I owned the original game back when it was released in 1997 on the n64 and I beat it,but I only remember bits and pieces of it now. I do remember loving this game and playing it alot. Started playing the remaster on the switch,and it actually does look pretty good. All the character models are the same but they spruced up the clarity,and most of the Fog is gone,and this is one thing that really changes the game,and actually makes it more difficult! Before, whatever the fog obscured,blocked the enemies' vision as well. Now... fuck...! These are MASSIVE open levels,and now the enemies can see you from a hundred feet away and shoot at you w perfect aim!
The graphics look damned good on the switch and it moves fast as fuck,like the old game on cocaine...although as of yet,I've not put it on the big screen. The game is alot of fun and plays alot like Doom,but with WAY more exploration. The enemies constantly respawn which keeps the high stakes gameplay super hectic,but sometimes you just have to avoid fighting because the ammo in this game is pretty sparse,and your health is constantly being wittled down by guys taking pot shots at you from really far away. Dying in this game is a big fuckin deal. It can set you back alot.
I got all three Turok remasters,but I'm trying to play them one at a time. The in game map in this game is of very little help cos you can only see the part of the map your actually on,and not the rest of the level,and the stages are like humongous hour long affairs,if you lose what very little amount of lives your given,the game is over,and theres maybe 2 checkpoints and savepoints in the entire level,so its very easy to lose alot of progress when you die.
I mean LOOK at these fuckin maps!
I still reccomend this for people who lookin for hi octane aggressive shooter gaming mixed in with alot of exploration.
Like the original there is alot of amazing cheats in this game,but i'm trying not to fuck w that and am playing the game proper. I beat it back then,but the lack of fog,really makes it alot harder,as you do get cheap shotted by stuff you simply couldnt avoid because of the constant and seemingly random respawn times of some of the enemies using long range weapons. Any other Turok fans from back in the fuckin day?
