    A bread-and-butter console shooter that will let you blast enemies to your heart's content, but not a whole lot else. If that's good enough for you, then go for it.
  2. TotalGames.net

    What you have is a mish-mash of two gameplay styles, neither of which is particularly enthralling. Particularly not when you’ve got games like "Timesplitters 2" hitting the streets at almost the same time.
  3. G4 TV

    The problem is that most of Turok feels as if the developers were trying to emulate another game (mostly "Halo"), with exceedingly mixed results.
  5. Armchair Empire
    70
    A difficult FPS-style game that suffers from a few short-comings that prevent it from being a truly great game.
  6. Electric Playground

    If you have other consoles and are going to get a version of it, it's probably better to look at the GameCube and Xbox versions.
  7. GameSpy
    65
    It's an unpolished game that will drown players in nostalgia for the first several chapters, but it's nothing we haven't all played before.
  8. IGN

    Isn't a horrible game, but underneath its pretty exterior and impressive CG work, is a mediocre, linear game, replete with erratic AI, annoying voice acting, an over-reliance on weapon animation and kill animations.
  9. PSM Magazine

    The AI ranges from pretty good to downright lame. [Nov 2002, p.41]

  10. GamePro

    With subpar graphics, the action doesn’t get as bloodied as it should.
  11. PSX Nation
    60
    Oh well, at least the flawed PS2 ports of "Max Payne" and "Blood Omen 2" now have something else to point at that has just as much unfulfilled potential as they did when they were released.
  12. GamerWeb Sony

    The game's visual bugs, familiar gameplay, and suspect framerate make this game seem more like a devolution.
