It was amazing, bros. Super underrated. It took the formula from Doom that we loved and amped it up to the max potential of tech at the time. Looking around, building GIANT levels with lots of verticality and platforming and exploration. Secrets galore... decently HARD and well balanced difficulty. The weapons... the sounds and looks of them were the most realistic thing out at the time, and there was tons of them, including innovative crazy weapons you find later. All of them had their uses.

I still stand by my love for this game. There still has been nothing quite like the first Turok on N64.

I AM TUROK!

You've got to be shitting me. Hard mode is extremely hard. The Omega pirate wears out my fingers and is a huge wall for most players. One of the hardest games I've ever beaten.

Turok has some synthwave to the soundtrack and is extremely ominous in it's atmosphere. No wonder since part of the MP team made it.

Do I need to find all 8 pieces of this weapon to beat the game? Or is it just a really good weapon?

Just picked up Turok 1 and 2 from a used game store, what am I in for?
