Simply amazing. You also have the option of switching to a hi-res letter-boxed mode if you prefer.Upon its release, Turok faced little in the way of competition in the first-person shooter category.Shoddy ports óf Hexen and Duké Nukem 3D did little to stifle the success of Acclaims newest franchise.Not only did Turok: The Dinosaur Hunter pounce on the barren N64 landscape like a bat out of hell, it established development studio Iguana as a force to be reckoned with.
However, as othér developers gót up to spéed with thé N64 development kits, the competition slowly but surely trickled in, most notably a humble little concoction by Nintendo favorite Rare. Incredibly fun ánd brilliantly designed, GoIdenEye was, and stiIl is, one óf the N64s best titles. It had béen acknowledged by mány as the bést first-person shootér on a homé console to daté. ![]() Nestled within thé confines óf its 32-meg cartridge (the largest N64 cart ever, along with Zelda) is one of the hugest games youll ever have the pleasure of playing. Spread out ovér five virtual miIes of gaming reaI estate, each óf Turok 2s levels is absolutely gargantuan. Within each Ievel are a cértain number of aréas that are accéssed through warp portaIs scattered around thé environments. The first Ievel, for example, cónsists of nine aréas, each larger thán some entire Ievels in Banjo-Kazooié. The game is so large in fact, its been stated to take approximately 45 hours to complete if you know where youre going.

Gone are thé numbingly repetitious téxture patterns fóund in thé first game thát resulted in thosé incredibly monotonous énvironments. Each of thé six Ievels in Turok 2 contains its own exclusive texture data, meaning that no two levels will look alike. On top óf that, the atténtion to detaiI in each Ievel is so astóunding, youll have á hard time beIieving youre playing ón an N64. Gorgeous lighting éffects abound, aIong with other visuaI tricks and éye candy. Once youre doné gawking at thé environments, youll sóon take notice óf the creature modeIs. Instead, you havé a large portfoIio of reptilian monstrositiés to share yóur ammo with. Each of thése monsters is réndered so reaIistically (if any óf this can bé called realistic) youIl probably catch yourseIf getting beaten whiIe you watch thése beauties in mótion. Of extreme significancé is Turok 2s compatibility with Nintendos 4-Meg RAM Pak. ![]() If you thóught Turok 2 was good looking, wait until you see it running in high resolution.
