Dancing Lemurs. In a game predating the Madagascar movie. . . . 10/10

Lemurs just do that in real life

I'm not proud of this, but I actually do really enjoy this game. I played it a ton on GCN. Except the flying levels. They are terrible. Cool weapons, a Halo ripoff stage in the mountain ascent level, a stealthy level with poison arrows that make enemies vomit to death? What's not to love? The Zoo cheat is pretty cool too, even if it's mostly made for sadists to kill dinos and animals that can't fight back. Still an interesting cheat. Remember cheat codes? That weren't paid DLC? Sigh....

Turok evolution was one of the games that made me realize that just because it has the name of an all time favorite game series doesn't mean that it has the same love and care put into it as it's predecessors. And it's worse knowing the tragedy of Acclaim. R.i.p The OST and story is good tho.

I loved playing this on GameCube when I was younger. I realise it’s not a great game though, but younger me didn’t care. I mainly loved that gory intro with the reptile dude getting an axe to the face!

One of my favorite parts of this game was shooting an enemy with a poison arrow, and then blowing up their head just as the wretching animation started. If you time it right, their headless body stands there vomiting from its neck before falling over. Hilariously disturbing.

Also if it happens that the enemy happens to stand close enough to a cliff (or any high place) so that the vomit falls off the edge it turns into waterfall of sick, becouse the game spawns as many vomit particels as it can during that animation and they only cease to be until they hit the floor. And if that floor is 20m down bellow...

4:05 Fart jokes are low-hanging fruit for comedy, but in the context of someone farting (with an echo) after being headshotted by an arrow, it gave me a damn good chuckle. The dramatic scream on the next kill worked, too 🤣

Man I would pay good money for a remaster of this. This game takes me back to my childhood

I actually really liked the flying sequences in this. The linear ones anyway. Diving and dodging felt fun.

The best version of turok evolution is on the gba. Very underrated

Man Rage Wars was a gem. I played that way more than I had any business doing. Unlockable characters, skins, upgrades...I became a killing machine with the fleas.

I remember that the TEK bow was actually a straight downgrade from the starting bow in this game. There was a bug with the starter bow where if you tapped the shoot button without charging the arrow at all, it would not drop. But if you charged it, then the arrow had physics applied to it. So by just tapping it quickly enough you had a perfect accuracy hitscan bow - and it didn't work with the TEK bow.

I would forgive any of the game's sins if, upon killing a monkey, you get a game over due to killing humanity's ancestor, and creating a time paradox.

Once you get the hang of the charge timing with the club (you can hold the attack button to charge the club swing and hit much harder with the spiked end of it) it's one of the best weapons in the game. Very effective against the raptors and baboons at-least.

The 1:23 select sound effect from Devil May Cry nearly destroyed me XD Really threw me for a loop because a friend of mine is playing through DMC 3-5 today.

I laughed so hard at the bird farting when you killed it. Probably watched that a hundred times.

Loved this game as a kid alongside the others

I remember having this on my ps2 as a kid, the look controls were inverted by default and being a dumb kid I had no idea how to change it. I usually died when the little raptors bumrush you because it makes me panic and forget the controls are inverted, so I accidentally look skyward and start swinging my axe in the air lol. Never really got past the first few minutes of the first level, but I remember me and my brother playing the multiplayer and spamming cerebral bores at each other. Good times.

To answer your question Matt, Tal’Set is both the Turok from the original Turok comics as well as the one you play as in Turok Dinosaur Hunter. The Acclaim Turok was the guy on the cover art to Dinosaur Hunter in at least America. You play as that one in Turok 2.

Also i rented this as a kid. Turok 1 was a big deal in my house. I used to fall asleep watching my dad play it and have him tell me about new stuff he encountered the next day. There is a forced stealth segment that goes on for like 3 or 4 levels in evo. Every time I thought it was over the next level begins. Being seen by a single enemy is instant game over. And iirc after you beat it you fight for a bit and then have to do even more stealth.

Aye, this game is a prequel to Dinosaur Hunter only because Tal'Set (aka the greatest warrior who has held the Turok mantle) stars in both. The next wave of games, Game Boy included, would have the Fireseed family as the protagonists, Joshua being the most important member of the lineage. Also, it's interesting how the GBA version of Evolution is literally a Contra/Metal Slug-esque game.

"If I asked Nightdive to make a port of this..." It deserves a solid PC fix-up, man! Heck yeah! ;p

weirdly enough turok evolution is my favorite game on GameCube, I never really knew about the older ones on n64 but for what it is I think its still pretty good and the multiplayer for it for its time was the best fun that the people in my friends group had in a shooter, like I get a lot of the common gripes with it but I still think its like an 8/10 but maybe that's just me

This game is still awesome despite its flaws, hopefully we will get the planned but unproduced sequel where we would get to fight Lord Tyrannus. For anyone interested Nightdive studios (the team that remastered Turok 1 and 2) released the official pitch on their twitter account it’s called Turok Resurrection

I'll still never forget about why acclaim had such a great demise in 2004. By the way turok 2 will always be a favorite of mine. 😉😁 Sure wish turok evolution and turok 3 would've used a follow up.

I remember the post-credits scene of Turok 3. Still waiting for that cliffhanger to be resolved.

my first time playing turok evolution was in 2019, after years of seeing people bashing it, and i actually enjoyed it quite a lot.

Any time someone mentions Turok, my brain screams "NAME YOUR DEAD SHADOWBABY TUROK!" Thanks for another trip down memory lane!

I think the Turok games can be a lot of fun. I’d love to see a playthrough of Dinosaur Hunter. I love the world that they created in The Lost Land and I think seeing it explored would be really cool to see.

I remember this was the first FPS I ever played around when it released. Playing Deathmatch with some relatives, I remember seeing "Respawn" for the first time and thought it was a messed up term, like we were fishpeople or something

This game is an incomplete masterpiece. I would love to see night dive studios actually finish this game.

All I can say that as a kid was one of the first FPS I’ve ever played on the GameCube… with cheats! But actually going through it as an adult I noticed how much it runs like ass on PS2 and how the GameCube version is superior but man I never realized how bad it was lol

The cute little lunchbox turned out to hold the guts of a state-of-the-art gaming PC more powerful than the almighty PS2 and only outclassed by the Xbox.

I’ve grown to love the flying sections. It’s really fast paced and easier to master than from what I remember. The game is rushed but was and is still super fun to play and beast the levels. Taking little to no damage when you are on the lift going from one tower to the next fighting the ships. Weapon comboing the enemies. I always love using a explosive arrow then switching to the shotgun and pumping it with the secondary running up to them while they try to get back on their feet.

I remember renting this on a Friday, playing it for an hour, then taking it back to the store and saying it didn't work so that I could exchange it for something else.

I loved this game and used to play it a lot while my GC was still alive... Turok Evolution is the great kid that grew up on a shitty home...

I remember my mom bought this game for my Bro & I for our Gamecube 1st around Christmas time because she thought we'd be more excite to play this cooler/edgier game than say, Mario Sunshine or Luigi's Mansion. Well it's the thought that counts.

To answer your question at 4:53 yes you can arrest them! You just have to keep them in that pose for a little while, and then they disappear

One of my favorite things about this game is the 'Zoo' level you can find through cheats lol. Just walk by and see a T-Rex roaring at you from an enclosure. If you turn to your left, you might see a crocodile or raptor! Or maybe even a deer! I dunno, it just felt like a nice touch lol. Even more so that you can still die in this level. So, you could jump over the barricade and go ham on the zoo animals.

Played this over and over again with my older brother, I loved this game, and I RP'd in the zoo for hours

​@@slimey630 Maybe but remakes usually take as much effort and resources as a new game. And Evolution is pretty antiquated by now so I don't think there's much content they can reuse from that game and not modify it beyond recognition to compete with modern games so at that point just make a new game, especially since Evolution wasn't that successful anyway. But a remaster wouldn't hurt, I'm all down for that.

this game was my everything back in the day.

How did you break the scripting of when you overhear the enemies talking about breaking human bones in a way the second part played as you shot a lizard?

5:37 Let's just say Tal'Set had been skipping leg day up until this point in his life. Good call.

Unironically good game in spite of obvious flaws, honestly. Also a great soundtrack. It's my favorite Turok, by far, and Idc what anyone says

The raving lemurs really are the star of the show for me.

1,2 and Rage Wars are the only Turok games imho

I'd just mod FarCry 2 into Turok Evolution, be exactly what i hoped for

Me and my brothers loved the gamecube version as kids, but mostly because we didn't understand the story (we knew little english) and the multiplayer was funny since you could play as randos brandishing a bone axe like crazy. Ah, good times just messing around.

I need you to continue. The pain seems to be the entertainment!

Fucking love this game, flying sections can be really annoying but other than that this is a game I cherish. I have really nice memories with it

The main character of Evolution is Tal'Set, who has a fairly interesting history with the canon. See, the original Turok game was based off of the Turok: Dinosaur Hunter comic series by Valiant since Acclaim only just recently acquired Valiant and hadn't kicked off their series of Turok comics just yet, so technically T:DH has literally nothing to do with Turok 2, since Seeds of Evil was the first of the games to be based off of Acclaim's Turok. In Valiant's Turok, the story centers around 2 protagonists named Turok and Andar, the former being the playable character in T:DH. In Acclaim's Turok, the story mostly focuses Joshua Fireseed, who is player character in T2:SOE. Turok Evolution is meant to be a prequel to T:DH but is still canon to the Acclaim Multiverse, which complicates things as you can imagine.

If you hang around the dinosaurs with the spike on their tails in the first level, they will eventually spray diarrhea. 10/10

I liked this one. Didn't care much about the story tho. The part when you fly down a waterfall was my favorite part of this game.

Also I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants a Rage Wars remaster as well as a Turok 3 remaster. I actually bought the remasters for 1 and 2 on Steam, Switch and PS4 to show my support for it.

Still vividly remember this being the first ever game i actually refunded and that's saying something. Mom and me had to make an hour long trip to the nearby city the next day just to do so. Kid me always was extremely lenient on what i thought was good enough content to keep and this one even had fucking dinosaurs but the ps2 version was horrible in my memory

Yes. Please ask night dive about T3 and Evolution remasters! You will certainly get their attention! Btw. Please do a full play through commentary. Rly enjoyed it.

Duuuude I could feel your pain of those horrendous flying segments. I seriously stopped playing about where you stopped. I seriously love 1 and 2 though!

I never hated the Turok series (at least the two N64 games I remember playing way back when), but to me Turok was always "the game we played whenever we hung out with that one kid who didn't have GoldenEye."

This was a good weekend time killer for my cousins and I with the multiplayer.

My first PS2 game way back in 2003. I remember those graphics at the time were really solid and epic in the grand scale levels later in the game. Specifically the castle and floating city levels stood out to me as something I hadn’t experienced yet, and wouldn’t experience again until Halo 2

They used the exact same design from Captain Harrison Love from the movie called The Mask of Zorro for Captain Bruckner in this game. I noticed that right away when I saw him in the instruction booklet way back in 2004.

Turok Evolution for the GBA was really fun....

Skull mcmuscles is taking a final form no ones yet to see.

I loved it as a kid on psi one of my favourite games on ps2

Me and my friend had a lot of fun with the multiplayer as a kid. The story...not so much. Tbh we didnt pay attention to the cutscene and couldnt figure out how to finish the levels

By the thumbnail my only thoughts was that one The Last of Us 2 meme.

Turok was great, Turok 2 was amazing, 3 was cool but too short. Nothing else existed.

I appreciate you not using that Madagascar song for the dancing lemurs.

Thank you!

Yeah definitely a game I was super excited for in my teen years(or preteen) I remember begging my mom for it,don’t remember much of initial play through but I do know I got to the last boss but never bothered to beat so there’s that

I've played this game so much that its quirks are just matter of fact to me in my brain lol

My first GameCube video game...

Theirs a pistol in the first level that’s also a sniper, the 2 raptors would’ve been child’s play, you needed to climb the small mountain you were climbing to get the key but go to the top. It’s next a monkey who’s guarding it.

This was my first Turok game, before going back to Turok 2,1, and Rage Wars. I do think the older games had a better style to them, and is a shame this one didn't have a more cinematic story. I think there were even multiplayer characters who didn't show up in the campaign. However, this game did do well with the gore and trying to make the areas feel lively with all the animal models, unlike other games with empty and sometimes soulless open world landscapes.

I think this Turok has the best nuke in the whole series, too bad you can't cheat to use it in other levels outside the one you get it in

"This is the PC Version... Which I didn't know it existed until not that long ago" Well that's your first mistake: The PC version is worse than the PS2 by a mile, I'll tell you hwat. Besides the only advantage being mouse controls, everything else suffers. I mean, if you attempt to change the controls without playing this in compatibility mode, then you're boned (it's also hard to simply close the game). Here's some more shit that's exclusive to the PC: >One thing to mind is that Acclaim didn't port the PC version but some 3rd party contract. Another is that this is PAL Exclusive(?) >The text doesn't scale if playing at a higher resolution, which renders said text being small (look at HUD). >Certain pieces of scenery looks way off (I.e. the stalactites), and that's because the company ported this botched the shaders. >The Scopes are UNUSABLE. Even the Spider Mine is worthless. >The FOV is a bit too low. I'm judging this by the title screen where you're supposed to see the floor. Perhaps it was the game isn't intended to run wide screen. >There's no Multiplayer, but there's still Multiplayer leftovers. >Speaking of leftovers: There's also a goldmine of unused content, including Fatboy Slim.
