 Better than Evolution...but that's not saying much. May 21, 2008
I really wanted to like this game...I really did. As I was playing it I found all sorts of reasons the do so. The graphics were good, the gameplay was glitch-free as far as I've seen, the story wasn't all that bad (granted it was weak, but how many Turok games have really had a solid story?), and the gameplay mechanics were interesting. However, there were just a few problems that kept me from really enjoying it.
The biggest problem I encountered was the fact that checkpoints could be almost 30 minutes apart (depending on how quickly you blaze through). One tends to get fed up with a game the second or third time you die and lose all the hard work you just put into sneaking up on guards and stealth killing your way across the battlefield. I guess I've been spoiled by "save anywhere" games, but there is a reason for this...the "save anywhere" system is simply the best (if you disagree, that's fine...but I don't understand why, perhaps you'd prefer it if games still had "extra lives" too?).
The other problems are mostly minor, so I don't feel I need to write a huge piece about them, but they and the save issue adds up to making an otherwise enjoyable game a chore.

game play started off alright, then just went back to the same scenarios not a game to play over and over , just play and trade.
 Can you say disappointment? April 25, 2008

O.K. so I don't know why I trusted the commercials for this. I almost always take ANY commercial with a grain of salt. But something about dinosaurs and Native American bloodlines on a next gen system sent my imagination into an overload of hope and potential. First and for most, the only thing in this game that looked remotely decent were the dinosaurs. And even then they didn't look as good as a next gen console should. The humans in the game were looking like something off my original Xbox. Pathetic. Then comes game play. Throughout the beginning of the game (which is all I played) I had no feeling of any freedom of where to go. I felt very much like I was in a heard. Then when you fight the dinosaurs, and they get close enough you have to hit a couple buttons to do some "fatality" type move. It happens WAY to often. and gets boring right quick. I ended up trading in the game cause I couldnt take the repetitive nature and the sub par graphics.
 One of the best 360 games yet! April 18, 2008

Amazing graphics, awesome missions, very realistic atmosphere, and hair raising dinosaurs. Turok brings back that joy of dino hunting and gives you the frights of your life. T-Rex anyone. Mulitplayer is awesome and even though they only have three missions they are developing a whole new set as we speak. Lots of fun with friends or solo, it doesen't get any better than this!
No hype - just fun April 15, 2008

This game has received many negative, undeserved comments. I would like to clear the air and say that I had a blast playing it. The weapons are very cool and original, unlike many of the other FPS on the market. I think the game has stayed very true to it's roots, kill dinosaurs and maniacs. The creators have managed to make one more Turok game without it feeling like a remake. I wish this could be said for many of the other FPs games that just keep repeating themselves ( Tom Clancy could take a lesson in this department ).
The game play and controls are some of the best, and I have played all the big name FPS games. The knife kills take the melee attacks to a new level. The enviroments and backgrounds alone make the game worth playing. The A.I. will keeep you constantly moving, no more getting comfortable and picking your shots. You will have to think while you fight.
The designers have clearly made a huge effort to stay away from the standard FPS format and really paid off. This game made me remember why I love video games.
