"Turok pissed us off a lot, but ultimately it's a decent shooter with a few elements that are completely awesome and a rampaging difficulty curve. The "stealth" kill animations that play when using the combat knife at close range are excellently satisfying the first ten times you see them, but lose a bit of their luster after you get assaulted by four raptors and get the same forehead-skewering animation four times in a row. Still, when taken in small doses, Turok is brutally and bloodily entertaining. In a way it's almost a casual game, easy to pick up but even easier to put down (and also easy to pick up again once your furious ire has subsided).

One GameSpy Editor was so incensed by repeated failed attempts to beat that stupid eel monster that he stomped on the floor of his cubical so hard that it scared nearby Sterling McGarvey to the point that he dove under his desk fearing one of Northern California's infamous earthquakes. So despite the few things that Turok does amazingly right, we have a hard time really enjoying it considering the maddening problems that continue to frustrate us. Given the number of superb FPS titles available (most notably our own Game of the Year: Call of Duty 4), we can't see picking up a copy of Turok unless we were really hard up for a first-person fix."
