Players take on the role of Joseph Turok, a former black ops commando, now part of an elite special forces squad, known as Whiskey Company, which is on a mission to take down a war criminal - Turok's former mentor, Roland Kane. Set on a planet inhabited by Kane and his Mendel-Gruman Corporation soldiers, Turok must use his elite military training to elude Kane's well-trained army and the ravenous, unpredictable dinosaurs, huge insects and other massive creatures that populate the environment.

Pretty Average

As the title says it is quite average, the dinosaurs keep it front being lower score as they offer up different opposition and after all, who doesnt like dinos? The close up assasination moves are cool, but shooting can get boring after a while. Multiplayer offers some more playing time, but there arent many people online. However, it is well worth it at this kind of low price so I would say go for it if you are undecide about buying it.
Underrated

The story is better than given credit for.
Everyone loves dinosaurs to right? Sounds like a winner so far. I have to say i think this game is a must have. I loved the gameplay more than anything which should make you buy a game. It could be improved yeah, and i havent tried online this game but i think its a solid game.
Good but gets boring quick

Gonna be a short one.
Graphics are pretty damn good but can be confusing to decide who is an enemy and who is a tree! (You'll know what i mean) story is longwinded and confusing at times, achievements are poor as pretty much everything is online only.
Do not buy it if you are looking for the same sort of turok from n64. Its a completely different style and gets pretty boring pretty quickly.
Pinning people to walls with the bow is only fun for so long.
And the online play...you would be very lucky to find anyone playing it. I found noone on 4 seperate tries!
