Remember the old games on the N64 where you had to blast the crap out of dinosaurs and use a bow kill things from far away? Remember Turok?
The first Turok installment on the next-gen console got a nice rating: a 7/10.

One of the biggest update with the game is the "Sticky bomb gun". Whatever target you want, fire at it, and then pull the trigger to let it explode.

The bow has improved to be a nice killer in this game, the review said that the main character is now able to pick off two guards without them even noticing.

Just like old times.

Secondary fire is a big part of gunplay in Turok. The sticky bomb gun is my favorite because of its standard fire mode -- pull the trigger to launch a bomb that sticks to whatever it touches and pull the trigger again to detonate the device -- but the secondary option of a mini minefield is a brilliant touch -- the same can be said for the shotgun's flare launcher and the SMG's silencer.

Towards the end of the game, I was making a solo attack on one of Kane's bases, and the weapon gods were good to me once again. Able to infiltrate the front door undetected, I drew back on my bow and iced two guards before they knew Turok was on the scene. If you haven't caught our videos of this game, the bow is a sick silent killer. You draw back the arrow and then line up your shot with the crosshairs. The longer you hold the trigger down, the harder Turok's pulling on the string. If you let it go with enough force, the arrow will basically staple the bad guy to the nearest wall. Nice.

    It guess it deserved a 7. in my opinion, if the demo is exactly like the final version, I would rate it a 6 at best.

    Wow is that for both versions, sounds like a bad game to be honest.

      Is this for both versions, getting lower score. Damn why do people rate it lower than what it should be, stupid Reviewers.

    I wasn't really impressed with the demo, but who knows, the game itself might change my mind, I'll buy it online when I get the chance.

    Yeah the game seems pretty mediocre. and kinda like it was going to be repetative.

    I didn't like the game too much tbh. Not my type of game. 7 seems about right.
