What is truly amazing with this game is how trivial it looks and how fast it generates a feeling of "been there - done that". Yes, even if someone is new to the TUROK series - and I am not: I came with high expectations.
Graphically the game is beautiful yet not very original - and I for one did not appreciate the ever present darkness...The designers probably aimed for atmospheric terror but they obviously overshot their mark. Apples and oranges, but Hitchcock always had his terrors well lit - and that made them unforgettable. There are quite a few cheap shots in this area.
The dinosaurs are, well, ...JurassicPark-realistic (honestly, seen any real-life dinosaur lately?), whereas their growls and high-pitched pack-hunting sounds will keep raising the hairs in the back of your head no matter how many times encountered.
The occasional sidekick's AI is neither brilliant nor disastrous. At least it is not a burden (remember DAIKATANA anyone?). I liked the weapons, both the realistic and

Yes, this game does feature a pretty forgettable story and standard FPS gameplay but it does feature dinosaurs as well. So that's 2 strikes and a single or more depending on your level of fascination with dinos. But really is there more than about 5-7 games across genres newly released at any one time that do have non standard stories or gameplay? Doom 3 doesn't feel too much different than this in terms of story(without the horror) but the graphics were next gen for it during it's time although it got old real quick.
99% of games are never worth retail these days and I pity those console suckers who pay the hefty $60 per game and around $350 for the "mid-range" console. Of course I envy them mightily for GTA4!
This game is not worth more than about $25 or half it's PC msrp. The jungle textures are pretty lame on average but I thought the dinos and people were pretty respectable. I never had any crashes and it loaded up at a decent rate. I use the auto save at checkpoints, which seemed

The $50 I shelled out for this game was a total waste of money. The graphics are mediocre (I'm running an Nvidia 8800 GTS, so it's not my card). Gameplay is lame, and there are bugs. The main one is the in-game Save key(F5) doesn't work. I tried re-mapping the key, but it didn't help. Gameplay is choppy. I ran CRYSIS and BIOSHOCK with no problems. Pass this one by.
