You made many fair observations during your review, but your statement about ammunition being insuficient is just not true. Every level has MANY ammunition and health spawning points, which will keep feeding you items until you are 100% healed and equipped. Also, i don't think you understood how to use some of the weapons. Around the 5 minute mark you waste like 5 shells fighting an enemy at medium range. Turok's shotgun is clearly meant to be used point blank, because it sucks otherwise. What im trying to say here, is that every weapon has a precise use, and it may be up to the player to find when and where to use them, and in the end, that may be the reason for low ammo capacity. If every weapon had a 100 ammo capacity like quake, having 24 weapons would be redundant, because you could simply stick to a powerful gun like the shredder throughout the whole game. By reducing the ammo capacity but also giving you over 20 weapons, the game is more about knowing the weapons and when to use them, and less about trigger-happy approaches. Turok 2 does a fantastic job at balancing the guns, altough there are a couple of useless weapons, such as the tranquiliser and the mine layer. Anyways, I really enjoyed your review. Am I nostalgia blinded? Maybe, I don’t know. Turok 2 is a game a come back to every 2 years or so, and I never had any ammo problems. Cheers!

I'm a bit late to the party but I'd like to add that the weapons also do a different amount of damage depending on the enemy. Those big sword guys with the funny round face-thing in the swamp will take multiple shredder or shotgun rounds to the face, but a tek arrow will one-shot them, and you don't even have to aim except for "hit any part of their body".

Yeah, was odd. I played T2 recently and used the ammo restock from the save points only twice throughout the whole game, never really had an issue with ammo. The balancing felt just right. And the game did hold up. Just depends how you feel about huge mazes that are twice or thrice as large as any doom map. Personally, I love it. Though it could have used better visual signposting in some spots. As for gggman saying it's not hard...of course it's not with unrestrictive saving. On the N64 the game was brutal, mostly in a good way.

Some enemies also drop ammo in the later levels. This encourages you to use weapons in interesting combinations. In level 6 I remember enemies dropping charge darts and plasma rounds, so I found myself stunning enemies and then shooting them point blank with shotgun or even war blade. In level 4 I used tek bow, plasma rifle (to pick off distant crossbow enemies), and flamethrower more so than in other levels. In level 3 the shotgun and mag 60 were my best friends. Levels 1 and 2 were more forgiving and I didn’t feel I had to optimize my weapon usage. And in level 5, man...I just used whatever weapon I ended up selecting in a panic because that level was intense.

About the ammo/ health shortage: There are actual a lot of places where ammo and health keeps respawning ( indicated by aan distinctive audio cue) It however takes around 20 sec. per spawn and you get aan few bullets per spawn and randomly whichever weapon you need ammo for... so to fully stock up on health and ammo could take a few minutes... You complained about ammo stinginess so I guess you never figured that one out?

I remember playing this and having my god damned jaw dropping to the floor, the graphics, the amazing music (still one of the best soundtracks for a game i've ever heard), the weapons, the story, the game play, everything. This is one of the best shooters i've ever played and the memories are strong with this one. I still listen to its soundtrack to this day, years later. And the weapons in this game are still one of the coolest i've ever seen in a shooter. Lets see what they do with the reboot of this one.Thank you for the great review !

I find an important point you missed is that every level has various points where the health and ammo pick ups will regenerate, and they will give whatever ammo you are not maxed on so you can just keep backtracking to those points and camp there for a minute or two till you are all stocked. It does feel like your ammo cap that you can carry around at a time is a bit low, but I just found that this meant I had to be strategic with which weapons to use, and so I found it to add to the tension. The atmosphere in this game was incredible to me at the time on the N64 and I still feel it with the PC remaster. I also didn't have too much issue with the inconsistent damage dealt to enemies, and felt that the game was just very picky on hit detection so if you hit a limb then you could blow it off, but if you hit the torso then it may take more ammo. I do recommend the PC remaster from Nightdive studios. Game works great on Windows 10, and many of the more annoying issues with the game have been fixed. The Maze like levels was very frustrating though, especially in maps like the River of Souls, and the Caves of the Blind ones. With how far apart many of the save points were it really did not help, and if you missed an objective and had to backtrack then that was really frustrating.

Turok 2 Seed of Evil is still the best Turok game, just because the ammo capacity is low, you have replenish your ammo by waiting for ammo to show up at a spot or going to Adon. Once the remastered version of Turok 2 comes out I'm gonna beat the carp out of that game. Cause I know the whole game.

I like Turok 2 EX much more than the original because it fixed a lot of problems with it. Gone is the bow legged walking effect and objectives are now marked within a vicinity so you have better clarity on where to go next. Finally, besides pushing the fog back, there are texture mods like one using GAN to quadruple the texture detail. Makes a huge difference. My only gripe with the game is that some of the levels reuse textures too much and ends up looking way too samey so I get lost in the enormous levels. That kind of ruins the fun a bit. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that because it truely is my only gripe. Outside of that it’s better than the N64 and PC release in every possible way.

I love this game, I do remember the game being very stingy with the ammo but I'm pretty sure they where trying to get you to use the bow to one shot snipe enemies from a far as sniper rifles where a brand new thing at the time, also you may not have notice but ammo and health respawns at certain points on the map, there was a audio cue when this happens this happens in most of the large areas so you're never really that far from it, after a while you do get a back pack much like doom that allows for more ammo to be carried and it's only really in the first stage or so that this is an issues if you want to call it that, but I think it gave the game more of a survival feel that along with only having a few save points added to the experience. Save points felt like base camps which I feel is the direction this game series should have moved in.

The only thing you missed is that theres respawning ammo caches to keep your ammo up. However that kinda brings another problem as you camp near those waiting for the ammo to respawn and it kinda brings the game to a halt, and it doesnt fix the low ammo capacity. Not to mention removing features from the first game like the ammo backpack, armor, and mortal wounds (an item). I guess in people's mind they mix the good gameplay from the first game with the visual of th second.

Turok 2's enemy variety, animations, and art direction still hold up better than most current games. And please don't forget the fantastic soundtrack - Port of Adia is a classic. You can cry nostalgia, but I can tell you went in this review desperately looking for small points anyone could chip off of a great game. No offense to Unreal or Goldeneye, but Turok 2 has itiment violence and remarkable gunplay that those other games cannot satisfy. And yes, I enjoy how the game forces you to conserve ammo. Your suppose to be a Native American badass - not some little COD toddler. Just my opinion. I suppose I'm just agravated as a fps fan that every smark gamer wants to try to bury this game for some of the most obnoxious reasons.

You could have probably looked around the settings before making most of the complaints. For example, the damage and aim is crippled if autoaim is on (Which is clearly the case, seeing the footage from you.). Not to mention, you also seem to not know how gun play works, you ought to play on easy mode. The framerate issues are also easily fixed, but you would only know that if you didn't pirate the PC version of the game (There is a command switch which can fix it, you can also use a glide wrapper to furthermore improve it). Saying the controls are poor is actually both correct and wrong; the controls are quite smooth, I have never had an issue, you just suck I guess; BUT, if your framerate is > your refresh rate (Aka you set the in game framerate limit to infinity and the glide wrapper framerate to infinity) the game will only detect input 68 frames per second, for some reason. There should also be no confusion, since the game has by far my favorite map system, which can by default can be enabled by middle mouse. You also had an issue with ammunition, well, no argument there, you walked by every small room, though I will agree the mag sizes for the guns are interesting. Eh, I won't attack you for completely misinterpreting the story, it's very unclear without the novel and comics. I'm also going to point out that the game looks so good it runs at 12 FPS on the 64. Oh my, that was TL;DR

It will be nice when the remaster gets released because that will fix all the issues i had with the game. Still a good bit of fun.

Right on with your review. It was a really cool game in 1998 on N64, but it was really hard to do simple things, like aim. The box came with a mini comic, in which Joshua Fireseed (a direct descendant of Tal Set from the first game) is a normal college student who has been out too late partying and when Aidon summons him all of a sudden to fulfill his ancestral legacy of saving the world from aliens, he's massively hung over. That, I think, is why this game feels too difficult at times. You literally are being handicapped, because poor Joshua got wasted the night before he had to save Earth.

How'd you get this game to run on a modern system? I remember trying to play the abandon ware version on Turok 1 but it just keept crashing on my Win 8.1 (I know...), but then I saw other people playing it and got really confused...

When I played the night dive studios remaster of Turok 1, I had the same ammo deficiency problem while playing on Hard. Switching it to medium alleviated it though. I'm looking forward to NDS releasing this game but I hope the ammo isn't a problem when it comes out.

Not enough ammo? I'm currently going through my first playthrough of the game (I've played it as a kid, never got passed level 1) And honestly the only reason why you're "missing out on ammo" is because you're back tracking too much. Some area's will just spawn infinite enemies. I think this review could've been different. Thanks for the review though !

turok 1 and 2 were ahead of their time!you never made sense to me at all.you blew hot...then cold.then it was all over the show by a game that was made 18years ago!i loved these games on the n64 and still play them today while my ps4 and xbox1 gathers dust.so to be honest turok may not have been the perfect game,but to me and many others it was close enough!

Your review of this is pretty much on point. You truly explain what a game is good for but also sees what many people fail to notice. I'm one of those people who can find those issues as well. I think Turok 2 was better on the N64 console itself. I heard there is going to be a remastered version for the XBox One and hopefully the PS4.

there are many points in every level where ammo and health will keep respawning until your health and ammo are completely full. You just have to wait around for a bit, which was a little tedious. Also arent maze like levels one of the mainstays of the classic Doom series?

Actually he is right. Came out when there were NO shooters quite like this! The weapons are still unbeatable creative and innovative. The blood looks very plastic and 3D, I was shocked back then! Also the death-sequences. Turok 2 just kicks ass.

It hurts me a little to look at your review because I started playing this one again a couple of weeks ago, I'm currently on the fourth level and although I noticed some of the flaws you mention such as low ammo counts and bad hit detection I still enjoy this game, I just like it, it's not perfect I know, not at all, but I like it cause it holds a special place in my memory, it was one of the first fps games that made me feel like a complete badass and the weapons are so freaking awesome that sometimes I don't care about wasting ammunition (I also tend to decapitate some enemies with the warblade to save ammo...) but still, listening to all what you said here made me realize that this is not the game I always tought it was and that's what makes me sad... No hating here Gman but, you just ruined one of my best memories... Thank you for that...

You make a lot of good points. The people working on the enhancement are pretty ambitious in terms of how many improvements they plan on making. I think they even said that they are making more improvements than Turok 1's enhancement. Do you think the enhanced edition can fix all these issues you mentioned and flesh out the good parts of Turok 2 just as they did with Turok 1?

When I first played this game on the PC, I loved a lot of things about it, but I also found many the flaws which you described to be frustrating. The limitations on ammo pick-ups and the ammo to hold, the draw-distance fog, and confusing design made it all frustrating, particularly in the Lair of the Blind Ones. It's a shame, because I liked the weapon arsenal, the enemies, the music, and the variety of locations. I felt that it really built upon the first Turok as its own experience, yet I felt that Turok 2 felt lacking without the elements I loved in Turok 1. Until the Blind Ones, I enjoyed fighting most enemies with only the wrist blade, and I once was able to defend an Energy Totem with the blade alone. Despite its flaws, I still think Turok 2 serves as a impressive model for a sequel which expands on the original game. It could use Turok 1's perks. I'd like to see all of Turok 2's assets recreated on a modern engine as it is, which disable the draw distance, enable editing and modding, add better player movement, tweak the design a little, and fix the ammo problem.
