![]() ![]() I started at the port of Adia, I was really happy to have even more of a story in this one and it felt like a more ambitious, tighter, more fully realized turok. TUROK 2: I started this game in a totally different mindset to when I finished. By the time I got the campaigner I was thinking “oh thank god! That stupid level is over!” So yea that’s my only real niggle with game one. The only downside I felt, was the last level, it overstayed its welcome 2 times over. I was expecting Arnold to show up any minute! The bosses made me chuckle and provided a good but fair challenge, and all is silly campy fashion! A dude in a Hummer? A giant mantis? A FUCKING CYBORG T-REX?!?! Oh frick yea I’m in! And not to mention the silliest named boss ever the “campaigner” it was like watching an 80s sci fi action flick. Not to mention the collectibles in the level, dangling a promise of a NUKE WEAPON?!?! I couldn’t resist! I never felt lost, and never needed hell. All while pumping a great soundtrack and having some great pacing due to the level flow and layout. Every level introducing new set pieces, new badass weapons, and new enemies and hazards. Throughout to game and levels I never felt bored or frustrated (except once and I’ll get to that later). Also I am super happy that native Americans (I know he’s not technically American but I mean come one that’s like what he is even if he’s a native of the lost land) now they did make my mans a TAD stereotypical and offensive but I mean it’s an old game, my native wife made this face plenty of times seeing his character model □. I loved the almost Indiana Jones style story and action packed shooter gameplay. TUROK: I started this game and was very impressed at the hub word and gates. ![]() So like I said before, I jumped at the chance to play it. ![]() Needless to say I missed out on a lot of gaming cornerstones. The former lead to fights about choosing Kirby too much because he was cheap, the latter lead to us yelling about “screen-peaking”. The only N64 in my life was at my cousins house and that was relegated to fights about whether we were gonna play smash or goldeneye. I never had an N64 growing up, and have never been able to play it. I randomly saw that Turok had been remastered too! I jumped at the change to play these pieces of gaming history and downloaded both. So I got a little nostalgic/retro obsessed after absolutely FALLING IN LOVE with the DOOM 64 remaster which is the only DOOM I never got to play but that’s a whole other topic. ![]()
