Turok Remastered

The best way to play a classic FPS that can still offer an engaging and fun experience for those willing to give it an honest chance.

Obviously there are better Turok games that could see the light of day on the PC market, but the original Dinosaur Hunter is what will hopefully be a good start for stronger ports to come. It's certainly worth enjoying all over again, especially if you're feeling nostalgic for the "good ol' days" of gaming. It's priced about right, too – for $20, you too can be Turok.

Fun, fast-paced and full of ass-kickin’ action, this is a straight-up Jurassic classic that everyone should experience.

Despite the fact that Turok doesn't gel with the standards of today's first-person shooters, it nonetheless serves as a great nostalgia trip with retro gameplay that is delightfully old-school.

Turok Remastered is the same game that came out in 1997. Frantic gunplay, non-linear adventure and solid platform and exploration mechanics. Has some issues in enemies AI and it's weak in terms of remastered graphics.

As a remaster Iguana Games could do a lot better and the price will not please everyone, but Turok is always Turok and a good and fun travel back in time is always welcome.

It’s fast paced arcade shooter style is a ton of fun, and considering the types of leaps and bounds it brought to the FPS genre, it’s no wonder that it managed to succeed all those years ago.

Turok Remastered offers lots of sentimental value, but its gameplay suffers the years passed since its first release and the price is a bit too steep.

Turok Remastered is exactly what I expected it to be, and I enjoyed the nostalgia trip. I hope they continue with the series, as Seeds of Evil is still my favorite in the franchise. Turok was a series that definitely had its chance, but I don’t think ever got the proper game it deserved. I love revisiting these old N64 titles in a new light, and who knows, perhaps in a few years the dinosaur hunter can once again become relevant in gaming.

It will mostly appeal to fans of the original. I can’t say this remaster will help introduce the younger generation of gamers to one of gaming’s classics. Had it been a proper remake with modern graphics, it would’ve been more popular. I absolutely loved it but recognize that there are issues with the overall game.

A piece of gaming history with some interesting changes in the gameplay, but basically thought for the nostalgic.

Gamers who’ve never experienced the old-school variety of first person shooters may also still enjoy Turok – though it’s a bit more punishing than modern first person shooters, the availability of cheat codes and a wide arsenal of weapons and enemies should still make an entertaining adventure for gamers who don’t mind older, jagged-looking graphics.

Turok is a great example of a type of game the FPS genre moved away from, and is actually better to play now than it was in its original version.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Remastered it’s an easy recommendation for nostalgic fans so long as they curb any lofty expectations of it being just as good as it was almost twenty years ago. Give this a try as a newcomer and you’ll be surprised to find a solid dino blasting relic that hasn’t quite defied the conventions of time, but is still fun nonetheless.

Turok hasn't aged particularly well, but it still fun to play because of all the memories it brigs. Still, you might want to keep the fog on, because AI and the gunplay weren't designed to play without it.

While Turok: Dinosaur Hunter undoubtedly shows its age in both its unappealing graphics and some of its gameplay mechanics, there is still a lot of enjoyment to be had with the hybrid FPS/exploration gameplay.

While the ten-year-old inside of me would like to pretend that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is perfect and the best shooter of all time, I have to admit it isn't and this version isn't anything special. If you're looking to relive a retro experience with slightly better draw distance, a solid 60fps framerate, and a far superior control system then by all means pick this up. If you're more accustomed to the modern day FPS, it's best to leave this one buried in the past.

I like Turok; but I like it as an N64 game where I can make excuses for its shortcomings based on its platform—in a vacuum where I can’t compare it to other, truly great shooters.

Outdated shooter with a dinosaur bonus. Only retro fans with too much money to spend will be thrilled.

Turok may have been state-of-the-art in 1997 but today both its graphics and its gameplay feel virtually prehistoric.
