I downloaded the Turok demo on my PS3 and I thought that is was more than mediocre, but nothing special. I have to rent this game first before I can consider buying it.
it's crazy fast paced. The kills kinda have that half life 2 feeling to it. The enemies look and talk (to you and eachother) and make the same kinda dying noises just like half life 2 enemies. I like the bow and arrow. I head-shot an enemy from mid-range, without him noticing me, with one of my arrows, with the arrow going through his skull and into a wall, clipping his head onto the wall as he dropped his gun with his body hanging.
But the game plays alot like Gears of War. They even act and talk like the gears of wars characters.
I can't wait to see more guns, my most fav aspect of the game.

Not really, some of the Dinos are fodder, but a group of Raptors or Baby Rex's can easily mess you up. As can a couple Dilopwhateversaurus'. Don't even get me started on the T-Rex.
I'm on the last leader; that huge T-Rex. I was battling him all night till i couldn't play anymore. went to bed at 2:30am when i had to get up at 7am for work. i exhausted now, hehe.
I tried everything. I've tried distracting it by shooting flares past him, (it does look at/ follow them) i've shot it with bazookas, that rocket launcher turret, i've blasted it in the face with fast shotgun bursts, i've blown up huge stacks of toxic barrels with my grenades while it stood or ran next to them and all, all that's done is trip him a little.
He's too fast, and it's just walking, lol. Like it walks faster that i run. I'll get him today after work. I'll have more energy then.
I'll kill it today. So help me i don't care if it takes me the rest of the day i'm gonna kill it today.
haha

Pick up the shotgun and use the flares to distract her even if you shoot it about 20-30 meters away she will follow then use the rocket turret fire about 5-6 shots when she get's close use the flares again to distract her and run over to the other turret do this until she dies.....
I'm sorry man but this method ain't working. I tried it step by step and it hasn't done anything. I've hit her 12 times with the rocket turret and nothing.
I'll keep trying but my goal was to kill him before the sarah conner chronicles 2 hr finale came on tonight.
Time for a yohoo then back to the battle.

Just killed her, and beat the game. I inserted a grenade deep in her eye socket while she was down and she got up in excruciating pain and a beep later the top of her skull exploded off, with blood raining on me for like 5 seconds. As Marcus Fenix would say: "Sweeeet."
But you must've played on easy cause it took more than just shooting her down with the rocket turret. You had to walk up to her, while she was flailing still causing me damage.
I dunno. I played the game on the hardest possible level all the way through. Maybe that's why.
Either way the game satisfied me. i give it a 8/10. My problems were a lack of map and good save points and lack of gun innovation. Would've been nice to have the cerebral bore. Maybe next time.
Peace.

My only problem is the lack of supercoolio weapons and less variety of enemies.
I killed Rex by getting the RPG and Shotgun, flaring and shooting, then restock on RPG and do it again, then I got the little mine gun, and that killed her.
On every difficulty you have to walk up to her to do the "finishing" RT move.......
Also it took me more then 12 shots from the turret and still that's the easiest way....

I had a lot of fun with this game for the first few hours, but then it became tedious and ultra repetitive. My two biggest complaints about this game are the stealth aspect and the disposable dinosaurs.
The game does not require you to be stealthy, however, it constantly invites and suggests that you play stealthily. The game offers stealth and the controls are tight, but the game is not designed as a stealth game. as a hunter it is neat to stalk your prey through the tall weeds, but spotting your enemies in the high grass becomes a game of luck. When you are in corridors trying to stalk baddies, you may be waiting around a corner waiting for the enemy to come around so you can dispatch them, but there is nothing in the game that gives you an advantage in warning you of approaching enemies. The music effects have slight sounds which resemble footsteps, so dont rely on sound or peering around corners. The biggest problem with playing this game stealthily is the checkpoint system. The checkpoints are spread out to far. You may spend ten to fifteen minutes on one section only to make a mistake and have to replay the entire area over. With this said it is rewarding when you are able to clear an area taking down a platoon of enemies with nothing but your knife.
The dinosaurs almost seem like a gimmick or after thought in this game. Their animations are very well done...,i have no complaints with the designs because they are great. There was no point in the game though, that i was ever concerned when confronted by a dinosaur. Not even the T-rex offered any tyoe of threat in the game. I did not die once from dinosaur attacks through out the entire game. Although, it is very rewarding to knife the dino's to death, they just do not offer any type of challenge or threat. Being a Turok game this is almost disappointing.
The game is definitely worth playing. The Graphics are very good. The voice acting and dialogue is aces. The controls are tight with a few glaring problems. The biggest problem is the balance of difficulty. If you choose to run and gun, this game offers NO difficulty at all. You can merely plow through enemies with duel SMG's and not break a sweat. If you choose to be a sam fischer, you will get very sick of this game very quickly.
