How BAD is Turok?

Is it worth $2 preplayed? Because the one on N64 seemed pretty fun.

What's everyone's gripe with it?

Just get it. It might be worth $2. It just has dated graphics, horrible clipping with the environment and weird walls made of plants that basically make the game very linear by limiting exploration. Enjoy. Oh, and keep in mind I was being overly nice to the game.

Take a shit into your hands and try to wash the smell off.

It's the same thing.

I don't think it's *that* bad. I've been playing FPS for years and it's definitely not the worst. The first few stages are probably the most boring, but the game really does pick up later in the game. Yes, the flying stages are as bad as people say, but the rest of the game really isn't all that horrible.

Exactly how much entertainment is $2 worth to you?

I'm just curious as to exactly how much entertainment a video game must offer to be worthy of a lousy $2 investment, in your opinion. If only the cream of the crop (at $20, $30, $40 or even $50 a pop) is worth buying in your opinion, then I can't imagine your gaming dollars stretch very far. Sometimes an average or even below average game can be a good investment on a per cost basis, and since we're talking a complete game for a mere $2, your standards appear a bit high.

I tried to give the poor game a chance. I tried it thinking "It can't really be all that bad, can it?" Well I should have listened to what everybody was saying.

The thing is, I can't really even put my finger on what makes it so bad. I just really did not enjoy any of the time I spent with it.

For $2, I'd say go for it. If nothing else, you can have a good time making fun of it.

it's definately worth $2... (almost any game is). It's nowhere near as good as the N64 turok games, but it's very enjoyable later on in the game (the first few levels suck). I thoroughly enjoyed playing it, especially since I got it very cheap.

Keep in mind that a game costs time as well as money. If a game is really bad, I'm not going to want to play it even if it's free. Why waste your time on a bad game when you could be playing a good game instead?

And I haven't played Turok so I can't comment on it.

Eh, the more games I have on my shelf the better. "Padding" for $2 isn't that bad!

I bought this game for $6-7 at the KB sale, and I really don't think its that bad, like WSB said. For $2 its a steal.

Get some buddies along and try the deathmatch/Turokmatch. Its not any good, but its funny as hell. It's 2 bucks for Cheapy's sake... you're paying for a gaming experience, not some life-changing miracle. For a unique experience, its worth it in my opinion.

i rented the game I thought it was a solid fps untill i got to the flying missions.........first flying mission and i shut it off and returned it.

first stage while linear arent all that bad overall i think the games down fall was that it seemed like they got the game 80% done then just released it
