rage wars is my favorite game in the series

evolution is a fascinating look into how not to program your game, snipers regularly run off cliffs to melee you and you can climb walls in a manner that would make a bethesda programmer scoff

That makes it quite possibly the greatest weapon to piss off your friends with in multiplayer. Their anger knows no bounds. (That's why it's called "Rage Wars").

1: can't switch out your weapon while it's in the air or it explodes

2: it takes a long time to hit the target.

So it's a weapon that insta kills 1 enemy but forces you to not shoot until it's done.

So it's even less useful than I thought.

Turok: Evolution on GBA is pretty good, though.

Oh that's right turok 2 had a lives system, weird choice but excuse to put little floating guidance "coins" all over the levels.
there was a nintendo power contest where the winner had his face planted all over them if you put in a cheat code

First post had the image from the Turok 64 kart, voted 5.

Also I hated Turok at first then later I played through it in a dry spell one time and it was pretty ok and had some nifty ideas, and I enjoyed the old Valiant comics.

dinosaur hunter is probably the best gameplay of the series, but man 2 pretty much has the best animated enemy deaths ever

3 was also really visually impressive for the time but it was weird

At that point you're supposed to be good at the game, it's not a very hard boss.

only bad thing with the final boss in 2 that i remember is that you have to aim at specific body parts like his antennas when they glowed which was kind of a pain since n64 fps controls suck rear end

my friends and I hung out late at night smoking weed and staying up on school nights and playing turok64 with the cheat where everything is in slow motion and flashing lights and it was a real good use of our time

Using the nuke on everything was pretty loving rad. especially when you used it to hunt wild game, like deers, boars, and monkeys. Need those sweet, sweet +2 health packs, y'all

rage wars has the best weapon set in the series + is a fun as hell game in multiplayer

inflator was a one shot kill if you charged it, so was the emancipator, and both looked cool

you could play as a raptor or a swarm of mites and both had campaign modes

I unironically liked the Turok reboot. Shame it's never going to get a sequel b/c the concept art was hella cool

ppl always talk about the bore but the tek bow was a really satisfying weapon. gears of war ripped it off and it felt great there too. somethin about that delayed explosion + gibs is really good and nice

i hope they make another turok game, but not like the one that was released on the ps3 and 360 that had nothing to do with the comic books. i would like to see more great storylines from the comics see the light of day again through video games. like that time turok and andar went to jail:

i own this and a whole host of other turok comics and i was really confused when they rebooted it when valiant was bought out

valiant comics were rebooted recently but they don't have the turok ip anymore

lots of people make fun of turok 2 and say how bad it was but i thought it was decent for th etime
