The two things I enjoyed most about this game are the rocket launcher and the flamethrower.
I think the rocket launcher kicked ass! Especially with its secondary fire where it shreds the enemy down (the only drawback was it was too slow to get this shot out).
The flamethrower lets out a quick burst of fire before it streams forward to roast the enemy. It had pretty good distance too. You could even see heatwaves and smoke rising around the fire. The rumble effect of the controller with the flamethrower adds to the effect of the weapon. It's cool just using the thing to burn your surroundings.
The 'death animation' when an enemy is on fire is one of the best I've seen so far in a game utilizing a flamethrower.
Show me a game with a better flamethrower.
Too bad these two things could not mask the horrible game that it is.

Whew.
I picked this up for a whopping $5.99 a couple weeks ago and have been slowly working my way through the game.
It's nice to know I wasn't going crazy when I discovered half my weapons missing between one level and the next.
I also can't figure out how to walk back down ladders without falling flat on my face. I'll just chalk it up to a game-bug and play the crap out of my $5.99 game.

It gets very repetitive around the middle, sure you go to bigger locations but you're still doing the same things you were back in the first few levels.
I've just skipped this one outside of rental.. which is more expensive than grunter or gizmo paid...

The only good thing from buying this a while back with those Best Buy coupons is that my 2 year old son is all over dinosaurs, and he saw the box at the store and walked around with it the whole time. I told him that we had it at home, which was sad honestly telling my son that I bought that piece of crap.
He occasionally goes to the games/DVD furniture piece and points to it and says "DInosaur, Dinosaur". The only thing that I can then do is suffer a bit while I play this game until he forgets about the dinosaurs.

Turok was so bad, despite playing and beating all the N64 predecessors, I stayed far away from this terrible version.
Of course, according to Acclaim, poor sales of this game (across all platforms) is not because of the game being almost unplayable, but soley because of Nintendo.
