Turok for PS3 is one of the greatest games yet.
Pros: Great Gameplay, Awesome Graphics, Smart AI, A Beastly main character (Turok), Dinosaurs coming out of everywhere, Awesome online play ( When you are playing a DM online, Dinosaurs will randomly spawn and attack you, both teams are at risk, to survive you must be able to make quick decisions, whether to kill the dinosaur or the other player first), The game has awesome dinosaur rapage (Turok will just run up to raptors with his knife and stab it in the freakin head like its an everyday thing.)

Cons: 90% of the whole game is way to dark to see anything( You run through dark forests and caves not knowing where you are supposed to go and then Dinosaurs will come out of nowhere and attack you and may succeed in killing Turok, which can get rly annoying) Another thing tht makes Turok a hard game is tht there is no auto-aim, u may think im a bitch for sayin tht, but for console games its hard to deal with out it. Aiming in this game is rly hard,and when u get shot Turok has a siezure, and the screen shakes around violently, also the screen become blurry and red. Which makes staying alive very difficult

Storyline: Turok was a soldier for the enemy leader Cain, he was trained by him to be a stealthy killer, teaching him to use the knife and bow as his main weapons. Cain orders him to kill a few innocent ppl, Turok does this but regrets it and has nightmares throughout the game. Turok eventually leaves this group and ends up with Whiskey Company whos mission is to find and kill Cain,. Every1 in the company dislike and dont trust Turok bc he worked for the enemy.Throughout the whole game u are sent out with different ppl in the company, and then they die bc they arent beastly like Turok. Then Turok gets back to the company alone, and everybody is suspicious of him killing the members of Whiskey co. The main leader of Whiskey Co. hates u and despises u until u save his ass in a cave bc he ran away from a fight and dropped his flamethrower, which u use to kill a huge fish/eel thing. Then he is like " Turok, this is btwn u and me, right?" What a pussy. Turok ends up findin a ship for the only 2 remainin guys of Whiskey Co. to fly away. Then Turok decides he cant let cain go free. So he lets them leave the world as he runs around killin dinos and soldiers till he finds cain getting in a ship, but cain decides to shoot at Turok instead of leaving... Bad idea. Turok ends up destroying the ship, and then has an epic knife fight with Cain. The problem is Turok lost his knife when he destroyed the ship.... 2 Guys, 1 knife, well Turok ends up stealin the knife away after a few buttin mashin sequences, then kills Cain in a few more button mashin frenzys. After tht, when u think its over a huge ass T-Rex comes out of nowhere, and all Turok has is a knife and a bow...

Bad Ass game

Turok, although only single player had great graphics, weapons and story. I mean who wouldn't want to slit a raptor, or t-rexes' throat? Online multiplayer is also a fun experience, learn how to use the dinosaurs to your advantage, and keep them out of your way. The only disappointing part of the game is that it has no split-screen :(

Killing the dinos is a blast; pull the right trigger when you're in range, and one of a handful of slick animations will unfold, most beginning with your knife to their head or throat, and all ending with a nice spurt of dinosaur blood. Despite the limited animations, this mechanic--probably because it's so quick and satisfying--never grows old. And not all raptor encounters end with a dino corpse sitting at your feet; you'll often have to fend off their attacks by jamming on the trigger buttons. Whether you're on the giving or receiving end, you'll never have a problem attacking or defending because Propaganda was kind enough to keep the context-sensitive stuff to the two triggers--sometimes you'll have to press both simultaneously. The mechanic would've grown frustrating fast if players had to react to a random on-screen cue every time a dino decided he wanted to take a bite out of you.

While your over-sized Rambo blade is the best defense against the prehistoric populace, you'll be breaking out the heavier hardware for your human adversaries. Don't misunderstand; it's just as satisfying to stealthily come behind an unfriendly and pry their skull open with the serrated blade, but it's usually easier to take them out from afar. Turok's arsenal has the familiar favorites--shotguns, sniper rifles, flame- throwers, grenades--, but all weapons possess a secondary mode, offering players an alternate means of creatively taking down foes. The gatling gun, for example, can be set to fire on its own as a stationary turret, and the flamethrower has the corridor-clearing ability to hurl plasma grenades. The weapon selection is further supported by Turok's old stand-by: the bow and arrow; the high-tech--this ain't just a string tied to both ends of a stick--weapon fires regular and explosive arrows and, with the right torque applied, can skewer baddies, pinning them to trees and walls. You're not going use the bow as much as the other weapons, but it's still nice to always have it at your disposal; both the bow and knife are always equipped in addition to two firearms.

Yak yak yak..
