The view will always center when you move forward). Your first order should be to adjust the horizontal analog stick sensitivity in the options menu and switch off lock-spring if you don't want the camera to snap back whenever you let go of the stick (however, there is no 'true' look-spring off option. Turok's walking pace in the sequel seems a little slower overall and he turns much too slowly. Our suggestion, get used to the Turok setup, and you will find that it enables excellent circular strafing, jumping, and good access to all weapons. For those gamers who can't stand this control scheme, developer Iguana Entertainment also included an alternate setup, but there is not much in the ways of variety. The Turok-style controls (C buttons for movement, stick for aiming) work like a charm and give the movement and play more 'PC character' than analog-steered games like GoldenEye. The gameplay is very reminiscent of Turok 1.

Gameplay Like its predecessor, Turok 2 is a violent first-person shooter based on Acclaim's comic-book series that pushes the N64 hardware to do things no other developer has attempted. As Turok, you will need daring, cunning, and all the wonderful weapons at your command to defeat the Primagen and save the Lost Land and perhaps the universe. As Turok, you will meet some familiar foes, like the hideous Purr-Linn, and come face to face with a blood-chilling cavalcade of new adversaries. It falls to Joshua Fireseed, the new Turok, to confront the challenge as he struggles for the very existence of the Lost Land! He must pay close heed to the wisdom of Adon, the Speaker of Forever Light as she guides him through multiple levels of new adversaries. Awakened by the destruction of the Chronoscepter (doh!), the ancient Primagen urgently calls upon his hapless minions to destroy the Energy Totems and free him from his prison. The Lazarus Concordance realized the danger and erected a series of Energy Totems at places thought to be vulnerable to the Primagen's power. For back when time began, the one they call Primagen challenged creation and was caught up in a prison of his own making. Story When Turok destroyed the Campaigner and the Chronoscepter (in Turok 1), he unwittingly unleashed a new threat, this one even more menacing than the one he'd mastered. We have waited diligently until we got the final, boxed and packaged version of the game and played the hell out of it to bring you our opinions of what makes this game great, but also what some of its inherent flaws are. Reviewed by some magazines way before it was completed, the race for getting the scoop on this holiday season blockbuster has been pretty ugly. To a certain extent, this is also the case with Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.

With some games, hype can grow so big, there is virtually no way they can live up to everything that gamers are hoping for.
