magine you're driving through the mountains at a heightened elevation and your ears clog up. You don't realize it, but you're hearing isn't as crisp and clear as it should be. Now imagine you're back on flat land and you've just yawned. You know that feeling that overtakes you when your ears open up and sound suddenly becomes crisper, clearer and louder?

Turok 2 looks brilliant in low-resolution mode, but once gamers have seen a dinosaur gruesomely explode in high-resolution detail, well, there's simply no going back.
