Product Description
In Turok: Evolution, you must save the River People of the Lost Land from the threat of the Biosaurs, with an all-new leader -- Turok's oldest enemy! Great graphics, sound and gameplay!
Amazon.co.uk Review
The granddaddy of console first-person shooters makes its way to next-generation consoles in style in Turok Evolution. Blast your way through velociraptors, stegosaurs, ankylosaurs, brachiosaurs, and other enemies with the most ludicrously destructive weapons ever--including variable payload cruise missiles, gravity disruptor beams, and the mighty swarm bore--and prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor when you see the devastation they cause. The graphics are utterly gorgeous: the game's 50-odd species, from harmless ickle butterflies to merciless T. rexes, are rendered in painstaking detail, and the environments are lush and interactive--plants and trees move as creatures brush through them, and you can shoot down trees to crush your enemies (or scuttle off as they try to knock piles of rocks down on you). The explosions and enemy deaths are particularly gobsmacking, and the sound effects are just as good. Thankfully, all this is backed up by great gameplay--an entirely new game engine has been developed for next-gen hardware, and though Turok Evolution is principally a first-person shooter, in certain levels you're backed up by a squad of allies, and in others you get to ride a flying dino with strap-on rocket launchers. The advanced AI means that both enemies and allies behave in a realistic manner and will adapt their tactics depending on whether you approach with stealth or force. There are over 60 stages across a variety of single- and split-screen multiplayer modes, with different difficulty levels for rookies or experts. Turok Evolution is an absolute must-have for FPS fans. --Rikki Price
Amazon.com Product Description
Turok: Evolution is a prequel that takes us back to the origins of the Turok lineage. In the beginning of the game, we see our hero, Tal'Set, fighting nemesis Captain Tobias Bruckner in 1886 Texas. During the battle, a rift between their world and the Lost Lands opens and Tal'Set is sucked into it. Features and enhancements to this new installment in the Turok franchise include the groundbreaking Squad Dynamics System (SDS) for realistic enemy and allied squad AI, and an entirely new game engine built to take full advantage of the next-generation hardware platforms. All-new weapons including Variable Payload Cruise Missiles, Gravity Disrupter Beams, and the Swarm Bore--each with unique traits and damage. Flight sequences now enable players to soar through the skies on a winged pteranodon, and scripted event sequences bring the world to life with stunning detail. Turok: Evolution features 32 types of prehistoric and indigenous life rendered with frightening realism. The game is full of destructible objects and environments: shoot down trees over your enemies and collapse massive rock spires onto dinosaurs. The environments consist of lush, living jungles. Plants move as dinosaurs brush against them while trees sway in the wind. The game also includes stealth- and action-based gameplay directed by context-sensitive, mission-based sequences. Great care was also taken with the multiplayer modes, which were developed by a dedicated team of designers, programmers, and artists.

 Pretty awesome April 26, 2008
I love this game. I think the graphics are wonderful and killing dinosaurs and these warrior guys is so much fun. You have to at least try this game once. I'm hooked.
Maybe its Nostalgia, but I liked it February 13, 2008
I admit TUROK(2008) is graphically superior to Turok: Evolution, but this game is still bigger in scope an depth than TUROK(2008).
Sure, this game suffers from the same bad formulas an filler content that almost ever FPS game has; Bad intro, cheesy plot an villains. But the sheer scope of level design and variety of crazy weapons, I have yet to see in many next-gen games.
One of the most profound events was at the end when Turok didn't kill Bruckner. I like that.
Its hard for this game to not look dated in relation to the new game...but it still has cool features that should be persevered.
To bad video games don't often ever get remade. I still like havening this in my collection.
 big letdown February 3, 2008
i think that turok could have been much better if they put more time into the gameplay. I loved the multiplayer that was the best part of the game. so i guess ill give it a 2 only for the multiplayer if the multiplayer was bad i would've liked to give it less than a 1.

When you start the game you come out of no where... And there you are! And you have to do who know's what! The graphics stink. The story line is the worst I've seen. And how come there is a cave dude who goes around in time and there are rocket launchers! And lots of other things like that like shot-guns and such. And as the other reviewer said about that thing that blows up when it dies. Now just cause this costs 5 bucks doesn't mean you should just buy it! Save up your money for.. the Battle Front and KOTOR games. Those are the best games I've ever played.
