    I honestly loved this game. The splitscreen, the cheat codes to become a raptor, the jump pads, the black hole grenade thing, the button on splitscreen map that made the Raptors come out and the ladders disappear. It's honestly one of my childhood favorites that my brothers and I sunk countless hours into. Wish they would recreate and revitalize this franchise. Nothing but nostalgia for me.

    I had Turok: Evolution as a kid, and even back then I knew it had issues but I still liked it. It set me up with a love for Lost Land type settings where there is a strange mix of primitive and futuristic, magic and technology. I've even used Turok for a DnD setting, which worked out great!
    Something the video didn't go over was how the whole series was rooted in an adventure pulp comic from the 50's about two native american boys who get lost in a hidden valley where dinosaurs never died out. The Escape from Lost Valley game is based off the original comic, which is why it's so different than what people got used to.

    Turok: Evolution was mine and my dad’s favorite game. It was his first 3D video game and my first foray into brutal dismemberment. He loved it so much would even come in when I wasn’t around and ended up beating the single player campaign multiple times. Whenever we were together he and I bounced between the multiplayer mode and pass-and-play single player for *hours*. Sure the game was Acclaim’s own self-sacrificial trash fire, but it’s so incredibly special to me for all the memories with my dad.

      I was stuck on that level for fucking WEEKS if not at least a MONTH!
      Between it and the flying level where you had to shoot into this..generator thing, I was so angry. Thankfully the latter was followed by what I concider my favorite part of the game, where you have allies of your own.
      I uh..Tended to shoot them for the fun of it. I may have enjoyed the dismemberment a bit too much, and it might explain why things had a habit of getting a bit harder.
      What I DIDN'T like was the fact that the game arbitarily tok some of your weapons from you when you entered a new chapter/level! It just tok your pistol/SNiper Rifle from you after chapter 3! WHY?! And the normal bow, too, which was honestly WAY more powerful than the Tekbow!

      i tried my best to like turok evolution with all due respect but i really don't deep down, as far as enemies go i saw nothing new or creative, those skinny slegs and those other THICC slegs with shotguns make up like 95% of the enemies, turok 1 and 3 had great terrifying enemies i will never forget, (not a fan of T2 at all btw) they really rushed with evolution, every weapon is so lifeless, what happend to the MAG 60? why did they replace the badass grenade launcher with a handheld stupid grenade? where is the automatic shotgun? where are the red shotgun bullets? where is an assault rifle like every previous turok had? and what's up with the stupid bird levels? one chapter would be fine but the rest of 1/3 of the game are bird levels, not to mention no real boss fights smh, just a dude with a little more health, evolution needed a hell of a lot work!

      I'm fine with that, the problem is Bruckner did very little as a villain for Turok. He only appears three times in the game. Two of which are in cutscenes, one at the beginning when Tal-Set and he get teleported to the Shadowlands. You then see him again after freeing the Wiseman from prison and escaping. Finally you encounter him at the end of the game for a final fight which is really easy. Bruckner needed to have more of an impact but does nothing. Given he's a Confederate, it would've been awesome to have him antagonise Tal throughout the game.
      The only villain you hear about in Evolution is Tyrannus who was clearly meant to appear in the sequel after you defeat his army and the Juggernaut.

    Turok Evolution was the first Turok game that I was introduced to when i was around 11 years old on the PS2. Despite all the negative talks about the game, I had fun.
    Along with my brothers, we would get up early in the morning on the weekends just to play this game, blasting through every dino mutants we see. We always get so hyped to find out that all the weapons had secondary fire modes, especially the one where the weapon turns into a triple barreled gatling gun. We'll also try to one up each other during the flight levels to see who can fly through the canyons without crashing.
    We didn't care why the dinos can shoot back. We didn't care if the big baddie is some plain old guy. All we had was plain fun blasting through each levels and replaying them. Our little brother who was just around 7 years old would also want to join in but since it is a little too violent, we always went to the codes area and typed "zoo", which teleports us to an area where they hold all the creatures in the game like a zoo. He would love to always jump into the enclosures and look at the dinosaurs and animals up close. Luckily he didn't know how to switch the weapons or attack yet or he'll be traumatised.
    All in all, we had fun. This game brought back memories of staying up late and enjoying a fun day plaing video games with my brothers. Was smiling the whole time just watching the gameplay footage again.

    This was my first fps game ever and a game that my dad and I played together a lot. I was so uses to evolutions style of gameplay that looking at the previous games made me uninterested in them thinking it just wasn't as good as evolution. I had fun with the multiplayer with friends and cheat codes. I remember looking at the back of the cover and seeing an enemy I still can not tell who it is the reticle was looking at. The disc was the best looking piece of art of the Tal'set in black and white. It's really sick look it up, the one on GameCube. idk what it looks like on others but I assume it's the same. I bought the turok remasters on switch but the nostalgia evolution still bugged me. This game means deeply to me and hearing anyone talk about turok makes me smile c:
    Maybe one day a new turok game will come out that sees the vision of evolution. Hell a doom style revival would be sick or nightwolf having a Tal'set skin in mk11 as a reference to acclaim publishing both MK and turok will would be sick.

      The only common thing is the dinosaurs lol. Turok is more like 007, perfect dark, or time splitters for the era. The game you talking about is more like old school resident evils.

      Dino Crisis NEEDS a RE2R/RE7 style remake.

    This game was awesome, I remember me and my friend as kids would play this all the time, it was really fun!

    Loved Turok Evolution! As a kid me and my sisters and my neighbors would play against each other everyday, all day! XD

    Maybe something about the Wii U tittle "Lost Reavers"? Probably not that interesting, but that thing came and went.
