Did not age well at all

This game feels empty even for it being a 1996 release on the N64 and a 1997 release on PC. The frustrating platforming, limited saves, and having to search all over the levels over and over again for keys kills the fun here. The keys are literally hidden to make you play for 12 hours even with a walkthrough before you get the keys for a level, and there is hardly any backstory to the game; heck, even its sequel did a far better job with that then this. Honestly, I'd rather play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, or Quake II if it were 1997, and I find out about this game's existence. Honestly, I'd recommend skipping this one and playing the second one if you really must play a Turok game, or play Doom, Duke 3D, or the Quake games if you want a nostalgic first person shooter without the sheer frustrations you have to deal with in the Turok games. My two cents.

OK 10 characters

Only got it because I played it a lot on n64 as a child and it was on sale. It doesn't have the excessive fog and terrible controls of the n64 version. I was quite surprised how fast you move, I didn't remember it being a fast game but looking at videos on youtube it seems even the n64 version was fairly fast movement wise. I am going to play this in short bursts, maybe a level at a time or even just to the next save point each session, it gets quite tedious. The previously mentioned save point system is annoying, wish they had added a quicksave. The enemies respawn, sometimes right in front of you, at least they make it obvious with a beam if light and they don't instantly materialise giving you time to react. There is a platforming which I despise in first person games especially ones where you can't see your feet but it is just about bearable for me here. You don't have any momentum or ice skaty feeling controls like say half life, if you let go of w you stop even in mid air, makes the platforming less annoying.

Holds up well but the price is too high

Just finished the game and I have to say, it surprisingly held up well. It really is an action adventure game: think of it as a great mix between fast PC-style shooting and console-inspired level design. Not only the gunplay is great but you really have to explore the levels in order to collect everything. Each of the maps are memorable and well-designed and it must have taken lot of work to pull this off on the N64. Regardless of the above, the asking price is too high, even for a high-quality remaster. Turok is awesome, no doubt, but try to grab it once it goes on a sale.

Turok: Human Hunter

When I was a kid I was disappointed that dinosaurs are not main enemies. Now I find fighting humans more fun. Still a good game after all those years.

Entertaining, but has many problems

I finished it on normal before reviewing. I don't recommend starting on hard because you'll easily get starved out of ammo if you don't know where you're going. Description: FPS game where you play as a native american in a SF setting, shooting at dinosaurs, aliens and robots. Aside from typical shooter elements this game also has a lot of platforming and item collection as you need to find keys to new levels, which are usually hidden behind some basic exploration. This game operates on a lives system like old platform and arcade games where you collect lives by finding enough of special objects (points?). If you die you can continue from last checkpoint or you can reload the game from last save point. Pros: + Large weapon arsenal You start with a knife and bow, grabbing a pistol in first few moments. There are also pump and auto shotguns, assault rifle, grenade and rocket launchers, minigun and a total of 5 different energy weapons, one of them being ultimate 'nuke' type weapon and one more being a secret 'even bigger nuke' weapon. Some weapons can use alternative ammo too. + Animations Enemies tend to die in a nice fashion. Especially some bigger bad guys will roll around spewing blood etc. + Most levels Fun to explore, interesting layouts, every level has it's own 'feel'. Cons: - Last level Long, boring, filled with annoyingly tough enemies, douchebag placement of instant-death pits, etc. Also confusing to navigate. - Instant death pits Falling into an endless pit takes away a life instantly, but most importantly - also takes away the best powerup in the game - ammo backpack - Ammo capacity Very low unless you find an ammo backpack, which as explained before - can be lost upon death. Lowdown I've played a lot of Turok 2 waaaay back when PC version released, but never experienced the original. I'm glad I played it, but I'm aslo a bit disappointed in the end. I recommend in mildly, but Turok 2 is a superior game in every way.
