Again one plays as the Indian Turok and this time it
is a matter sometimes of saving children. New to the game are mission
objectives to perform, such as destroying ammunition dumps or activating
beacons. There are five types of talismans scattered throughout the levels.
These give Turok various powers, such as the Leap of Faith, allowing him to
jump long distances, and Firewalk, granting him the ability to walk over lava.
There are many weapons and several make use of a sniper-mode. They range from
Dinosaur Hunter's bow and arrow to the Cerebral Bore, which was inspired by
the Tall Man's weapons from the movie Phantasm. The flamethrower is noted as
the first of its kind in video game history to include polygonal fire. For
underwater use there's the speargun and torpedo launcher. The final weapon,
the Nuke, is broken up into pieces that the player can find throughout the game,
similar to the Chronosceptor from the previous installment. New types of
enemies include the humanoid Endtrails, the Blind Ones, large spiders, and
the Primagen's semi-robotic Troopers. The enemy artificial intelligence has
been significantly enhanced, and some foes will run away if the player is
brandishing a particularly powerful weapon. In some other cases, enemies can
sporadically get into lethal fights with one another. There's also has a
dismemberment system, where arms, legs, heads, and other body parts can be
removed by targeting specific points on enemy bodies. The opponents differ not only in
appearance, but also in behavior and quickness, and one must learn how
they react and how one can kill them before engaging them. The animations
are excellent again and also the graphics as well. Even a reasonable
game save function was included unlike in the first game. There are three
available multiplayer game modes: a regular free-for-all deathmatch, team
deathmatch, and a unique "Frag Tag" mode. This is an
amusing, even if not an excellent shooter.
