In short it's almost as bad as Killzone. which still stands as the pinnacle of ****e gaming, and the only game i've ever bought and returned in the same day...
anywho, Turok like 2/3rds of the FPS market is chasing the Dirty Dozen-dragon. the basic "reinvention" is now your in the future, and you and your dilapidated team of Growth hormone enhanced SPECoperators are crash landed on a planet full of dinosaurs. Oh but that's not all. you see there's a BACK STORY. And it's at this point where the makers switch from ripping off the DD to then ripping off Gears of War (which as an aside, the character design alone constitutes some form of intellectual property theft from the makers of GOW ).
Turok you see was involved in some manner of ubiquitous operation which of course went sideway, everyone was betrayed, small children were killed and a batch of cupcakes was over cooked. as a result Turok is now a muscle bound Faux-hawk sporting master chief wannabe. but an emo one at that, Because really, what's the point of being part of a covert operational unit if you can't have a complimentary wheel barrow full of angst. to go with all that TAC armor?
so yeah, after 5 hours of game play i'm aborting this one and cashing it in. the gun play is at best pathetic. there is no real aiming system, your best hope is the spray and lead your targets. Damage reception is capricious, sometimes a stray round will just zip on through you and do nothing other times it wipes out your zip code. also admittedly i'm not finishing this game, but the variations within the available enemies i ran into was basically non exsistant, which is truly disappointing. If your going to go through the execution of making Dinosaurs your predominate foe then throw some cool ones in there.
but i think right there is the core issue with Turok, it's another limp genitaled attempt to **** out yet another mindless Arr Pee Gee. one that only shines because it's just that much worse than anything out there right now. Hell at least Time shift was fun.
