  1. A Contra-style side-scrolling action battler. [Oct 2002, p.198]
  2. If you can withstand the surprisingly hard difficulty level, you'll find that Turok: Evolution is actually quite a good side-scroller.
  3. The game's tedious hit detection scheme is frustrating and at most times it feels like the game is cheating you.

    A great, classic-style side-scroller, the kind you rarely find anymore, bringing back memories if such classics as Contra and Blackthorne. Difficult, and the Boss stages could use some work, though. Expand
