Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

I will always remember this AWESOME GAME !!

It was just pure joy and fun, definitely a big part of my childhood!

I just love it and today I bought it on STEAM too to play it all over again even though it can't be compared with Nintendo 64 and it's awesome joystick, but still I am excited.

Only 90's kids will know what I am talking about.

Back then, there was no internet to surf and search for a tutorial on how to solve certain stages etc, I remember spending hours trying to find a solution, but I surely loved it :)

"Turok returns in a truly amazing new adventure, delving deep into the core of a violently twisted world in order to find and destroy the Primagen.

Featuring a world of gruesome enemies, explosive new weaponry, and a multi-player death match that will leave you breathless..."

Having defeated the Campaigner, Turok throws the Chronocepter into a waiting volcano to destroy it. Unfortunately the blast awakens an even deadlier force - The Primagen. Once again a Turok is tasked with restoring peace to the land and stopping the Primagen from merging Earth with the nether world.

TUROK FTW.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a good sequel to the first game Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, the graphics are slightly improved and the gore is higher. The weapons are cool and cause more damage to your enemies, another difference is that their are less dinosaurs to kill in this game, you fight more dinosaur hybrids and creatures more than dinosaurs.

You also play a new Turok named Joshua Fireseed who must protect these totems from being destroyed if so this alien creature will escape from his ship. The levels are more vast leaving loads to explore but this can be a problem because they can be so long you start to get a bid bored of the environment.

The multi-play is a new option from the first game but can feel lacking when it's just two fighting in a huge arena.

Other than that Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a good game that should be played.

I really liked the first Turok game, so when the 2nd came out I bought it. At first I put it on and I could see how dark it was. I mean I knew it was called "seeds of evil" but I didn't think it would be as dark as it is. I liked the Iguana entertainment video in the beginning, as anyone who's seen the video on the first turok game would like the 2nd one.Unfortunately I can't say the same for the actual game play. Turok is no longer the same character, it is a new turok named jason or something, and he looks different. Everything is hard to see(because it's so dark), the weapons are evil looking, the boss' and bad guys are as well, and THERE WERE NO DINOSAURS....that had me going. The only dinosaurs were genetically engineered and they walked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a cheesy looking dinosaur costume. I barely ever play the game it was such a disappointment. Only once in a while is it fun to turn on the game,get out the shotgun and blow away the enemys. Then after about 15 minutes you put the game away for a few months again....and it pretty much goes on like that. The game was extremely disappointing and no wonder it was such a flop. 2 out of 5 stars (ps) If you want a cheat type in "BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND", to activate the cheat mode

After playing the Epic original, it was a big let Down to me that Part 2 was so Terrible. First off, There were little Dinosaurs and very Bad Special and Visual effects. It is Hard to even consider this stuff as part of the series. Well, try it if you want to risk getting disappointed, or, if you want to only think highly of the series, skip this one and go to Part III.

This is undoubtedly one of the best first-person shooters released for the N64 and the best game in the Turok franchise.

Joshua Fireseed, nephew of Carl Fireseed, is transported to another dimension known as the Lost Land, where an alien named Adon recruits him to take up the mantle of Turok and stop an alien warlord called the Primagen from escaping his lightship by destroying five energy totems, which in turn will destroy the universe. There's a bit more voice acting and a more immersive story this time, making the game deeper than just another gory first-person shooter.

You'll travel across five huge levels that are far more exotic and detailed than the first game, and the lack of distance fog allows you to navigate and experience them much more thoroughly. On each level, you'll not only collect level key pieces to unlock the other areas, but you'll also be given with additional objectives, such as rescuing captured children and prisoners, destroying enemy equipment or weapon/ammo storage, etc.

The weapons are even more hardcore and awesome than the first game. You'll wield advanced guns like the Shredder, Firestorm cannon, and the infamous Cerebral Bore, which fires an explosive dart that homes in on an opponents skull, drills down into their brain, then explodes!

The graphics were amazing and ahead of their time. The levels and enemies were beaitifully designed and textured, the movements of the latter were smooth and lifelike, and all of the sound effects were top-notch, especially the weapons.

The enemies are more diverse and creative as well. Instead of mere dinosaurs and human poachers and soldiers, you'll battle genetically altered dinosaur hybrids called Dinosoids, visious one-eyed Flesh Eaters, underground Blind Ones, giant sentient insectoid Mantids, and many more. The AI is a step up from the first game, and some enemies will take cover and evade your attacks, making them much more challenging than before. The bosses are also much tougher and more difficult to beat, especially the Primagen himself during the final showdown.

The soundtrack is the best part of the game and easily surpasses the one from the first game. Every level has heart-pounding action music that will keep you pumped. Despite it's difficulty, "Lair of the Blind Ones" soundtrack made up for it by being the best music in the game.

Unfortunately, the framerate is choppy at times, especially when there's multiple enemies on screen at once. The sheer size of the levels make them easy to get lost in, even with the map turned on. The Lair of the Blind Ones is especially infamous for this. Plus, the mission objectives required an annoying amount of backtracking at times. Finally, the multiplayer was pretty lackluster and inferior to other games at the time.

Still, Turok 2 unquestionably marked the peak of the franchise and it's still enjoyable today.
