While Whiskey Company is traveling to the genetically altered planet inhabited by Kane and his soldiers, Whiskey Company’s ship is shot down. Turok must use his elite military training to elude Kane’s well-trained army, known as Mendel-Gruman, and the ravenous, unpredictable dinosaurs, huge insects and other massive creatures that populate the dangerous environment.

lmao, how does the console know you're not old enough? Do your parents mind? Because I'm pretty sure you could talk them into it (since they buy you M games anyways)

[Punish3r]

I have that same problem. Even though I have access to the "Parent" account, I can't download M-Rated games. It's quite dumb. Last time I checked, 17 years old was the age to buy M-Rated games. Get your facts straight Microsoft!

Also, just noticed your had DaxFlame in your sig. That kid is hiliarous!

[Clipse]

Wow, I must say I'm fairly pissed off after researching this more since waking up. It seems like Major Nelson didn't have all of the information or jumped to conclusions himself.

[Vkeeper42]

ive had the demo for almost 2 months... dont worry... its nothing to get excited about.

[RoAFie]

wtf y no US release?

[tenaciousdave]

It's probably to violent for us americans. You know how those games make us go crazy and kill people.

[RoAFie]

Doubt it. Australia is way worse than the US for jumping on the hippie bus.

[Burner110]

Man that sucks that north America isnt getting it :(

[Razor]

That is really weird, North America doesn't get this demo, Thats kind of a rip.

[Bradmatic]

just downloaded this demo overnite last nite, played it today, gameplay is a bit fast in pace changes, can be really fast one second and dead slow the next, the aiming is a bit out of tweak and im gonna need to adjust it when i get the full game, other than that, animations are great, graphics aren't that impressive but are still good, weapons and AI seems ok so far, im gonna give it a 7-8/10 at most.

And a really st00pid call for advertising.

[tjayars]

Easy solution,
Go to Gamestop and I think Best Buy has them too. Put a so called $5 deposit down. Gamestop doesnt hold you to it so you can use it later on something else if you want. The store I go to gives them away usually without preordering. I definitely liked it not sure about 8/10 though as someone suggested. Shame lots of the achs are multiplayer.

[Burner110]

crap there gonna loose alot of munny because of this cayse people arent gonna kn ow how it is so they wont buy it

[Vkeeper42]

ill repeat this... i live in PA... ive played the Demo... IT SUCKS!

[Burner110]

Ok thats good to know one of the most hyped about games sucks

[blum3]

Got it on my OXM disc. I'm playing ith right now. Shit is tense.

[XXXJUICEDXXX]

I remember this game on ......hmmmmm...... think it was N64 . Yes turok and zelda was only two games I had for N64 . Big guns and Big enemies = Lots of blood :) . I will be renting this sucka soon as available.

[Burner110]

Speaking about awesome games for the N64 anyone know when Banjo and kazooie is coming out?

[Clipse]

On the n64 it wa awesome

Which one? There were 4 Turok games on the N64 in all I believe. 1 and 2 were great, 3 I don't remember playing, and Rage Wars was terrible for multiplayer in my opinion. I have high hopes for this game, but time will tell.

[Burner110]

Sorry 1 and 2 were great the rest sucked pretty bad lol

From recent experiences, you cannot really tell what a game is unless you play the full version yourself. I don't even listen to reviews anymore because many are biased, and tend to only point out the negatives in games. As with demos, I have played some, hated them, bought them, and loved them. For example, Lost Planet had a shitty demo. IMO, the game deserves an honorbale mention amongst all 360 games.

As for Turok, first week buy for me:D

Wait.. Arent you the one who is always telling me not to get a game because of all the ratings they got online and in magazines?

[iJohn]

But I own the games I tell you to get. I just tell you that because you need more than assurance from me to buy a game:p

[justcallmeChill]

ill pretty much trust ign's reviews..they are pretty inline with my opinions and only once in awhile stray from what i am thinking..looking forward to seeing what this one will get..not even gonna dl the demo

[tenaciousdave]

I can download it on my PS3 but I really don't know if I care enough about this game to do so. Haha.

[Shutup23]

Gah! For the first time ever the USA gets the shaft in the video game department. Even India gets to play the demo before we do!:confused:

[Ghost]

Well I just got done playing it a little while ago on my OXM disc. It's an okay game, but nothing to really get excited about.

[DrHerbz]

Its sorta fun, but doesn't excite play or anything, shootings a bit sluggish and you can walk up to anything and tap RT for the cool knife animation. Thing that stands out the most, for a game that seems to be in the jungle with lots of grass, why does the grass look so shit? :p

[tenaciousdave]

It's pretty awful. I tried it out on my PS3 and I BARELY made it through the demo.

[Khaos x3h]

I'll have to create a new account and download it!

[Azeron]

I think all that karma Europe has for allways getting screwed over is finally kicking in.

Anyway, I reccomend everyone just make a silver UK and Japanese account for use with the marketplace, you'll thank yourself later and it only takes like five minutes.

[RoAFie]

Yeah I just had to make a silver account to get past the demo bs with the age blocker thing so I might as well make one for UK and Japanese downloads XD

Edit: Btw when I did it I made sure I was a 24 year old from Hawaii. I would have been an organ donor too (I would have saved a lot of lives too if you catch me playing CoD4). Too bad the name "McLovin" was taken as a gamertag >_<
