Editorial Review:
Let's start with the good news--Turok 2: Seeds of Evil throws hordes of superbly animated evil mutants and overevolved dinosaurs into the range of an arsenal that makes other games' weapon collections look like lonely baseball bats hanging on a beat-up pickup truck's rifle rack. Start with a battle-claw for hand-to-hand combat and a bow and arrow for longer shots, then move up to plasma rifles and a heat-seeking missile launcher. Since you can't fire heat-seeking missiles underwater, Turok 2 has specialized SEAL-style weapons, such as a harpoon gun and concussion torpedoes. When mere human-sized weapons aren't enough, saddle up on the back of a friendly dinosaur and charge into battle, firing a dino-mounted 20mm cannon.
Want more good news? OK. Unlike many first-person shooter games, Turok 2 provides its bad guys with decent artificial intelligence. You may have to dodge mutants working together to set up a crossfire, or run down enemies who are too smart to just step in front of your weapons. And while you're shooting all the evil monsters and tracking down cowards who flee from your big guns, you'll enjoy well-rendered scenery from five different worlds.
If this sounds great to you, and you enjoy exploring strange alien environments and shooting nearly everything that moves, you'll enjoy Turok 2.
But there are some problems that might prevent you from enjoying it completely. The biggest annoyance is that the game's excellent artificial intelligence isn't matched by intelligent-level design. This is one of those games that requires you to search every corner to find the key you need to unlock the door on the other side of the honeycomb of tunnels. You'll need to use the game's mapping tools to make sure you've looked behind each big door for the small clues and behind each small barrel for the big clues. If you're a master of the Zen of Just-Wandering-Around, Turok 2 won't bother you; but if you're the type of gamer who wants to feel a sense of urgency or a sense that your actions are meshing with a larger story, you may end up tapping your fingers and thinking about other challenges. --Rob Heinsoo

Rating:  - This game is the Best Game by far
I love Turok 2 Seeds of Evil, it is my favorite game, while I believe there are many greats out there, and they are awesome as well, there is just something about Turok 2 even above other Turok games that makes me want to play and play. I can not say enough about how awesome I think this game is, it has gotten me through many nights of frustration, being able to kill dinasour hybrids rules. It gets out my frustration, fills me with adrenaline, and gives me something to talk about with other Turok ... Read More
Rating: - Childhood Game
Okay this game was crazy hard when I was little, I couldn't even beat the first level. In fact, it came to the point where I made my friend beat the game so I can unlock the cheats! Pathetic huh? You know whats even more pathetic, I still couldn't beat the levels with the cheats on!!! Argggg!! But that was many many years ago, when I really sucked at games. When beating a game was like winning a gold medal in the Special Olympics. Nowadays, I'm smarter and brighter, I think. I beat games easily even ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent, for it's five minutes of fame...
This game was excellent in the special effects, sound, most-of-the-graphics departments. It's graphics could still compete with games like Unreal Tournament, they wouldn't win any game-of-the-year awards, but they wouldn't be automatically discounted. It's AI has it's moments, for example, unlike the brutes in Unreal, they don't just head straight at you pistols blazing. Instead they'll hide when you're sporting a big old can o' whoopass. Also, ambient noises, music, and other such audio effects are ... Read More
Rating: - The area's are too, Long!
I am a huge Turok fan, But this was My least favorite. It's still good, Don't get Me wrong, But the area's are way too long. It take's like a week or so, To get past the first level! Still, it's pretty good. And it's really fun, With cheat's.
Rating: - Quite an intense in depth game.
Personally, I thought Turok 2 was an awesome game. The graphics were very good, the sound effects were good, and the music was by far some of the best Acclaim has come out with. This game has some sweet levels. Most are very large and take quite some time to explore. And with levels like The Hive, you feel like you're actually there. Extremely gripping and intense. As some have said, there aren't the tons and tons of monsters to blow away around every corner, but if you want a game like that, ... Read More
