What the critics said
Mark Green of N64 Magazine described it as a "gigantic, gorgeous game that's packed with goodness and perfectly playable in every way", but noted that the game failed to topple Rare's Perfect Dark, an earlier first-person shooter that he felt the Turok 3 team was unlikely to better.
— N64 Magazine, 2000 (Mark Green)
GameSpot praised the game, stating that it "concentrates upon what made the Turok franchise a best-seller instead of attempting to one-up the competition, making it in many ways the best Turok yet".
— GameSpot, 2000
Writing for IGN, reviewer Fran Mirabella III praised the option for players to save the game at any time, saying that "you can no longer live in fear of playing for 45 minutes only to end up getting whacked before you reach a save beacon".
— IGN, 2000
Similarly, GamePro's The D-Pad Destroyer said that the game's "sloppy" frame rate discourages the use of "awesome" multiplayer options, especially in 4-player mode.
