Turok (2008 video game) - Achievement menu

A screenshot of the achievement menu on the Xbox 360 version of Turok.

Achievements are a feature introduced and available on the Xbox 360 version of Turok. This version of Turok can grant the player up to 1,000 Gamerscore through its 43 achievements, with 375 Gamerscore being available through 14 offline achievements, while the remaining 625 Gamerscore can be achieved through 29 co-op and multiplayer-based achievements.

Turok would launch before the PlayStation Network supported Trophies, and the PC version would never release on Steam, a storefront featuring achievement support on player profiles. Turok on these platforms would instead only feature a client-side, private list of achievements called Accomplishments, accessible through the game's main menu. These are nearly identical to the Xbox 360's version in terms of functionality, but won't be tracked on public player profiles. Accomplishments are marked with when unlocked in-game.

The release of the Velociraptor Pack would not see additional achievements added to the game, and with the shutdown of online services for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of Turok in 2011, online accomplishments are inaccessible for players on these platforms. The Xbox 360's online services currently remain accessible, as do the game's online achievements.

Unlike many contemporary shooter of its time, Turok featured unique descriptions and art for an achievement's locked and unlocked state, all of which are listed below.

Production notes[]

Originally the Xbox 360 version of Turok was set to feature an achievement called "Grab Bag," which required players to kill at least one enemy, one dinosaur, one teammate, and themselves, all in the same match. [1] This caused controversy on the internet as the achievement essentially rewarded players for team killing. Josh Holmes, Vice President of Propaganda Games, described the creation of the achievement by saying:

"What we found was that players playing their first match in Turok - almost every player - was (accidentally) killing himself, a team-mate and an enemy with a grenade or a Stick Bomb gun and so we thought 'hey, we should give them an achievement for that', as kind of a joke."
—Josh Holmes[1]

Holmes went on to say that developers were planning to release a patch removing Grab Bag if excessive team killing became a problem after launch. This, however, was not the case. At launch, Grab Bag had been modified so that one does not need to kill a teammate to unlock it.
