PC Gamer: Turok PC Review - Are you ready tu-rok? No, no you're not

PC Gamer writes: "One may argue that it's unfair to judge a game by its installation. In the case of Turok, the ill portent bore prophetic truth. It took an hour.

An hour with two disc-swaps, ensuring I couldn't walk away. An hour during which the game saw fit to play me the same 60 seconds of tedious, loud, dirge-like music, rendering my PC useless for any other purpose. All in order that it could fill 15Gb of my machine with the first-person adventures of Joseph Turok: black-ops toughguy battling mercenaries on a planet full of dinosaurs.

Turok isn't dreadful. Its fits in that far less entertaining position of mediocre. It makes some ghastly mistakes, but at the same time has giant dinosaurs you can kill with a bow and arrow. It's more linear than said arrow, but, well, those dinosaurs and the arrows again. Pretty much what it has going for it is shooting dinosaurs with arrows. That's firmly established at this point."
