Turok: Evolution

2026-05-17

I had a quick run with "Turok: Evolution," which, per tradition, has a separate Game Boy Advance version: a side-scroll shooter. Pixel art is beautiful, reminding me heavily of arcade games. The gameplay is very demanding as for a game from early 2000s, because you generally have to make a perfect run. For some, it was a bad thing, but you have infinite number of continues, so if you only have stamina, you'll munch through. I've yet my first level to finish. :D There is a story, but who cares?

I almost finished level 1. Once you memorise every stage of the level, it's quite actually easy. I need to figure out the end, where I am ambushed by a dinosaur looking like an overgrown raptor and a soldier.

I also tried played this bald character, but I couldn't relate to him, so I went back to the Native American in blue pyjama. Speaking of which, I always thought that his name was Turok, but it's Tal'Set. You never stop learning.
