Unlike the previous titles that game was a multiplatform title and sure enough it was buggy and just plain BAD. Turok Evolution however was widely considered to be total horsesh!t and the game is found in bargin bins all over the place. The first three Turok games were N64 exclusives so they made good use of the N64 hardware and although I wouldn't call them classics they were regarded as good games and worth checking out. I agree with you and your post got me thinking about a once popular game series: Turok. "In my experience I've found that many multi-platform games suck. How are games designed for the sole reason of making a fast buck supposed to compete with that? We simply expect more. We're spoiled by the amount of effort, genius, and talent placed behind games made by the big N. We care about what we play and we want it to be good. So what I'm really trying to say is that I think multiplatform games don't do well on the GC because we simply expect better games. Granted, these games are all descent but the point is they don't think about what they're buying, they just get it because that's what everybody else is getting. Everyone mindlessly goes out and buys Tony Hawk, Madden, GTA, and a few other heavily marketed games that may or may not be good. If you look at any casual gamers collection you will most likely find a similar set of games. You don't get stuff of this quality from run of the mill pop-culture games. I was amazed at how good the game was and have become hopelessly addicted to it. Recently I threw in the Zelda collectors disc that came with my GC and started playing Ocarina of Time for the first time (I never owned a N64). Games like Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, and Super Smash Brothers Melee.
I bought a GameCube not so I could play general run of the mill crap, but so that I could play the genius games that can only be found on it.
Like I said, there are exceptions but this is what generally seems to happen. The reason is simple - the developers typically write a game for the lowest common denominator (the PS2) because it's easier to add a couple extra textures for the more powerful systems than it is to dumb it down for the Playstation 2. There are exceptions like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Max Payne, and Tony Hawk but overall I have low expectations when I look at a multiplatform game. In my experience I've found that many multi-platform games suck.
