This is the game that I stopped like being a Turok fan, as a teen, I really liked the game, but in retrospective, the game is very unfair at times, weird level design choices and the AI knows where you are even you're not spotted yet, especially when they sit behind a automatic weapon thing, they destroys you in mere seconds... also the game was prone to crashing, especially the GameCube version, who the heck knows why. Only Acclaim Entertainment knows.

Better game than the first game. Lack of costumes, but understandable, there is a bunch of third-parties involved to make that a reality again. Netcode is still peer-2-peer, basically means, the fastest (or rather the slowest) player dictates the game speed, and it can be REALLY slow at times. Finally slopes!

Oh boy, this one... heavy cases of "Executive Meddling", if you wanna call it that way.
Contra:
- Nonsensical monologues from Samus about (nonsensical) things
- Basically the plot resolves itself without Samus, cause everyone else solved it, except you, the player.
- Nonsensical controls... a D-Pad for 3D controls. Yeah sure... Ever heard about the "Nunchuk"? (Sakamoto insisted of the Wii-Mote only control)
- The "Deleter" case (The "Deleter" dies off-screen, without mentioning ever again, after it happened)
- The baby
- The game introduces the authorization thing, for no reason at all (She is basically fully equipped)
- Power Bombs at the beginning (No, you can't use em)
- Going through heated areas without heat-preventing suit, which would be - in every other Metroid game - the wrong way, but this game is special... you have to.
- Gravity Suit is not a suit, but it's glowing. Why??
- Quick Time Events s**k
Pro:
- Movie cutscenes
