SUMMARY
In Turok for Xbox 360 is a fast paced FPS with DINOSAURS!!! This game features cool weapons, scary boss monsters, realistic AI, and stunning graphics. The object of the game is to shoot dinosaurs and enemies, and survive your journey through a dangerous world.
GAMEPLAY 1
You play as a rogue native American soldier named Turok who has fight his way through and off of a foreign planet. You crash land with a group of soldiers that fight by your side. This is a cool feature because it is always nice to have a companion playing by your side, weather its AI or another player. Turok and the group of people he are with are all badasses so it makes you feel like a badass. They did a good job of getting hooked and into the story.
The weapons on Turok are sick. Its nice to have a bow and arrows in a FPS, not to mention a blade, hence the native americaness. On top of that you have all of your classic smgs, pistols, shotguns, laser guns, orb gun, grenades, and flamethrower. Whats cool about this game is the duel wielding ability, its so nice to have 2 shotguns when a pack a raptors are nipping at your legs. The knife effect is sweet, you have to time it just write and you go to a third person perspective to do some cool stabs, kicks, punches, tackles, w/e and effectively the stab a dino dead. Its cool.
The Bosses in this game are absolutely incredible. Being able to blast at a T-Rex, GIANT SQUID/DINOSAUR/LOCKNESS MONSTER THING, a spider tank, and I havn’t even beaten the game yet. The monsters are huge in comparison to you. The first time everyone sees the T-Rex you always get the same 2 words, “Holy Shit.” I was scared the first time I encountered the giant beast in the game.
GAMEPLAY 2
The environment and levels you fight in are overwhelming awesome. Deep in the jungle you question whether it’s a real tree on your television or one generated by a video game. It is so detailed, the views from mountain peak very are crazy intricate. Unlike most games where the fire and water look solid, in Turok all the elements are in full effect. The wind, fire, water, rocks, everything in the levels look real, they did a really good job.
This game was very fun to play, the single player mode offered 3 different difficulties, normal, hard, and inhuman. Having these 3 different difficulties made this game a lot of fun because normal was easy, hard was hard, but inhumane wasn’t impossible, it felt like almost realistic. Unlike most hardest setting in games the enemie is every hard to kill while your very easy to kill. The difficulties in Turok seem to only determine how strong you are, not how weak or strong your enemies are, so inhumane is a lot of fun. U go down just as quick as your enemeies, gotta be sneaky.
The multiplayer was also very fun to play. It had a some gametypes that were a lot of fun. My personal favorite was the deathmatch, each player had a certain amount of lives, last man alive or first to 15 wins. Lots of fun.
DESIGN
Turok did a great job when designing the core elements to this game. The gameplay was fun, the graphics were amazing, the AI was amazing, the guns were sick, there were dinosaurs, it featured a great storyline, lots of blood, more dinosaurs, gaint bosses, special abilities, long levels, fast paced play. Turok had it all, except for a few things.
I was severly disappointed with the lack of multiplayer on one xbox. It had online multiplayer, but unlike a bunch of other online games, you cant have 2 people on the same xbox at the same time. You can play online together unless u have separate copies of the game. You cant even play co-op, which is the greatest disappointment based on that this game has one of the coolest single player modes I’ve ever seen.
The game developers overall did a good job of covering everything except for the multiplayer issue.
