Fun
Prepare to experience an evolution in the first person shooter. Originally
one of the most popular titles for the Nintendo 64, the Turok franchise has
returned with a roar; this time springing on to the Next Generation gaming
platform. Armed with a rich, all-new story line, as well as features and
gameplay that will remind players why they fell for the genre in the fi rst
place, players will come away knowing why it is a good thing for humans
that dinosaurs went extinct.

2. Solidier Bugs are as bad as dinos. View larger.The StoryYou are Joseph
Turok, once a member of Wolf Pack — the most savage, merciless black
ops squad of its time. Now, you have been attached by special order to
Whiskey Company, an elite commando team, for what should have been a
simple mission: Capture and detain Roland Kane from his fortress on a
worthless, backwater planet. Kane is an escaped war criminal, the once-
legendary leader of Wolf Pack...and your former mentor. Unbeknownst to
you and your team, Kane is in command of a secret paramilitary force
funded by the Mendel-Gruman (M-G) Corporation. As Whiskey Companys
ship approaches the planet, it is blasted out of the sky by Kanes troops.
Suddenly, your simple mission isnt quite so simple. Even worse, it quickly
becomes apparent that Mendel-Gruman scientists have been terraforming
and genetically engineering the once-barren planet for accelerated
evolution.The Trouble with DinosaursThe trouble is that they like meat and
that‘s just what you are to them. So your number one rule is don‘t get
eaten. Far from cuddly, the genetically altered prehistoric beasts that
Mendel-Gruman has unleashed on the landscape of the world you are
dropped into come in all shapes, sizes. Although game developer,
Propaganda Games, drew from Earth‘s own fossil record, they also let
their creative juices flow as they created the deadly fauna of the game.
Just a few of the beasties players will have to deal with are:Velociraptors –
Velociraptors are some of the most vicious and deadly predators on the
planet. Beware, they can charge their prey, knocking them backwards and
then mauling them with their deadly claws and teeth.Mini-Raptors –
Despite their diminutive size, mini-raptors move quickly and often hunt in
packs, making them a deadly enemy.Dilophosaurus – This large dinosaur
is a mean carnivore with a huge appetite. It has a large crest on its head
and can use its powerful tail to knock down enemies.Lurkers – Like a cross
between a dinosaur and a powerful jungle cat, Lurkers prowl the jungle,
climbing and positioning themselves on trees and rocks, always ready to
pounce on its next prey.Soldier Bugs – These eight legged creatures look
like the common scorpion, but they are much bigger and deadlier. They
can be encountered in caves and other dark, enclosed areas on the planet.
They are often seen in swarms, and due to their large size can easily
overcome prey.T-Rex – The Mother of all dinosaurs, the T-Rex is the
smartest and largest of all creature enemies on this terraformed planet.
Turok and Whisky company will have many run-ins with the T-Rex
throughout the campaign.In addition to these, other creatures also roam
the jungles and caves of the planet, some carnivorous and others pla nt
eaters, but all are dangerous. Underestimate them at your own
risk.Strategy and Multiplayer MayhemAlthough the real attention grabber in
Turok are the dinosaurs, the most challenging combat in the game is
essentially human on human. In these clashes the dinos serve as very
dangerous obstacles. Even so, it‘s best not to go dino crazy, so the best
players should not only come to coexist with the ‗terrible lizards‘ of this
planet, but find a use for them. Through a combination of tactics players
will learn how to use the single-minded feeding instinct of the dinosaurs
against their human enemies, both real and AI. But be cautious. Your
human opponents know the rules of engagement as well as you do and

3. may very well use your own tactics against you.Regarding game modes, in
addition to a single player mode utilizing engaging cinematic flashbacks
and in-game interactions with non-playable characters to reveal the path
that has brought Turok to the jungles of this alien world, players will also
enjoy several raging online multiplayer modes. Including everything from
four-player co-op play to 16 player matches in deathmatch and capture the
flag modes, these online frag-fests are best enjoyed by spreading the
action across the game‘s seven in-game maps. Filled with a variety of
terrain ranging from high exposed routes, to low lying paths and even lava
covered volcano slopes, these maps and possible additional downloadable
content, should add extensive hours of gameplay.Weapons – Quiet and
Not So Quiet KillsTrue to its RPG roots Turok comes loaded with a large
arsenal of weapons, but the real fun of this selection is its variety. Easily
accessible from your controller‘s D-Pad, available weapons are both low
tech and modern, and range from the basic, but quite deadly survival knife
and compound bow, all the way up to standard FPS favorites like chain
guns, shotguns, duel-wield pistols and a rocket launcher. Learning to use
all these at the proper time is also crucial. Beyond the addiction of taking
down an enemy with nothing but a cold piece of steel, silence on the
battlefield can be priceless, especially when there are raptors about that
will come running at the slightest sound. But on the other hand a rocket
launcher does come in handy in a pinch.In the end whether it‘s taking on
the game‘s larger than life fauna or its unabashed old-school shooter roots,
Turok is a sure bet to deliver for gamers yearning to get back to the good
old days.
