Review
Acclaim did a lot for the world of first person shooters on video game consoles with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64. For one, they attempted to recreate the controls of having a mouse and keyboard like the PC version by having the player move the character with the four “C” buttons, and look with the analog stick. This recreated the sense of “free look,” but often was difficult to control. This is a common control element with the dual analog sticks on controllers today, but when only one analog stick was present, it proved dificult to master.
Playing as a Native American hero whose ancestors that have always protected humanity from evil, Turok, you have a wide range of weapons to use and areas to explore. Your typical enemy is a dinosaur (or a creature that resembles a combination of a few different types of them) and you can destroy them in many different and violent ways.
The Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Soundtrack is full of jungle beats, heavy bass, and string instruments, and was provided by staff member Yoleme.
