Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil has -- as a one-player game -- turned out to be good, but not the world-shaker everyone was expecting. It's Doom, basically -- a glorious-looking update of Doom, but Doom nevertheless. What saves Turok 2 is the multiplayer game, which is faster and smoother than Goldeneye.

All in all, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a great game and a worthy sequel. Those of you who loved "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter" will absolutely love this beauty. Turok 2 has managed to impress me just as much as its predecessor.

Seeds of Evil is an adrenaline thrill ride from start to finish. I strongly suggest a purchase as the multiplayer alone warrants a buy.

It's nearly impossible not to enjoy Turok 2. The core game has its flashes of brilliance, but it also has some problems. Turok 2 really lives off its visuals and the art design, and the multiplayer experience pushes it over the top. If you enjoy console deathmatches, then you MUST own Turok 2!

It lacks pizzazz and will quickly become wearisome to shooting fans. Still, first-timers and action addicts won't want to miss out on its tight combat and horrific fun.

Shooter fans take note, this is one of the best of its kind on the machine, especially when connected to the Expansion Pak. Time Turok and roll…

He is back with a furious and terrible anger indeed. Just as GoldenEye raised the bar for first-person shooters, so too has Turok 2. It's a landmark shooter and a must-buy.

Perhaps the most impressive mode of the game is the multi-players, in which Acclaim put more thought into. With special design deathmatch stages, Turok 2 has the same if not, better multi player funfactor of "Goldeneye 007."

The Nintendo 64 has been slain by the power of the mighty Turok 2. As enjoyable as the game is, it is impossible to overlook the fact that the Nintendo 64's cartridge and memory limitations have been bested by this sensationally designed adventure.

One of the most enjoyable first-person perspective shoot 'em ups that I've ever played. If you enjoy this style of game, don't miss it! Oh, and be sure to get one of those 4MB expansion paks so that you can enjoy it in full high-resolution splendour.

If the inexplicably maze-like levels weren't irksome enough, the fact that you will spend quite a bit of time negotiating them looking for save points will really strain your tolerance. Turok 2 is Quake with gorgeous graphics, poorly-planned (but attractive!) levels, and gimmicks out the wazoo.

All Game Guide
An extremely entertaining shooter that is a must-have for any fan of the genre -- and that's not even taking into account the multi-player mode! Like GoldenEye before it, Turok 2 raises the bar for first-person shooters and is among the best titles available on the system.

After the very enjoyable Turok Dinosaur Hunter the first outing in the series, Turok 2 has officially killed what could have been a great series. It's hard to have fun playing a game where you have to sit still to have any remote chance of hitting your target.

Starfire gave it an8:
This watered down the Turok experience into a standard FPS-adventure game, which was even worse on the limited hardware of the N64 (this was a problem whenever people tried to make a 'regular' game or port for it). The expansion pack had really impressive graphics, but got very jerky. Impressive to play, I spent hours on it, but not such a mysterious classic as the first one.

Tom G. gave it an8:
This game was nearly perfect, but there were several flaws. The draw distance was very limited, the framerate was very choppy when explosions and particle effects were loaded, and even the Hi-Res pack was supported, it lowered the framerate. Overall, it has a good plotline, nice weapon library, and well-planned level design and monsters to rip apart, gib by gib. 8/10.

Lisa B. gave it a10:
I love the game so much I could never get sick of it for people that want to cheat the master code is BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND it get you every thing you want rock on Turok.

Grant H. gave it a9:
Great! Just a fun game to play! It may be 2006 in which I'm posting this, however I have to say it's a fun classic just to kill some time on...and I do mean -kill-. There's a lot of that. The only let-down is the terribly close Fog; it really decreases your view in somewhat open areas, and it's bad that some weapons can't fire beyond that fog; which means if you're chasing an enemy which is faster than you, it might run into the fog and your shots won't reach it. Still, great game.

Gustavo H.R. gave it a5:
The main problem is the horrible gameplay. The character you're supposed to control seems to weight a ton, and the levels are way too dark, repetitive and uninteresting. Great sound, music and graphics. The weapons are cool. But that is not enough. The multiplayer mode is also a letdown.

Joe H. gave it a10:
This game owns so bad!

Turok gave it an 8:
Not nearly as good as the first, yet awesome nonetheless.
