Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

"A good game all in all."

Graphics.

When I first turned this game on it sparkled in my eyes like a new diamond would for a woman. The game is beautiful even without the 4 Megabite expansion pack. But with the Expansion pak the graphics are finely tuned and prettyer in most cases. Because with the pack the game runs in High Resolution instead of the old boring Low Resolution used in most 64 games. The Graphics are on a unreal like Quality. And they set the standard now for games to come. An example would be the birds flying high in the air and how the water shimmers right when you start off.

Gameplay.

The controls are hard to get use to. But when you do, its like you not even thinking about how your moveing. The framrates are a bit choppy when more than two enemys are on the screen at one time. And in the larger areas where there is no fog, but the game still runs fine and most people will get used to the fram rates.

Funfactor.

This game soars in this catagory. There is no greater feeling than when you shot a Purlin with a shotgun up close and put a giant size hole in his stomach in the later levels. The multiplayer mode is where the high point is though. With four people running around in little enclosed area it leaves you wondering where the hours went...

Multiplayer Mode.

Four player compatable... Need I say more. But why not. This game has an awsome mutiplayer mode. They are well over ten stages designed for Multiplayer combat. And the player has the option of choseing the textures of each stage. Ranging from "Castle" to "Mr. Happy" Long after most games would of lost there fun. This is what keeps a game going strong.

Sound & Music

When you hear the music it sends a tingle going down you spine in the later stages... The sound is also very well done. You can hear the sound of the bow beign pulled back to the sound, of moster fighting each other in the background. And in some cases it make you feel like your in a horror movie rather than in a actual game.

Story Line.

With out giving too much away when Turok threw the chronosepter in the volcano at the end of the first game he awakened a new threat. Now Turok must get new weapons. Even bigger than the first game! To stop this new threat before he wipes out the lost land and ever thing in it. And helping him threw his quest is a girl named Adon.

Weapons.

hehe.... Nuke, drooollllll....... well that about wraps up the weapons. Theres other ones but who needs them!?! This is a great game and in the end the only thing that stops me from giving it a ten is the recent lock ups I've had with the games multiplayer mode. This problem is makeing a lot of people have second thoughts about buying this game. Dont let it make you have second thoughts because this game is definately one not to miss out on.
