"Turok Evolution"

So whose getting this next week ? :-) I'll be getting it and from what I've seen it looks good so far. The E3 DVD shows some nice footage of it and whats in the game. That swarm bore weapon looks pretty tasty - having played the other games I have fond memories who I killed with the old version of that weapon. ;-)

Thing is, I keep thinking how good it would have been if a little extra was included in the game. What I would have loved to have seen is a dinosaur hunting mode - no cyborgs or evil bad guys, just a mode where you can sit back, hunt and even take trophies (skulls or claws maybe ?)
The idea of the bushes and stuff moving and making noise is great, so a hunting mode could be excellent. :-)

I know you can go around killing normal dinosaurs in Evolution, but this would be even better as far as the hunting goes. Maybe even a Co-Op mode where 2 players can have a screen each or something and just roam around trying to kill a bigger T-Rex than they've bagged before.
Thats where the trophies could come in - you could display your biggest kills of each breed just like you get records in fishing games and stuff.

I think it'd add some longevity - especially when things can turn around and your soon having to leg it from a pack of raptors. ;-)

is there a multiplayer option to the new Turok?

seems decent

I hope the game does last longer than the first 3, it only took a few days to complete them all. It took longer to save a level than it did to complete one i found.

It doesnt really matter to me if it runs out too quickly or its not as good as i expected, cos i won it in a tournement on the night before the release. So even if it doesnt provide me with outstounding entertainment at least i wont feel sour about spending any money on it.

I also won a Turok Evolution t-shirt aswell if anyone wants to buy it off me. Should be worth something to someone.

So far the games been pretty good. I dont really like the flying levels as much as i thought i would. It is funny when you smash into a rck or summin and your bird/dinosaur splatters into 100's of pieces.

Sniping is fun especially when you knock the gun out of their hand and watch as they cowarly fall on their knees whilst you charge up one huge swing with your club and cut their arm off.

Wow, its a pretty big game then. Guess I'll go back to it now and get offline for awhile. ;-))

My mate brought round his copy, and we did the level select cheat. There are 15 levels altogether.

Just make sure theres a game you wanna change it for thats within the 10 days though. ;-)

Might buy it and abuse the eb 10 day thing :P

Its a very up and down game. One moment you'll feel you've bought an average game, the next, things will perk up a little.
The first 2 levels are cack, but it improves a little from there with the exception of the fortress you go into in chapter 4.

With the FPS games coming to X-Box, I can't see this being much competition to them, so unless you have the cash to spend without regrets, then you might want to wait for something else.

is it underwhelming?

Its not bad, but its not worth getting if your on limited funds as there are games that are a lot better coming out over the next few weeks.
