Turok let's you assume the role of Joseph Turok, an ex-member of a special black ops team called Wolfpack. At the beginning of the game we are shown a clipping of Turok being a part of a new group called the Whisky company. These group of militants are on a mission to find & apprehend General Roland Kane. Kane was the leader of Wolfpack & was Turok's former mentor. Their back story is explained in the game, the spoilers of which I won't reveal right now. The story beings with how the ship on which Turok & the gang are travelling is shot down in the orbit & lands on the planet's surface where Kane is working as a commander for a paramilitary force. From here it's a quest to track down Kane while dealing with his forces & at the same time hunting down the Dinosaurs inhabiting that planet.
The gameplay is fairly simple like any other FPS. Just run & shoot or melee kill anything & everything you see moving. When you crash land on the planet you are accompanied with your group member, Slade. Slade pretty much hates you but he will be helping you fight the dinos & the rest of the folks. You'll have your basic weaponry like pistols, dual hand machine guns, pistols, knife, Bow & arrow. Heavy weaponry include Pulse Rifles, Flame Thrower & Chainguns. They are ass kicking if you ask me. You can get into melee fights/combos with the dinosaurs where you need to hit certain button combinations to take em down with style. Basically complete the said objectives & not get lost in the jungle. You have a health regeneration system as usual.
The fight with human AI is pretty boring & dumb as they are almost easy to take out. But the ones with the Dinosaurs are really exciting. Especially the raptors when they are large in number. Also the action gets really heated up towards the end & it's really exciting. T-Rex fights are always a treat. The finale is fantastic. So yes the game is a worth play, atleast once.
