Turok Review by Steve Heimel
Turok is a game I've always
enjoyed the thought of because of the dinosaurs and
creatures. The question is, does it deliver the
goods? First off Turok is a fps I played on the Xbox 360 for
5 days. It has dinosaurs, giant bugs, enemy soldiers, and
teammates that seem to be dependent on you doing everything for
them. Anyway, let's get into the story of Turok.
Origanally, Turok was about a time-travelling guy, but that has been completely changed. You are now part of a team of soldiers sent to capture your old mentor, and leader of Wolf Pack....Kane. Kane is up to something, but as you approach the planet he has setup his base on, you are shot down and crashland on the planet. You are seperated from everyone and are forced to go searching. You meet up with Slade who tags along with you, and by the way he hates you for whatever reason. Then you find another survivor who's got a sniper and Slade becomes a lot more jolly.(Not to you) Then you all go find the ship and meet up with the rest of the survivors. You then basically forget the mission and try to find ways to get back home, while the story moves on. Which involves fighting off soldiers, bugs, and dinosaurs, looking for stuff, and uncovering Kane's purpose. Of course, you eventually end up at Kane's base and are forced to confront him and his massive army of soldiers. I won't give away the ending because if you think real hard you already know it without even playing. Its incredible isn't it! It's just the basic good guy versus bad guy scenario with a few twists and turns. It only develops relationships with a few characters so when the other ones die dramatic deaths you don't really give a s***. Overall, I'd just give it an average rating on story, but you know most people don't buy the game for story so let's go on.
