Turok - PC

[Melbosa]

I found this little tid-bit about this game amusing to read, source: http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/38326/In-Other-News:

Got Turok PC from the Fed Ex man on Friday. Went to install, got my head blown off by loud, obnoxious, non-muteable, looping music. Being on 2 DVDs the install was going to take a while, and honestly, I'd rather watch some Internet TV than listen to looping MIDI garbage for 20 minutes. So, had a poke around the DVD, saw the music was a .WAV in a dir, copied the two DVDs to my computer (~14GB), replaced .WAV with a 2-second clip made in Sound Recorder, began install again, watched some TV, let the installer finish after ~10 minutes and two disk change prompts, defragged, finished watching my show, started up the game.

Instantly noticed that the display was bent thanks to crappy programming that put the game in 60Hz mode on my 85Hz CRT monitor (was unimpressed by my recently acquired LCD monitor, has been returned to sender), went in the options, saw no way to change it, exited the game, looked in the .ini files, found no refresh settings, Googled for Unreal Engine config lines, found and inserted the refresh command, booted the game back up again. Problem solved, launch game, realise I must have left the graphic sliders on low because what I'm seeing looks like it came from a three year old game, escape out to menu, see everything is on max (including DX9 UE3 anti-aliasing), go back into the game, play past the first section, get onto the planet, see the graphics are still terrible (2D sprite grass that vanishes, flat texture ground, no bump mapping, weird shine around characters, terrible modelling, etc), play a bit further, get very bored of samey, dull, repetitive gameplay, quit, ask the Gods to return my lost four hours, get nothing, boot Rainbow Six Vegas 2 PC, join Terrorist Hunt, murder many terrorists, enjoy myself, quit, sleep. Happy.

My arse is it worth 7/10. Disappointed am I.

I haven't tried it yet, but been looking to do so!  Maybe not now.

Where did the 7/10 come from? Sounds like a 1/10 to me.
