Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

The Good
- Turok is filled with pure unadulterated, Doom-like fun. Shooting dinosaurs and bad guys is just a blast, and keeps you pumped up.

• For 1997, the graphics in this game are excellent. At the time, most first-person shooters were Doom clones. There was Quake, but that was only on the PC when Turok was released.

• The atmosphere in this game is excellent, and so is the music. You really do get the "jungle" feeling.

• You are a magical Native American who yells "I AM TUROK!" Can we just appreciate that?
  
  The Bad
  - The platforming segments in this game are often tedious to play. This is because, in my opinion, controls for first-person shooters on the N64 are dated and a little difficult to work easily, and makes it hard to platform freely.

• Fog effects everywhere!

• Boss battles, or just battles against bigger enemies, are a little underwhelming.

• Not a complaint from me, but the game is very repetitive. This is fine by me, and actually adds to the fun in my opinion, but I can definitely see why others would find this to be a problem.
  
  The Bottom Line
  Turok is just a fun game. It delivers fast action, and more importantly, dinosaurs. No, it's not perfect, but it's still a pretty enjoyable game.
