from after playing it through. I also found funny in this hilarious review how it says the bow is the most effective weapon in the arsenal, lol i maybe used the bow like a couple times cuz it seemed like the weakest weapon to me. Its so clear that the reviewer has absolutely no idea about games, sounds like it was reviewed by a teenager.

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_account360d 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.

BriBri360d ago

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

Vits360d 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.

potatoseal360d ago

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

FreeckyCake360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

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

GoodGuy09360d ago (Edited 360d 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.

MadLad612d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g612d ago (Edited 612d ago )

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

gurp12d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
