Game Details: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

The Lost Land...

A world where time has no meaning - and evil knows no bounds. Torn from a world long gone, the time traveling warrior Turok has found himself thrust into a savage land torn by conflict. An evil overlord known as 'The Campaigner' seeks to shred the fabric of time and rule the universe using an ancient artifact known as 'The Chronoscepter'.

The Chronoscepter was shattered thousands of years ago in an effort to keep it from falling into evil hands. The Campaigner has constructed a massive focusing array which he plans to use to magnify and pervert the power of the Chronoscepter in order to shatter the barriers between the ages and rule the universe. Turok has vowed to find the eight pieces of the Chronoscepter spread throughout the Lost Land and put an end to The Campaigner's evil plot...

Original N64europe review

Turok is a Doom game, but then with dinosaurs, and it has totally wicked graphics, especially when you fire your nuclear weapon! Talking about weapons, Turok has got a wide selection of weapons. The weapons are Knife, Arrows, Pistol, Shotgun, Automatic Shotgun, Assault Fire, Grenade Launchers, Pulse Rifle, Mini Gun, Alien weapon, Quad Rocket Launcher, Particle Accelerator, Fusion Cannon and a Chronosepter. The Chronosepter is the one I prefer most, because when you fire it it has got the most spectacular graphics you have ever seen, the atomic explosion looks so real that you think you're in Hiroshima after you've blasted ones. There is only one thing about that weapon, you've got to search the pieces for it before you can fire it, and they are spread through the entire game.

But now enough about the weapons, let's say something about the gameplay. You've got to get used to the gameplay a bit, because you can turn right and left with the 3D-stick and moving forwards or backwards can be done by using the yellow buttons. In the beginning this is a bit hard, but after a while it's really easy. There are 12 levels, which are all gigantic and will take at least an half an hour to finish (when you don't know the way around) . The monsters you've got to compete against are as you've noticed dinosaurs, and some weird guys. The final meaning of the game is not hunting at the Dinosaurs, they just get in the way.
