Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Review

Get medieval on some prehistoric ass
Turok is Doom-style 3D shoot-'em-up, but on a scale like nothing you've seen before. As you explore this fantastic world, you'll come across locations and items that'll make you wonder if your saurian friends are all that they seem to be. But first, you're going to need something a little stronger than a bow and arrow to defend yourself. There's a veritable arsenal to be collected in Turok. Each weapon has its own advantages, and some of the pyrotechnics are unfeasibly spectacular. Oddly enough, though, when Turok dies, his multitude of weaponry is nowhere to be seen - maybe he just has huge pockets of something...


Describing the stages in Turok as mere 'levels' doesn't really do them justice - it took us almost two hours to find everything in the first one alone, and they get bigger! On each stage you have three keys to find, which allow access to later levels. The levels don't need to be opened in order, and you can go between them at will, but you'll need to explore all eight levels to be able to complete the game. Hidden on each level is a piece of the artifact known as the Chronosceptre. Trouble is, each pieces are so well hidden that it'll take hours of head scratching to find 'em.

// Overview
Verdict
As good as Mario, but for different reasons, and the first real 'grown-up' game on the system. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter also shows that it's not only Nintendo who can make the N64 sing. The only disappointment is the closeness of the fogging to hide the clipping.
