Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Mixing first-person shooting action with suitably threatening creatures from the Jurassic past, Turok: Evolution is a welcome step forward in the franchise. Its secret? Nothing major, just that the developers have gone back to what made the series so fun in the first place. This latest sequel is a clear beneficiary of that decision. Thus, the game's action returns to the Lost Lands, albeit with smarter visuals and some excellent, moody audio effects. The gameplay itself, while primarily action based, does reward occasional stealth, although more fun will be gleamed from the broadened arsenal of hardware and choosing when to use them. There's a lot to explore, and the enemy AI puts up a far harder fight than the game's predecessors, all of which count as sizeable marks in the plus column. Turok: Evolution is no classic, though. Its levels are frequently a little too sprawling, and despite the generally enjoyable gameplay, a little more urgency wouldn't have gone amiss. That said, it's a title that's going to reward expectant fans of the franchise, and while it's not cutting edge stuff, Turok: Evolution does offer good value for money, and a challenging, lasting single player mode, with an equally enjoyable multi-player segment bolted on. Bottom line: it's a flawed game, but still an entertaining one. And thanks to a generous smattering of levels, tight controls and a sizeable game world, there's enough on the disc to keep the player immersed for some time. --Simon Brew Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Worth waiting for?It proudly states on the rear of the box that"..Every FPS fan will be taking a week off work..or words to that effect,what from,shock? I've never played any of the other games and only got this as a 'free' gift for joining Special Reserve at the time,its'....okay. Graphically it's all over the place,one nice water effect is seemingly at the expense of some ropey dinosaur skin or some plastic looking leaves,fairly good,at the time,Slegs mean rubber toy like alligators it goes on,bland textureless rocks,dodgy looking tunnels and then you meet the woman with the pteranodon or whatever it was!,I never had an N64 but I imagine she would look pretty similar,if not better!,on that. The flying bits,Oh God! don't get me started,the ... Read More: Rating:  - Turok evolutionThis is the best gamecube game ever. Its really fun Anyone should buy this game Rating:  - Not bad FPS gameThis is a reasonably good FPS game. The weapons are fun to use and well thought out. The levels are split into reasonably sized chunks which don't take forever to complete (apart from the tough ones you have to play 10 times to complete). The scenery is attactive and interesting. Graphics are good apart from when you end up stood in the middle of bushes when it turns into a confused mess of crisscross blotchly leaves. Stealthy snipers and run and blast styles of play are both possible. It's not as good as Halo on the X-box, but it is a reasonable game. Not as bad as some of the poor reviews make it out to be. Rating: - How good is Turok?Very. The first thing you do in control of Tal'Set you find yourself frightened purely because of the scenery. The first view is of loads of vegetation (which enemies can and DO hide in!!) and a simple war club in your hand. Round the first corner and get attacked by three mini brutes of Dinosaurs!!! From this moment on the excitement doesn't stop. I've found myself genuinely enticed and have been pushing myself forward out of pure adrenaline!! How many video games can claim to do that? Only one other. Perfect Dark. And that was perfection in a cartridge. Turok is the equivalent on a disc no bigger than 3 inches. So why the lack of the fifth star. Some levels are fiendishly difficult and occasionally 'glitches' appear. The worst being on the ... Read More: Rating: - The regressive geneFrom the moment the game begun, I was disappointed. The original Turok on the N64 was amazing, even with the aggressive distance fog rendering, the atmosphere was fantastic. The flying levels are a nice touch, but you find yourself flying into trees all to often, and having to start the level right from the beginning really does start to tick you off. Turok Evolution smacks of an unfinished game. The special effects are neat, albeit slightly overdone in certain places. You seem to encounter the same four enemies over and over again and there are not enough dinosaurs to contend with other than the same old mini velociraptors every now and then (that small annoying grey version) - I've only had one t-rex to contend with, ...
