I'm not too fond of getting caught up with blasting through enemies with cool weapons, only to get stuck because I didn't look through every possible corner for key items, since they aren't hidden in the most interesting locales behind interesting challenges, but ratherbehind some corners that are easy to pass by. However going through the levels systematically is the name of the game, just doesn't happen to be my cup of tea. However the action, the atmosphere, the weapons, all the core aspects of a shooter check out for me and help me bear a bit of halting to look around for some hidden corridors and soon enough you build up an instinct for those. I guess a bit more dinosaurs in quantity and variety would have been nice, because you encounter surprinsingly little of those, less than you'd expect from a game subtitled "Dinosaur Hunter"

Excellent jeu qui a marqué mon enfance! Même si les niveaux sont plutôt longs car les maps sont très vastes, on s'y retrouve plutôt bien contrairement à dans Turok 2 que je trouve parfois trop labyrintique. La musique aussi très bonne! Le choix des armes est grand.

Perhaps a bit easier than it was ever meant to be on Switch, nonetheless a burst of non-stop fun, with one of the best game scores I've ever heard.

First person shooter that's not without its flaws - the lookspring which cannot be turned off makes judging jumps and shots with up-close enemies overly fiddly and the save points are too few and far between - but it's certainly fun to play.

Invented an entirely different (and effective) control scheme for shooters on an N64 controller. Aside from that, this is a masterpiece ****.

Really has not aged well but the gameplay and music are a very positive factor.

It is a good game but the comparisons are odious especially with the competition of perfect dark or goldeneye as first person shooters. However, despite having the difference of dinosaurs, a good game after all.

I loved this game so much and I am still waiting for a game to capture the same type of atmosphere this game did back in the day with limited resources.

This game deserves 11 out of 10 but I can't do more, so I can only give a 10. I love the weapons and graphics;although, some people who are bad at it say the levels are too hard. To me the levels are fine and not too confusing since I have a pretty good memory. I still have this awesome game, and wish that more games would follow this example. If you see a negative review they are probably wrong. A lot of people that I know also like this game, so if you haven't tried it, go ahead and try it today! I am almost certain you will like it!

All i have to say is if you want a fun shooter that is adventure and B.C. like.Then this game is really for you and should be on **** you're not used to the c-buttons being that you move then maybe **** game has one flaw but other than that this game is awesome! There is no loading time and it is fast paste and adventurous in all means this is a buy!

This is the oldest FPS I have ever played. From what I have played, it is pretty cool, with some clever gameplay. The only problems are the awkward and extremely diffucult controls and the camera, which slightly hurts the experience.

Its a great FPS for its time the AI is really stupid but you will be playing the game due to its silliness. The game also doesnt really have music but sounds that make you feel like you are there. Graphics are just funny to look at I really recommend this game the price is about a dollar now.

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. It was the first FPS I owned on the Nintendo 64, and I just loved it. The setting of it was great, exploring the jungle, climbing through ancient ruins, wandering through caves and underwater passages, it's just great. I definitely logged more hours with this game than any other, even after Goldeneye came around a few months later, this was still my favorite FPS on the N64. But just because I'm having a blast of nostalgia doesn't mean that everything I have to say about this game is necessarily a good thing. Its one of the best games on the Nintendo 64, but it still has its flaws. Some very obvious, others not so significant. First off, Turok... is hard. It has a very fair difficulty curve, but the majority of the game requires the player to wander aimlessly through a landscape that usually has a whole jumble of paths that lead to areas very far away, often leading to nowhere important or the player comes to find out that they cannot proceed without having pressed a button or switch somewhere else. Each level contains multiple artifacts that the player must collect in order to access other maps, which means that there are many different locations the player must go through to get them, and they will most likely have to play the level again multiple times in order to get the rest. Every time a level is restarted, all enemies, puzzles, doors, and items are reset. So you have to kill everything ALL OVER again, hit all the buttons ALL OVER again, etc. It can be very tedious at times, especially if one gets lost, which is guaranteed to happen many, many times. Getting lost in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is extremely frustrating due to the extreme case of multiple-path syndrome that Turok is notorious for, and can also be very deadly: Every enemy you kill re-spawns a short time later. Meaning, you can never actually kill an enemy permanently, regardless if you leave the level or not. They just keep coming and coming. If you get lost, and end up in areas you've already been, there's a very good chance everything you just killed in that room is back again, ready to blow you away just as it did the last 5 or 6 times you passed through. The first few times you play Turok, it's can be daunting. But once you get the game nailed down, it's very enjoyable. It has very good length and and lots of re-playability. Lots of secrets to find, lost of hidden areas to explore, just overall a good time no mater how many times you play it. It's a classic, a staple game for the Nintendo 64 that should be in everyone's collection.
