 The Nintendo 64 version of Turok 2 was a critical and commercial success, selling more than one million copies in the United States. Next Generation praised the game, noting that "the artistic range is remarkable" and that "GoldenEye 007 now seems simple" when comparing the artificial intelligence of enemies. Game Revolution highlighted the "tremendous" length of the levels, but also admitted that "You 'll occasionally find yourself running around in circles for hours trying to figure out where to go next. This may be enjoyable for people who like puzzles and long gameplay, but it is aggravating for more action-oriented players."
