    "Turok 3" features a grotesque, twisted storyline, as opposed to the more toned down storyline that the original "Turok" had, and it almost seems like they were trying too hard to make the game fit in with other first-person shooters.

    You could do a lot worse than re-visiting the first two Turoks and forgetting all about this half-hearted and dispiriting finale to what has been one of the best-loved franchises on the N64. A shame.

    The graphics are remarkable, the character models and shadow effects in particular standing as some of the best on the N64. The story is well told, the voice acting is well done, and while the combat isn't as fluid as something like Perfect Dark, it is still competent.

    The multiplayer is passable, though no real competitor to Perfect Dark. It has 48 maps, and bots.

    This game is a dark horse, and an unappreciated gem. I am tempted to give it 9 out of 10, but I'll settle for 8 out of 10. The game does have issues, but these don't prevent it being an amazing game.    … Full Review »
