    Quite inferior to its predecessor in all aspects. One of the worst nintendo 64 games i can remember.

    Turok 3 is a genuinely good FPS game which, despite being clearly rushed, manages to improve upon not only Turok 2, but the games it draws influence from, such as Half Life and System Shock 2.

    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    Turok 3 is a genuinely good FPS game which, despite being clearly rushed, manages to improve upon not only Turok 2, but the games it draws influence from, such as Half Life and System Shock 2.

    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.    … Expand

    This is awful. The gameplay is absurd, with the requirement to repeat actions entirely after every death. Virtually unplayable.

    Turok 3 is a mediocre game when compared to the seeds of evil masterpiece.

    It notes that it is a game that is not finished and that has not been worked with the same rigor as its predecessor.

    I want to stay in a game and can not.

    I have this game and Turok 2. The sad true is that Turok 3 is a step backwards compared to the previous game. The graphics look blurry and the physics are unfinished.

    Great game like few others, excitement from start to finish, recommended to those who couldn't with turok 2.

    A really good game, there are lots of cool things about it and it is a lot of fun to play.

    Turok 3 was made and released very quick and it shows rough laggy gameplay with also a almost no promotions for the game giving it very low sales near the end of the N64 lifespan.

    Turok ditches the dinosaurs and introduces venom spitting aliens and zombies in another highly playable FPS. It's a bit more linear than the previous games but some cool designs and nice, precise controls give plenty of scope for some satisfying long distance headshots.

    Easily the best in the series and one of the best first-person shooters on the system.

    Simply put, this is the best Turok game yet and second only to "Perfect Dark" as a first person shooter.

    It offers a different experience than "Perfect Dark" and "TWINE" and Turok 3 is worth a look.
