Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

Smell that? That is the smell of a great game. And not only a great game, but a game that taught me almost everything I know about gaming today. Yes, I am of course talking about the true classic Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Now, for those that don't know, lemme put it simply: this game is pretty much known as one of the best first person shooters to ever exist on a home console. And man, back then? This game was the absolute ****. From the first level all the way to the last you are just in constant combat with dinosaurs at every corner. It's fun to control, the gunplay is fantastic, and all the guns you get are all unique and cool. And plus, the infamous cheat code that everyone should know is also present in this game. Yes, the mighty cheat codes that unlocks everything from level select to having all the weapons to not ever getting hurt. It's truly magnificent that even when this game is broken, it's still a **** ton of fun.

I remember back when I was a kid, I first started playing this and instantly I was sucked in. From the first level Port of Adia, you are just given the feeling of being thrown right into the chaos. Your first sight is a bunch of water, an enormous building, and explosions. Then you just come face to face with a dinosaur with nothing on you but a talon:

The funny thing about this game though is the fact that I actually didn't own another copy until very recently. Back when I had it as a kid, I never owned one copy of this game since then. And God bless Steam, because they do have a copy of it on there and it's very cheap. Not only that, but they've completely revamped it to the point that controlling the game is so ****ing smooth. It's actually made the game infinitely better than the original simply by changing a tiny few things and releasing it again. What a cool thing for the devs to do for their fans. I truly am at awe of it.

I started my first playthrough of this game literally a few months ago, and it was so cool to get sucked right back into it. The feeling of nostalgia and excitement filled me up so much that it was impossible to stop playing. I decided to go ahead and do the tutorial, first level, and the second level, and god damn the second level is so long. But it's worth it because every second counts. There's a feeling of tension as the soundtrack continuously goes with the level.

Speaking of which:

I'm gonna go on record as saying that I find this song to be the absolute best way to start a game that I have ever seen. It never gets old. It plays throughout the entire level and it keeps the tension high. You constantly feel like you're in danger and you truly are. But as you progress, you just feel more and more powerful and with the amazing voice actor who did Turok in this game, bravo to you. By far one of the coolest things that can happen is when you get a life in this game. You hear one of the coolest ways to say what this guy says. Here:

It's simply full of pure power, and when you get to that point, you feel it rushing through you. It's almost euphoric.

Basically what I'm getting at here is that if you haven't actually played this game, or you've never even heard of it, you need to change that right now. Do you want to play by far one of the coolest and most badass games to ever come out for the N64? Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is the game that fits the bill pretty hard. I'm serious guys. This game is legit my childhood and everything about it is what taught me to play games at my age now. It showed me patience, and unpredictability along with just being a really good first person shooter no less. So it basically taught me the lessons that I would have learned on my own anyway with gaming in general. And it's allowed me to continue loving games the way I do now. I'm fortunate to have a copy of this on Steam now and I can guarantee it will forever be in my collection until the day I die.
