Eexecute plays Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - Part 1 of 51


Yeah. You are indeed reading this correctly. This thing is going to be 51 videos long, making this the biggest one I've done so far.

Necromagenvion, I hope you're happy...this took quite a bit of effort and from the moment I hit the main menu I knew I would be happy with the results.

Let's begin.

Oh, and it's on Hard Mode. Again.


0:08 - After being shot at after the power was turned on in the first game, the iguana of Iguana Entertainment finally fights back. The wacky human teeth on the iguana just makes this unintentionally hilarious...
0:53 - Oh, snap, son. In case it isn't self-explanatory enough, (or if you clicked the link to the video without reading it), this is gonna be on Hard mode. Also, Eexecute fine-tunes the sensitivity of the aiming controls.

1:12 - The opening cutscene. You are instantly told by a blue-skinned alien woman named Adon about your quest to defeat the Primagen, as well as the tasks you'll need for the first stage. Also worth noting is that instead of playing as Tal'set, the hero of the original Turok, you're playing as Joshua Fireseed, the Turok from the Acclaim comics.

3:25 - ...and with a loud explosion, we're instantly rocked into reality and pulled right into the game.

3:30 - After having a chance at marvelling at the much-improved graphics, Eexecute takes a dive and finds some life force underwater, especially underneath the destroyed boat.

4:23 - We finally start going through the game, and Eexecute changes the weapon swap to normal speed.

4:41 - You can pick up normal arrows after hit a floor or wall now. Also, Eexecute blows up this barrel and picks up the first Power Cell, which will be needed for one of the stage objectives.
5:00 - There's a teleporter there, but we're not going to step on it quite yet. Instead, Turok enters the tunnel on the other side of the room to acquire the Pistol. Yes, Adon, I know what it is. You don't have to tell me. (Though of course, that is a nice touch.) He drops back down and places the Power Cell he just found into the Distress Beacon near the start of the level.

5:42 - Our first enemy of the game, as well as one of many death animations in the game once it's dead. These guys are known as Entrails, and they do everything from shooting at you to throwing grenades to basically giving you a hard time. Also, our first key of the game, too. This one is a Level 2 Key. Yeah, we're collecting keys again.

6:37 - Yeah, that appears again, too. Then again, he's playing the ROM. Which reminds me...get used to Eexecute running around in the dark, because the flashlight doesn't work in the ROM due to the emulator, either. D'oh!

6:46 - Since he's far enough away, he won't be able to do much to you...this time. Eexecute then takes another dive and gets an extra life amongst other items. Love how Joshua Fireseed says "I am Turok!" Seriously, I really wouldn't fuck with him.

8:40 - After hitting a switch to open the cage, Eexecute rescues the first of four children. Why can't the kid just run out of the cage? Sheesh...

Also the kid saying "Thank you, Turok!" reminds me of the children in Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive saying "Michael!" when you rescued them. Just saying.

9:40 - Now you get to see what the Entrails can do. They basically fire some sort of plasma energy at you in an attempt to fry you to ashes. Wonderful.

9:53 - Compies. Compsognathuses (Compsognathii?) finally make an appearance in this one. Why they weren't in the first game is beyond me. The Talon (which works like the knife in the first game) makes short work of them.

10:17 - An enemy hides behind cover. Believe it or not, AI exists in this game, so don't expect to blow through this thing like you did the first Turok game.
