As of March 2008, the game holds an aggregate score of 70% on [[Gamerankings]]<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930158.asp?q=Turok Turok Reviews<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and a 69 out of 100 on [[Metacritic]].<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/turok Turok (Xbox360: 2008): Reviews<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In terms of individual reviews, ''Turok'' has received a 9/10 from ''[[Play (US magazine)|Play]]'' magazine and a 7/10 from both the ''[[Official Xbox Magazine]]'' and the ''[[Official PlayStation Magazine (Australia)|Official PlayStation Magazine]]''. Both praised multiplayer but commented on the "''sketchy enemy awareness''" and "''dodgy textures''".<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930158.asp Turok Reviews<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> [[Game Trailers]], which gave the game 8.3/10, highlighted the game's use of the Unreal 3 Engine, believing it to be "the best use of the tech outside of Epic's own efforts" and praising the modeling and animation of the dinosaurs in particular.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30162.html Gametrailers.com - Turok - Review<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> [[1up.com]] gave the game a score of C+, specifically complaining about its stealth mechanics, the use of camera shaking, and occasional graphical glitches in the [[PlayStation 3]] version.<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3165795 Turok PS3 Review Index, Turok Playstation 3 Reviews]</ref> Gameplasma gave the game a 7 out of 10 claiming that "the storyline is mediocre" and it is "forgettable".<ref>[http://www.gameplasma.com/reviews.php?do=view&id=411 Turok Review | Xbox 360 | GamePlasma.com :: Gaming to the Next Level! :: GamePlasma Live BETA<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ''[[Hyper (magazine)|Hyper]]'''s Yuri Spadeface commends the game for its "solid frame rate". However, he criticised the "frustrating level design and average execution".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Spadeface|first=Yuri|date=March 2008|title=Turok|journal=[[Hyper (magazine)|Hyper]]|publisher=[[Next Media]]|issue=173|pages=64|issn=1320-7458}}</ref> ''Turok'' received 3/5 from ''[[X-Play]]'', commenting on its aim-assist being woefully inadequate both in multiplayer and single-player, but praised its graphics and "outlook".<ref>[http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1711/Turok.html G4 - X-Play - Reviews<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In its G-phoria episode, it won the category of "Game Deserves An [[Uwe Boll]] Movie". [[Gamepro]] magazine reviewed the game, saying that "''Turok'' isn't good enough to single handedly repair the franchise's tarnished reputation, but it is good enough that you'll want to forgive some of its ancestors' sins." They gave the graphics a 4.0, the sound a 3.75, the control a 4.75, and the fun factor a 3.75 out of 5.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}} ''[[Game Informer]]'' magazine reviewed ''Turok'', and gave it a 7/10, stating "the ecosystem environment does not live up to what it was supposed to or should be. Minor problems like a paper thin story, the constant knocking of the camera from explosives and dinosaurs, the poor multiplayer and poorly spaced checkpoints, drag down what otherwise is a decent shooter." However, they liked the game for its voice talents including Powers Boothe and Timothy Olyphant. It was reviewed by Ben and Bertz, who both agreed on the same score.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} Elsewhere, ''Turok'' was criticised to a further extent. Honest Gamers awarded the game 5/10, citing the unforgiving checkpoint system, badly-contextualized story and poor AI as reasons for the mediocre mark;<ref>[http://www.honestgamers.com/systems/content.php?review_id=7348&platform=PC&abr=PC&gametitle=Turok Honest Gamers: Turok PC Review]</ref> and PC Gamer UK awarded the game 57%, calling it "weary and uninspired."
