Compared to the first Turok which was a kino game, this one had an interesting start to the point of it just becoming a miserable slog to the end that I didn't even finish it. Its not a good feeling when it becomes exhausting to run through all these maze like levels. I don't know if its cope from the fans saying that the level design is fantastic by making the levels intentional maze like, I think for the game it is a massive draw back. Coping fans saying that its not a get to point A to point B is now a multilayered maze like level is stupid when the first game also had maze like levels and never broke the pacing of the game. Here, when I had to look up guides to find things, its not a good sign either, when I didn't have to look up anything for the first game.

I will say that I appreciate what the game is trying to do, however it feels backwards. If you need a good example of what that means, have a look at the hubs for both games where you switch worlds, and then tell me how well each game indicates to which world you have been to and which items you have collected.

New ideas, but they fall flat for Turok 2. Especially the native feather abilities that seem to add more tedious backtracking then anything else. I am interested in the third instalment and I am hoping that this one is just the black sheep of the series.
