Turns out, killing dinosaurs ain’t as fun as it used to be.

Turok- Nay

If you were as deeply involved with the N64 as i was when i was a child , you most likely rented a Turok game from Blockbuster at one point or another. Now, years later, Propaganda Games has let loose yet another sequel on the gaming world. Though i wish i could say much has changed, it really hasn’t. The graphics are great, but isn’t that the case with most Xbox 360 games? In this day and age, good graphics don’t set a game aside much.

A main boast of the trailers of this game is the ability to stealth kill your enemies ( be they Human or Dinosaur) with your trusty knife. Now this sounds like an exciting addition to the game, but after realizing that there are only 2 or 3 kill animations you may feel a little different. early on in the game you are instructed by a comrade to “Take out as many as you can with your knife before they notice you”, this line serves only for dramatic affect, because the AI would gladly let you run in and massacre 15 of its soldiers before they even
notice your existence. This game is not all bad, the actual control of your character is very tight, which is something i can appreciate in a shooter. Although what good is good control if it can only be used to
fight dim witted enemies and do the same knife kill sequence 40 or 50 times?

Online, Turok doesn’t bring much originality to the table, besides form the addition of free roaming dinosaurs. People seem to be relatively entertained by this game in general, which is surprising to me. If you ask me , your better off dusting off that old N64 and playing an older Turok game…or better yet, Goldeneye.

Happy Gaming,
Jeff

Hi,
Its really fantastic to read this kind of the post .This is really a good creation . This is really awesome ..I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets… Thanks

Hi,
I like the way you write ..Its really different and interesting … keep the momentum going ..I hope tis will really going to help me in future..Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.You know what’s really exciting about video games is you don’t just interact with the game physically — you’re not just moving your hand on a joystick, but you’re asked to interact with the game psychologically and emotionally as well. You’re not just watching the characters on screen; you’re becoming those characters.
brilliant. .
