Rage hard with Turok!

Turok: Rage Wars

Following on from the ever popular Seeds Of Evil is this latest offering from Acclaim - Turok: Rage Wars. Again you play as Turok who has to conquer four different planets, each with its own unique terrain, in order to regain control of the Light Burden which contains the power of creation.

Frustration!

The action is side-scrolling, however the playing areas are not free-roaming. This does cause some problem when you're fending off one of the thirteen mean enemies and need to get a pick-up that's hidden round the corner. If you're not quick enough, it could disappear from the screen and you've got no chance of going back to get it!

Turok fans will love this new challenge, but the rest of us will find the game ultimately frustrating.
