Gamespot Turok PS3 Review

Gamespot Turok PS3 Review <-- Full Review

"Turok is a game that has some great moments, including the first time you encounter the raptors in high grass. You can't see them until they're practically on top of you, but by then it's too late. However, it's also a game that has issues. The human opponents are fairly conventional, and they get in the way of killing more dinosaurs. Another annoying issue is that the game doesn't know how to quit when it's ahead, especially when it comes to the many set-piece battles. Imagine battling a horde of giant scorpions or raptors, only to turn around and see another wave rush you. And as soon as you finish that wave, more often than not, a third wave will appear. The first wave was exhilarating, but by the third wave some frustration sets in. That reinforces the feeling that the designers are just padding the length of the game. It doesn't help that the checkpoint saves are few and far between, which means that if you screw up in the final wave, you usually have to restart at the beginning of the entire sequence."
