Turok

Worth it, even at $20

Just played through it in 2 days. Turok was something I remembered from long ago, but the N64 wasn't up to the task and that hindered the game greatly. The remastered version is spot on. I'm not sure what the noise about the price is about. Get it on sale if you can, sure! But I don't think "it's from the 90s" is a valid reason for it to be much less than $20. A lot of work went into remastering it, folks, and that deserves the cost of a few Starbucks coffees. For those who never played it, think fast paced, keep moving gameplay with lots of secrets, a hub level that lets you go in and out of levels to get the goodies and keys you missed, and lots of enemies that mostly die easy with a bunch that die much harder deaths to spice it up. Decent platforming in spots, good controls, cool weapons. Tip: go into the options and enable PC music (vs N64 music), and turn off view bobbing completely (especially the other bobbing option, whatever it's called, that tilts the camera when you strafe). You do a lot of running and weaving, and the bobbing can be a bit annoying. Lastly, good options abound, and most things can be toggled, including the modern draw distance. It even includes a mod to restore the original levels (without some tweaks that were done to modernize the game). Look in the editormods folder in the game folder. Don't expect super-modern deep Prey style gameplay, but if an odd mix of dinosaurs, particle blood spray, Serious Sam speed, and hunting for those little spots and secret ledges that get you to the keys, buy the game.
