    Between disapointing and interesting

    Turok is a game that came out for PC a bit later then the console version.The game starts in this spaceship where is Turok (our main character).The intro shows us that he was first a prisoner,then a part of The Wolfpack (with its leader Kane (not that one :))) and he is a part of soldier-team,but of course,nobody thrusts him.5 minutes later a rocket crashes into the ship and you are (of course) one of the survivors.When you start exploring the new planet,you see it's full of dinosaurs,big bugs...and people 8| .There are some cool weapons to play with-a shotgun,sniper rifle,pistols,autos,a pulse rifle,a bow and a knife (the last three are my personal favorites).The pulse rifle is the best against human enemies,but against dinosaurs the shotgun feels better (also there are very cool combos with the knife and they are very effective here).Against the big bugs you have to use machine gun or flamethrower.But even with these cool weapons the game is hard,because there are,like,3-4 colors in the game-brown,green,black and white.It's very difficult to see where is the enemy.Also the game loads veeeeeeery slow,but you die very easy and that's a problem,because on every 10 minutes you have to see the loading screen for 2 minutes.Now the graphics are very good and I really fell into the atmosphere of the game right from the beginning,but as I said there are only 4-5 colors,so after 2-3 hours playing this game you will feel headache.The sound effects are also great.But I expected something more,the game is only 10-12 hours,the story feels very weak and the only cool thing from the gameplay remains the stealth action-when you sneak behind somebody to stab him,or you shoot someone with an arrow...still that game is not bad,but I felt it very disappointing :(

      FPS+Dinos should be unlimited FUN.. But very limited in TUROK 0

      Well lets get one thing out right way.. TUROK is not a bad game in any means, neither is it ugly.. Its only that the game feels unfinished in sooo many aspects and thus TUROK finds itself in this mess..In the story mode u play as Joseph Turok an ex of a black ops squad "Wolf Pack" and now part of the commando team called Whiskey Company. Ur primary aim is to track down Rolnd Kane the chief of the Wolf Pack and turok's old mentor.. In the begining itself the ship in which u were travelling is hit...
