Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a first-person shooter video game developed by Iguana Entertainment and originally released for the Nintendo 64 video game console on October 21, 1998. A port of the game was also released for Microsoft Windows shortly afterwards. Turok 2 is the second game in the Turok video game series and a sequel to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. The game features a single-player mode consisting of six levels where the player assumes the role of Turok as he tries to defeat a powerful alien entity called the Primagen. It also includes a multiplayer mode where various players can compete against each other in several game types.
Turok 2 received very positive reviews from video game journalists and sold more than one million copies in the United States. Critics praised the arsenal of weapons and the length of the levels, but opinions were mixed on its inconsistent frame rate. A separate game, also titled Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, was released for the Game Boy Color in December 1998. Although set in the same fictional universe, it follows a different storyline. A sequel, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, was released in 2000. A remastered version of the game, developed by Night Dive Studios, is planned to be released for the Xbox One.

I miss how creative FPS weapons used to be. Cerebral Bore FTW!
+DrearierSpider1 fuck oath.
You made many fair observations during your review, but your statement about ammunition being insuficient is just not true. Every level has MANY ammunition and health spawning points, which will keep feeding you items until you are 100% healed and equipped. Also, i don't think you understood how to use some of the weapons. Around the 5 minute mark you waste like 5 shells fighting an enemy at medium range. Turok's shotgun is clearly meant to be used point blank, because it sucks otherwise. What im trying to say here, is that every weapon has a precise use, and it may be up to the player to find when and where to use them, and in the end, that may be the reason for low ammo capacity. If every weapon had a 100 ammo capacity like quake, having 24 weapons would be redundant, because you could simply stick to a powerful gun like the shredder throughout the whole game. By reducing the ammo capacity but also giving you over 20 weapons, the game is more about knowing the weapons and when to use them, and less about trigger-happy approaches. Turok 2 does a fantastic job at balancing the guns, altough there are a couple of useless weapons, such as the tranquiliser and the mine layer.
Anyways, I really enjoyed your review. Am I nostalgia blinded? Maybe, I don’t know. Turok 2 is a game a come back to every 2 years or so, and I never had any ammo problems.
Cheers!
I'm a bit late to the party but I'd like to add that the weapons also do a different amount of damage depending on the enemy. Those big sword guys with the funny round face-thing in the swamp will take multiple shredder or shotgun rounds to the face, but a tek arrow will one-shot them, and you don't even have to aim except for "hit any part of their body".
Yeah, was odd. I played T2 recently and used the ammo restock from the save points only twice throughout the whole game, never really had an issue with ammo. The balancing felt just right. And the game did hold up. Just depends how you feel about huge mazes that are twice or thrice as large as any doom map. Personally, I love it. Though it could have used better visual signposting in some spots. As for gggman saying it's not hard...of course it's not with unrestrictive saving. On the N64 the game was brutal, mostly in a good way.
Some enemies also drop ammo in the later levels. This encourages you to use weapons in interesting combinations. In level 6 I remember enemies dropping charge darts and plasma rounds, so I found myself stunning enemies and then shooting them point blank with shotgun or even war blade. In level 4 I used tek bow, plasma rifle (to pick off distant crossbow enemies), and flamethrower more so than in other levels. In level 3 the shotgun and mag 60 were my best friends. Levels 1 and 2 were more forgiving and I didn’t feel I had to optimize my weapon usage. And in level 5, man...I just used whatever weapon I ended up selecting in a panic because that level was intense.
Now this is where is at. What can i say about this game, honestly ? I remember playing this and having my god damned jaw dropping to the floor, the graphics, the amazing music (still one of the best soundtracks for a game i've ever heard), the weapons, the story, the game play, everything. This is one of the best shooters i've ever played and the memories are strong with this one. I still listen to its soundtrack to this day, years later. And the weapons in this game are still one of the coolest i've ever seen in a shooter. Lets see what they do with the reboot of this one.Thank you for the great review !
Remember how crazy this shit was when it first dropped, with the ram expansion it ran at a mind blowingly high resolution! Like 640x480 or something!
The Cerebral Bore is FUCKIN' BEAST M8!
agree
+Salokin Sekwah It's to MLG
About the ammo/ health shortage: There are actual a lot of places where ammo and health keeps respawning ( indicated by aan distinctive audio cue) It however takes around 20 sec. per spawn and you get aan few bullets per spawn and randomly whichever weapon you need ammo for... so to fully stock up on health and ammo could take a few minutes... You complained about ammo stinginess so I guess you never figured that one out?
Echt he
Dude there are multiple places throughout each level that has infinitely-respawning ammo pickups. 5:30 THAT'S one of those places right there.. The ammo situation is not that bad.
I did that alot waiting to restore all ammo in those spots but i played the n64 game i dont know if they changed it in pc.
Let's hope that Night Dive Studios remaster of Turok 2 will sort out some the issues you had with this game
+lllDevilbytheDeedlll The PC controls weren't bad at all, you could configure them to your liking and the mouse wasn't inverted unless you turned the option on.
However the aiming was ridiculous, If you're even a mere pixel off then you won't hit the enemy even with autoaim.
+DashieSparkle I tried playing this game not long ago on 64 and the whole up is down and down is up
made me give up. Is there even an option in the game to inverted to normal? Tried looking for it but couldnt.
Giovanni Synthesis There should be something in the options, I remember turning it back to normal on the 64 at some point.
+RetroDeath Reviews wrong theres no option for that
Still love this game but impossible to play it now. haha
I've replayed Turok 2 couple years ago. It still holds really well for me. For me it is defiantly one of the best shooters out there.
+Gua It literally is the perfect hardcore shooter. People complain about lack of ammo and constant re-spawns, but that was the fucking point of the game, it is designed to piss you off and constantly test you.
Although everyone back at release along with me all agreed it was one of the best shooters ever, kids nowadays obviously hold a different standard but what the fuck do they know.
Turok 2 also used the same engine as that South Park FPS didn't it?
+Larry Bundy Jr South Park was using a very very sliiiiiggghtly enhanced version of the turok 2 engine.
not a huge difference and honestly I think T2 looks alot better.
RetroDeath Reviews
I think it would be impossible to improve the graphics of south park without loosing the look of the TV show.
***** i know, but the engine was actually slightly more advanced in south park than Turok 2, even though t2 ofc looks better.
It's weird.
RetroDeath Reviews
The Irony :D
***** you're telling me, lmaoo xP
Beware, oblivion is at hand!
Yes! I used to put that in all the time BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND
xLucky Sinz me too man, me too!
"its not that hard of a game"
"i never could beat it"
lol
And that´s why this butthurt fueled review says the game is bad. 2 words to the reviewer :"Git gud".
@@rubz1390 It should be easier for a 35 year old man tho. As a matter of fact I never finished the game as a kid, but did so as a grown up. So your argument really doesn´t benefit the butthurt reviewer who can´t handle a video game :D I mean there are many games for different people and it´s alright to have different opinions, but you can´t say a video game is bad cause you can´t handle it. You should just say you don´t like it and that´s fair.
shoaku he never fucking said the game was bad, holy fuck.
Chasm: The Rift had a dismemberment system long before Soldier of Fortune. Or Turok.
+TheCraziestFox Yep. I was going to say that =D
I remember buying this game purely because the box art popped hard
I find an important point you missed is that every level has various points where the health and ammo pick ups will regenerate, and they will give whatever ammo you are not maxed on so you can just keep backtracking to those points and camp there for a minute or two till you are all stocked. It does feel like your ammo cap that you can carry around at a time is a bit low, but I just found that this meant I had to be strategic with which weapons to use, and so I found it to add to the tension. The atmosphere in this game was incredible to me at the time on the N64 and I still feel it with the PC remaster. I also didn't have too much issue with the inconsistent damage dealt to enemies, and felt that the game was just very picky on hit detection so if you hit a limb then you could blow it off, but if you hit the torso then it may take more ammo. I do recommend the PC remaster from Nightdive studios. Game works great on Windows 10, and many of the more annoying issues with the game have been fixed. The Maze like levels was very frustrating though, especially in maps like the River of Souls, and the Caves of the Blind ones. With how far apart many of the save points were it really did not help, and if you missed an objective and had to backtrack then that was really frustrating.
Seeing the main character tumble out of the portal and encounter the busty Twilek is a blast from the past. I think I had this on a week rental and played it a lot on the N64.
This is the first video review I've seen for this game that wasn't completely blinded by nostalgia. I own Seeds of Evil for the N64 but've never actually played it, and I watched a lot of reviews for it awhile ago to see if I was missing anything. Thanks for giving us an objective look at this game.
Man, right away with that music -- an instant flashback/time-warp to my childhood. I could practically taste the Oreos and Surge before you'd even started talking, filling my veins with a phantom sugar rush. lol, "Nostalgia's a dangerous thing," indeed...
Turok 2 is one of those games that gets an A for effort. Far from perfect, but cool concepts.
Turok 2 is one of the best FPS games and was one of the most critically acclaimed games at the time for a reason. I agree with your points but it is really unfair to judge this game by the horrible PC port, it will and always will be an N64 game to me.
Lord Gaben the game was unaceptable in both systems. In N64 it runned at 10 or 15 FPS
He’s reviewing the PC port, why the fuck wouldn’t he judge it? That’s the point of a damn review.
I just beat Turok 2 recently, and I gotta say, it's freaking awesome. Though, I did play it on the N64, not the PC.
I Finish him on N64 and i tried on PC and its there is ways more challange on N64 (but still awesome even on the PC)
Douglas PRATS Wonder why that is.
@@RatchetandSly the controller most def
I absolutely love this game. It was my first FPS and I still go back to it every now and then. Funny thing, I only play this game with Infinite Ammo and All Weapons. It's less of a challenge, but still fun as hell! Great review :D
Holy shit, that first 20 seconds opened a portal back to my childhood with that blue chick and opening narrative. Fuark that was awesome.
Turok 2 is one the best FPS of all time because the huge variety of weapons, huge and beautifull map design and great enemy IA and big variety of monsters. I love this game so much.
It's always a good day when I wake up to one of your videos in my sub box.
I do have to mention there ARE respawning ammo drops that will cycle through all ammo types you currently need
I like Turok 2 EX much more than the original because it fixed a lot of problems with it. Gone is the bow legged walking effect and objectives are now marked within a vicinity so you have better clarity on where to go next. Finally, besides pushing the fog back, there are texture mods like one using GAN to quadruple the texture detail. Makes a huge difference.
My only gripe with the game is that some of the levels reuse textures too much and ends up looking way too samey so I get lost in the enormous levels. That kind of ruins the fun a bit. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that because it truely is my only gripe. Outside of that it’s better than the N64 and PC release in every possible way.
I never completed even single level, didnt even get to the boss. I was stupid.
Turok 2's enemy variety, animations, and art direction still hold up better than most current games. And please don't forget the fantastic soundtrack - Port of Adia is a classic. You can cry nostalgia, but I can tell you went in this review desperately looking for small points anyone could chip off of a great game. No offense to Unreal or Goldeneye, but Turok 2 has itiment violence and remarkable gunplay that those other games cannot satisfy. And yes, I enjoy how the game forces you to conserve ammo. Your suppose to be a Native American badass - not some little COD toddler. Just my opinion.
I suppose I'm just agravated as a fps fan that every smark gamer wants to try to bury this game for some of the most obnoxious reasons.
I played this last summer and I loved it. And I think it's a great game! In some aspects, I would even say that it was ahead of it's time. Wasn't it inspired by 2D games such as Metroid and Blaster Master with those maze-like level designs?
another great review; love your stuff!
I love this game, I do remember the game being very stingy with the ammo but I'm pretty sure they where trying to get you to use the bow to one shot snipe enemies from a far as sniper rifles where a brand new thing at the time, also you may not have notice but ammo and health respawns at certain points on the map, there was a audio cue when this happens this happens in most of the large areas so you're never really that far from it, after a while you do get a back pack much like doom that allows for more ammo to be carried and it's only really in the first stage or so that this is an issues if you want to call it that, but I think it gave the game more of a survival feel that along with only having a few save points added to the experience. Save points felt like base camps which I feel is the direction this game series should have moved in.
Turok 2 Seed of Evil is still the best Turok game, just because the ammo capacity is low, you have replenish your ammo by waiting for ammo to show up at a spot or going to Adon. Once the remastered version of Turok 2 comes out I'm gonna beat the carp out of that game. Cause I know the whole game.
You could have probably looked around the settings before making most of the complaints. For example, the damage and aim is crippled if autoaim is on (Which is clearly the case, seeing the footage from you.). Not to mention, you also seem to not know how gun play works, you ought to play on easy mode. The framerate issues are also easily fixed, but you would only know that if you didn't pirate the PC version of the game (There is a command switch which can fix it, you can also use a glide wrapper to furthermore improve it). Saying the controls are poor is actually both correct and wrong; the controls are quite smooth, I have never had an issue, you just suck I guess; BUT, if your framerate is > your refresh rate (Aka you set the in game framerate limit to infinity and the glide wrapper framerate to infinity) the game will only detect input 68 frames per second, for some reason. There should also be no confusion, since the game has by far my favorite map system, which can by default can be enabled by middle mouse. You also had an issue with ammunition, well, no argument there, you walked by every small room, though I will agree the mag sizes for the guns are interesting. Eh, I won't attack you for completely misinterpreting the story, it's very unclear without the novel and comics. I'm also going to point out that the game looks so good it runs at 12 FPS on the 64.
Oh my, that was TL;DR
If it was on steam, I would buy it! Cant find it though. Only the first.
LaserGadgets its coming to steam soon
Im afraid its "soon", not soon :p
Here link for T2 MP dedicated channel:ruclips.net/channel/UCV1o2BqYDNB_SE_qXr7JGqQvideos So if you, after watching videos, wish to play, here link for files:www110.zippyshare.com/v/GyyjFszM/file.html
Oblivion is actually at hand now, so...
it is on steam now for 20$
Badass Review! i know these types of games aren't the usual cup of tea; and might not happen anytime soon.... BUT i'd love to hear your opinions on Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, and possibly even the Jak & Daxter games :o these were pretty big juggernaut titles when i was growing up and they're even better once beaten 8D
I would like for you to review Sacrifice please. Great vids btw,i just found your channel and im binge watching them right now :D you just got a new sub,keep up the good work.
+Pieman29666 Thanks!
Do you also plan to review the 2008 reboot?
+MrVonSchiller Yes
+MrVonSchiller
Reboot of what?
+pepper Mill Good one.
+pepper Mill Turok, the game running on Unreal Engine.
neothaka oooooooooh.
i remember plating this game as a kid and loving it, i recently popped this game to see how it held up and i honestly i must say i loved and appreciate it even more. this game was so hard no doubt but i felt a sense of accomplishment when i completed the later levels which is something most newer games dont even achieve for me. i will defenitely buy this game as i hear they'll be doing a remaster for pc and xbox.
I cannot wait till u do a turok 3 vid gggman. Best weapon play ever
I swear that Shredder is probably my favorite weapon in video games & that Cerbal Bore is badass
you should review turok 2 once the remaster edition comes on steam,
I hope they fixed some of its problems by that time
we will see lol
+Jamie Williamson was that even announced? Last time I heard about release of T1 remaster and problems with other project - Exhumed/Powerslave, both fan-made and oficial.
yea Night Dive Studios has the rights for turok 1 and 2, the devs said turok 2 will be updated same as turok 1 so it's just a matter of time, also waiting for that system shock remake too.
*****
damn, I still didn't finished SySo1. Dropped somewhere after 2nd level and can't find inspiration for return.
Loved the review! Keep it up!!!
***** Hell yeah, GUNGAGUNGIGUNGA
i played this 2 years ago on an n64 and i found this game better than most fps games made today. 😆
Fresh sub. I don't have time to play all these games but this is the next best thing. Thorough review man, enjoyed it.
Thanks for your sub, bro!
Great review as always!
The only thing you missed is that theres respawning ammo caches to keep your ammo up. However that kinda brings another problem as you camp near those waiting for the ammo to respawn and it kinda brings the game to a halt, and it doesnt fix the low ammo capacity.
Not to mention removing features from the first game like the ammo backpack, armor, and mortal wounds (an item).
I guess in people's mind they mix the good gameplay from the first game with the visual of th second.
turok 1 and 2 were ahead of their time!you never made sense to me at all.you blew hot...then cold.then it was all over the show by a game that was made 18years ago!i loved these games on the n64 and still play them today while my ps4 and xbox1 gathers dust.so to be honest turok may not have been the perfect game,but to me and many others it was close enough!
Good stuff as always mate. Will you consider doing a review for Turok the reboot? I believe it was released in 2008.
I'm honestly glad Turok 1 and 2 got remastered, especially since the remasters really do the games justice.
another good question is how many of those problems have fixes (homebrew or otherwise) available for it?
I would like to mention that the music in turok 1 and 2 is awesome also.
YOU FINALLY DID IT JUST LIKE I ASKED :')
I LOVE YOU.
great review my man.
You didn't noticed some ammo (and health) spawning points that, after a few minutes, filled up all your ammo?
Right on with your review. It was a really cool game in 1998 on N64, but it was really hard to do simple things, like aim.
The box came with a mini comic, in which Joshua Fireseed (a direct descendant of Tal Set from the first game) is a normal college student who has been out too late partying and when Aidon summons him all of a sudden to fulfill his ancestral legacy of saving the world from aliens, he's massively hung over.
That, I think, is why this game feels too difficult at times. You literally are being handicapped, because poor Joshua got wasted the night before he had to save Earth.
Joshua Fireseed, that cracked me up! Can't wait for the remaster.
One of my all time favourites, though I never did complete it. I would pick this up now, but instead I'll wait for Night Dive Studios remastered version to come out.
Darkwatch would be a nice review.
will you review the other turok (the third, evolution and the remake of 2008)?
I can quote that opening word for word
Your review of this is pretty much on point. You truly explain what a game is good for but also sees what many people fail to notice. I'm one of those people who can find those issues as well. I think Turok 2 was better on the N64 console itself. I heard there is going to be a remastered version for the XBox One and hopefully the PS4.
nope. maybe you missed the ammo spawn point in the levels?
He did
Dude, bear in mind that old games may run perfectly on WinXP and Win7x32 but may fk up on other OS or hardware variants of PCs. In my experience I never had any issues with any of the Turok games on any of the PCs I had. Ive ran it on Win7 x64, Nvidia 9800GT with 4 GB RAM with no problems at all. Keep in mind that sometimes framerates do NOT count on PC power.
Oh and... THIS game is still alive in multiplayer!!!
interesting review, as always)
When I played the night dive studios remaster of Turok 1, I had the same ammo deficiency problem while playing on Hard. Switching it to medium alleviated it though. I'm looking forward to NDS releasing this game but I hope the ammo isn't a problem when it comes out.
a lot of the "bad port" complaints are solvable.
It takes a lot of work and is a huge hassle, but the framerate jumping up and down, as well as wrong colors/textures on explosions can all get fixed if you do enough digging. It will be nice when the remaster gets released because that will fix all the issues i had with the game. Still a good bit of fun.
The music in Turok 2 is so kick ass.
About the enemy dismemberment system, you should check out Chasm: The Rift from 1997. A 3D FPS that had a really well implemented dismemberment system, probably among the first to feature it. You could blow off both arms of some of the enmies leaving them with only a kick for defence.
I loved this game when it came out and I agree with all your points. Hopefully some of the aging problems will be somewhat ironed out with the remaster.
another great review sonny jim
Will you ever review Will Rock ?
+mariqtereza Yes
+Gggmanlives Great,until then i'll just enjoy every other review you do! :)
*+Gggmanlives* how about Kiss: Psycho Circus?
+izvarzone He already did Kiss actually.
I just replayed Serious Sam coop for my annual playthrough and barely remembered playing the Will Rock demo. That and Nitro Family just couldn't scratch the itch that Serious Sam could.
+Derrick Wierzbicki I played Will Rock almost decade ago, got nice menu music (I wanna Rock!), cool guns (M911 and rifle) and levels were cool and not tedious. Plus enemy variety and pisseasy final boss (just stay under feets of Zeus and you'll be safe).
i remember it more dark when i played it on the n64. i guess that way the flare effect looked more cool.
and yes, i get lost looking for a key backtracking on those caverns...
One of my all time favorites.
One thing I have to mention is, yes there is quite problem with ammo BUT there are certain corners of the levels were ammo respawns, maybe you missed that, because you have to wait a few seconds, maybe even 10, each time. Which is also stupid and tedious, and not a good system, but its there, and you can "farm" to stack up your whole arsenal full.
I see that inconsistent damage output/health with the enemies is kinda annoying, but I also liked it for some reason. Has a less videogame-ish feel to it, like a bit more unpredictable. Thats kinda cool. Like when you shoot a bear, you cant say for sure after how many hits he will go down. Either they add in modern games a VERY detailed damage model like "oh, you hit a vital organ in the body, he is dead" or you just kinda randomize it out. But I agree. it varies too much in this game.
What I also like in Turok, what distinguishes it from games like Quake, Doom etc. are the vast levels. Has a total different feel to it. While yeah, you can get easily lost, I somehow love the feel of exploring and fighting in such stages.
Nice review dude :D
Will you do Turok Evolution too?
I just completed this on hardcore, marking my third play through of the remaster. I thought it was super generous with ammo.
The framerate juddering is mainly because on modern PCs the game's framerate isn't throttled correctly (the FPS limiter keeps flickering on and off). If one uses DGVoodoo2, and adds -maxframerate 62 to the command line for Turok 2 it'll fix it, however, it may make certain swimming sections difficult or impossible due to the water flow being tied to framerate. Also, keep in mind that the unstable framerate on modern systems is also what fucks with enemy hitboxes, and can cause the weirdness with enemies taking more hits than usual. It's a game best run on a Slot-1 Pentium 2 400mhz machine with a pair of Voodoo2s, running on Windows 98.
I understand the age of the game holding it back but I still love it. Also, you didn't say anything about the music. My GOD...the music!
I'll have to wait for the steam version to pop up to verify your points. I do remember the ammo being scarce in the original, but hell man, it drove me crazy to see you constantly shooting at enemies who clearly were in their death animations.
Flamer design in Turok 2 was really ahead of its time, it felt like you are really shooting liquid and not puffs of 2D fire.
How'd you get this game to run on a modern system? I remember trying to play the abandon ware version on Turok 1 but it just keept crashing on my Win 8.1 (I know...), but then I saw other people playing it and got really confused...
+Masterchief461 It actually ran fine without having to modify anything.
Really? Hm, that's pretty amazing considering how old games + new computers = shit out of luck 90% of the time.
You know ammo responds quite often if you just wait.
I love you you guys put "R's" at the end of words that end with vowels. like "Iguanar" instead of the way it's actually pronounced "Iguana"
this is the best gaming reviews channel
I never had a serious issue with running out of ammo in this game. There were quite a few places where ammo kept re-spawning and it was simply a matter of waiting a few minutes until all was filled up again.
Surely the limited ammo ceiling could be annoying at times but it really forced you to play around with all weapons and think ahead. which is a good thing in my opinion.
And I definitely died a few time cuz of low ammo troubles. The hit detection was indeed off.
The maze design style of the levels could cause for some frustrating moments especially on the later levels.
Like you, I have never finished the game since I got stuck on the spaceship assembly line. Couldn't puzzle it out what I needed to do.
Now the multiplayer was fun, playing it for hours and hours meeting new people there on deathmatch.
A small but tight community until Jedi Knight came out and we all moved there.
It marked the end of Turok 2's multiplayer.
Oblivionisoutthere
+shaddapforever Yeah I think the biggest issue with this game was the maze like design of the later levels. Well I could even finish Port of Adia (1st level) without cheats. This game also has the worst case of backtracking. But in any case its the first fps I played back in 2001 and have fond memories of it . This is one of the few games that badly needs a remake, just like Doom 4.
lots of complaints, my friend. I remember it was challenging on the n64 but I when I beat it I loved it for that. one of the best games in history (in my opinion)
Only Turok game I ever played. It was either this or CS during school recess. And boy did people complain when the Bore was involved.
played this on the n64 back in the day i loved it.
it was really good at the time never beat it though.
Can't believe you didn't mention the greatest Nintendo 64 FPS, the multiplayer mode of Banjo-Tooie.
Yup, looking at it now. I gotta agree. Bought the remaster for Turok, don't think I will be getting the second one unless they make some serious changes.
Any plan on doing the third game? It was my favorite of the first three games.
Played this game a lot on the n64 back in the day. I don't think we ever actually beat a single level...The multiplayer was a hoot.
Very good review. Imo one should just play the 1st two levels which are insanely well done. Short yeah, but very good. I wait for a steam sale to just to do that.
On the N64 at least I know there are multiple locations where ammo and health with respawn until you're full of both. Especially in the first level and first flesh portal. Completely agree that the Lair of the Blind Ones was the most tedious level. i remember there was one part where I got completely stuck and couldn't even make my way back to a save point so I had to restart from a previous part.
How the hell did you get this thing going on 60fps?
i remember playing this game as a kid amd loving it, i recently poped up my old n64
Using the cheat "infinite ammo" is kind of essential as you said there's just not enough ammo for the weapons
Wonder if they'll fix any of these issues with the remaster
Would you review Turok3 in the future?
oh man those drums gave me goosebumps Everytime
What do you think about the GBC version?
Those were awesome! Duke Nukem Color as well. Some pretty underated shooter/platformers.
I think most people think of this as an N64 game though. I dunno, I've never played a Turok game, but I imagine usually when people talk about it, they're thinking of the N64 game.
So take that into account when talking about the nostalgia factor. As a PC game it may not stack up, but as an N64 game it might.
Like I said, I've never played a Turok game, so I couldn't possibly comment on that, I can only speculate.
good review as always but you could have told a few words about the soundtrack as well. I think seeds of evil has one of the most characteristic playlists of late 90s in gaming
+Yigit K. It's good, but there's better. The Death Marshes for instance is fucking horrid, I had to turn the sound off for that level.
