Genetically reconstituted Jurassic Park - not a place for walking, though dinosaurs like to see everyone. Grandparents modern inhabitants of the terrarium, the views of developers, are the ideal opponents - fast, strong and unpredictable. These predators! Just open the encyclopedia with good illustrations, to be sure - an enemy more dangerous than the bloodthirsty reptile, be it the size of a five-story house or, alternatively, not more than half a meter, but with cronies, not to find.
Joseph Turok, a time forgotten their Indian roots, the other was not a dinosaur. His first military operation at once is a headache - for the start of the men from the detachment to which he was assigned, laugh strange name, and then some mudslinger rumor that the rookie is better not to trust. Finally, the ship-transporter crashed on the planet, in the jungle who had settled not only unusual reptiles, but a small army of long-wanted criminals. Turks were lucky - thanks to the help and did not stop banter of fighters he managed to survive and to procure weapons. But with him escaped, and this is mudslinger, it is unknown why zaimevshy tooth to the child of Native Americans. Together they decide to find the wreck, to find survivors and carry out the assigned mission. Turks fell to go first - under the supervision of a dozen pairs of human and animal eyes.
 | |  | When dealing with a large dinosaur, it makes sense to try to incite him to fish smaller. However, if the plot of a dinosaur - the boss, this trick does not work. | | At a great distance to get to difficult opponents, but it's not the fault of management dzhoypada. They just do not stand still, and find shelter, hide, and in general in the battle act like vsamdelishnye warriors. |
The first day in the jungle Familiarity with the game mechanics and the local rules of survival is disappointing because not seen before, or simply not advertised developers details. For example, grass. Turok high grass in the dense, swaying in the wind and always trampled if somewhere nearby runs wild beast. However - that's amazing! - It does not crumple under the carcass killed by a dinosaur, and animation "quiver" in both cases one - it is impossible to understand, rushing to meet a fanged monster, or a mountain breeze, simulating the laws of physics, tries to create the illusion of a living world.
Following the disappointment from discontent fauna flora wait, and along with their habitat. Turok would be a typical first-person shooter, if not unique collection of enemies and the idea, to which each location, whether forest or mountain passes, turns into a deadly maze. Unfortunately, these promises developers the confirmation was not found.Levels are hung with vines corridors with a few forks, go left, to prowl in search of lunch, hungry critters, or move to the right, where in ambush lurk nasty mercenaries, ready at any moment to open fire? When the action moves indoors, say, a military base, while teammate under the most absurd pretext of possible strikes against the AWOL and turns right, probably barrikadiruya the door behind him, Turok and are not distinguishable from most FPS average poshiba. A gift that was given to shoot with two hands: one gun, and another - a machine gun.
 | Game achievements |
Game achievements (achievements) in the Xbox 360 version are given for achievements in the multiplayer mode only. However, despite the wealth of opportunities for the latter (provided even a mode of cooperative transmission!) Wanting to war with the dinosaurs, not online as much as we would like.
 | |  | Turok held with a knife - a special, with what incomparable pleasure. Knife, by the way, we can go even Tyrannosaurus rex! | | Beautiful sky, sunset and sunrise - unfortunately, not a reason to admire the graphics, Turok. It is good, but there is nothing outstanding. |
Laughter prolongs life During the journey from point A to point B of the hero from time to time beset by memories of the lessons of survival, obtained in the camp ... on the offender, with the head of which he now hunts. Say, Turk picks up a mechanical bow, the screen blurs for a split second, then the player shows a scene on the engine, where the bearded villain gives instruction on the use of a new type of weapon. "Classroom cannon - giggles burglar. - Would be useful, we live in the Stone Age. " Surprisingly, but that such episodes cause a close eye on all the shortcomings, there is a hint of an intriguing story, starting with jokes and popliteus to the unflappable hero, and for the finale to the ever new details that make possible a comprehensive understanding of things happening in the world outrage.
Partner in the first half of the game - the character almost more remarkable than the hero himself. "Go ahead, Turk, and let there without its quirks. Not for nothing all the Western reviewers noted the excellent play of actors involved in the articulation of the characters. I remember the famous first Gears of War set the fashion for "conversations in the line, where every joke perceived tempered part and parcel of the narrative. Here, a similar effect, but adjusted to what Turk himself - the type where the taciturn and grimaced rather than respond with something pungent to the jokes, like "Turk? This is a family or a joke? ". Not one game event will not be without a cynical comment, though the humor here mainly soldiers - tough, but clean and simple. In general, do not be surprised if a dinosaur who shot his first assistant splyunet and as if nothing had happened asks: "I wonder what those critters taste like?".
 | |  | Along the way, in the hands of the hero turns out to be different weapons. However, nothing is more convenient machine, bow, knife and pistol makers could not come up.Simultaneously, the Turks can not carry more than two types of weapons | | When Turk nock, sight does not tremble. But for a long time to aim not give - in a few seconds, the hero of itself will release an arrow. |
But for a long time to admire acting talent running mate does not leave, because as a fighter he is a great benefit you will bring. One gets the impression that the developers have created a universal soldier who alone can shoot a whole battalion, and at the same time to save him a trusted party, but in order not to embarrass a player, substantially underestimated the damage a superman ... Done. The soldier who dies after three hits from a machine gun Turok before killed by grumpy comedian, ten times the fall in the knees and heroically rise, taking the breast turn for a burst from the barrel grumpy comedian. Like the opponents, partner moves in advance the intended path, sometimes, however, coming back if the hero has decided to bypass the checkpoint on the other side. And if in case it is not so much (good, because it often distracts the attention on itself, giving players the opportunity to shoot the villains from the back), then with the opponents of the situation sometimes comes to the ridiculous: Turok run up the stairs, meets five enemies without delay opening fire at him, killing two people and Retiro - watch from the shelter as empty was in pursuit of enemies skips a few steps, and at once forgetting the shootout, quietly returned to the office.
But the behavior of dinosaurs, to honor the founders, can be described as "unpredictable." And while their animal savagery into the hands of the Turks (can and should be put under one-track monsters enemies), is often more convenient not to stand idly by staring, like prehistoric beasts snack unhappy soldiers, and help the enemy to deal with predators - people something, as it turns out, fight to easier. However, the reptile itself does not hurt too dangerous (if not Tyrannosaurus, of course) until the dinosaurs attack the hero alone, are likely to encounter will take place in a scene where the player will very quickly be displayed on the screen, press the button to Turk ruffian Plunged reptile knee or istykal knife. Neither one nor the other way, for the dinosaurs are not dead. This, then, they are afraid of: having lost in the pack, reptiles give such a battle that only one cool weapon will do little - will have to run, dodge, shoot and look for where to catch my breath, to regain health. Under the open sky to hide not so difficult, but in some cave, where light from a single lantern, whose charge is about to end, but with the unfortunate pistol and a hunting knife ... We have to trust the instincts. Predict where the dinosaur jump the next time it is impossible. Peek into the darkness greedily gleaming tails? And what remains ... "dinosaur should eat, and eat them meat. You - the meat. Run! "- A mocking inscription meets load screen. And the next time not to hear the next ear gnashing of teeth, this advice is better not to be neglected.
| Graphic part |
Graphical part of Turok - currently controversial. To the level of next-generation consoles hold out, but the beauties of Gears of War or BioShock - no. Throw a stone in the development possible and for not very well-chosen color scheme. The prevailing dark-green tones (both in the mountains and forests, and even on military bases) are not conducive to comfortable playing on a simple TV. And the version for PlayStation 3, generally more friendly in this respect, suffers from the same ailment.However, on the screens of high-resolution picture still looks dark, but from the moving object at first unable to recognize only the dinosaurs, the benefit of their coloring is different from the "background", but illuminated by the divine radiance model characters in scripted commercials. Impression of the latter, incidentally, can spoil the only belatedly loaded textures. Do not be lazy, before the game install the available updates - otherwise, at one point on the texture of Tyrannosaurus rex seems only after he razinet mouth and take a deafening low note.
