Review of Turok

Turok (2008 Video Game)
7/10
Good, enjoyable action
2 July 2012
This was the last video game about good old comic book Indian hunter Turok, later a dinosaur hunter, here presented in distant future. Many people were pretty upset by this "video game adaption" of main character. But I found it good, I liked it a lot. The last Turok video games were not bad, but I just couldn't find them playable, I read a few comic books, I liked it. But this game is good. This Turok is called Joseph Turok. "Turok" is actually a title, a heritage that is bestowed upon a next Indian hunter. Joseph is a former black ops marine, later a member of "Wolf Pack" leaded by Kane, an evil military leader and Turok's mentor. Turok joined marines in mission to find Kane on terraformed planet full of dinosaurs. So they kept that tradition of Turok who hunts dinosaurs and other mutated creatures. Well, in previous adaptions he fought not only dinosaurs, but also other hunters and mutated monsters that carries a gun. Sweet! Overall, the game has good graphics, good story, good action, characters are good, the best thing is voice actors, a bunch of well-known dudes here (Powers Boothe, Ron Perlman, Timothy Olyphant, William Fichtner, etc), hunting dinosaurs with a knife and bow and arrow is kickass! The only thing that is pretty upsetting, is that Turok is not that agile, he is pretty slow, and you need to get use to his movements and actions... and sometimes, enemy is extremely aggressive and you get stuck in the jam of combat. But, you can try it out, really not bad. Enjoy it.
