    The sickest shooter this side of Xbox killer app "Halo."

    There are so many impressive features that the artificial intelligence, in its best moments, rivals and occasionally surpasses even that of Bungie’s epic shooter "Halo."

    Light on story, heavy on action and gore, Turok Evolution will appeal to fans of the series, but lags a bit behind the design philosophy for most newer shooters.

    It's been too long since I've played an FPS that contains this much engaging challenge and fierce energy. [Oct 2002, p.80]

    There are plenty of great moments, but the complete package falls a bit short. [Nov 2002, p.112]

    Though the FPS levels are solid in design, the game’s mediocre flying levels constantly get in the way of what is good about the game.

    One great looking game on the Xbox as opposed to the PS2 version. The jungles of the Lost Land will have you admiring the scenery the minute you step out into your first mission.

    A decent game, but unfortunately it has just as many lows as it does highs. [Oct 2002, p.90]

    TE copies the formulaic FPS foundation so much so that gamers will get nothing in the whole package they haven’t seen done better in other games.
  11. GamerWeb Xbox

    The game's smooth turnover from third-person shooting to almost flight simulation makes gameplay quick and exciting.
  12. Entertainment Weekly

    A solid title - but still, we would have loved to see a game that was less evolutionary and more revolutionary. [27 Sept 2002, p.89]

    A few glitches in the game have driven the critics crazy. But I found it wonderful. Best hunting game out there in my opinion.
