About this product

Product Information

Former publisher Acclaim's daring dinosaur-hunting series has been saved from the brink of extinction courtesy of Touchstone. Turok is a re-imagining of the franchise, a first-person shooter infused with aspects of stealth and survival horror, as players explore a planet rife with prehistoric creatures. Unlike the Native American protagonists found in the comic books and Acclaim video games, main character Joseph Turok is a futuristic Special Forces soldier on a mission to capture a war criminal named Roland Kane. After his spacecraft is shot down during its final approach, Turok realizes he no longer has the element of surprise. He must now rely on his extensive military expertise to defeat Kane's soldiers, genetically altered dinosaurs, and other creatures in the lush jungles of a hostile, unfamiliar world. <br><br>One of the game's distinguishing features, aside from the anachronistic theme, is the manner in which players can engage the enemy. Instead of blasting everything that stomps, slithers, or runs, players can lure dinosaurs to attack other creatures or soldiers by creating well-timed distractions. Stealth tactics involving bows and knives are possible, as is the more "direct" approach with such weapons as railguns, shotguns, and flamethrowers. Vehicles can also be used to help navigate the hazardous terrain, and members of Turok's elite squad will periodically assist players in coordinated attacks against groups of enemies. Up to 16 players can complete online in multiple game modes, including variants on deathmatch, capture-the-flag, and other team-oriented formats. Turok is Canadian developer Propaganda Games' first software release.

Game review
Read several bad reviews on this game my take is it brought back good memories from the N64. To me had an Ok story but the dinosaurs were generic and you fought the same ones over and over just different colors. All in all I love it but it probably has to do with me being such a big turok fan from the earlier Nintendo days. And this is nothing like or even close to the original story.

...and I don’t even like 1st person shooters.
The Turok games have only been so so. Then this final installment and a stroke of genius. 10/10...and I don’t even like 1st person shooters. From the story line, to the voice acting, gameplay and opposition, this is one for the archives. I really wanted a sequel or at the very least an HD remake like BioShock got for PS4 or Xbox one. I love this game.

Action and good story.
My son and I can play it together. It’s not strictly violence and swearing, although there are a few rough spots. We both like dinosaurs and that’s a cool part of the game. Good value for the price!

It made my son's day, thanks.
My son is into Dinosaurs and he found this game on youtube. It's an older game and I was glad I found a copy.

Turok
Pretty good game. If you're looking for a game to just run around free roam killing dinosaurs this is not it. It's mission based.
