A Fun Game, but feels like a Mortal Kombat Rip-off
Unlike it's more famous breathern, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, which are set in either the modern world or a mystical other demension, Primal Rage's setting is a mixture between the Prehistoric Era and a Post-Apocoypitic Setting. The players take control of one of eight main characters, who are battleing for control of the remnants of Earth, known in the game as "Urth." However, this is the game's only original area.
Primal Rage's major flaws are it's bad controls, especally when it comes to preforming special movies, each of which require a complicated series of button presses, and the fact that the game play itself feels like a complete rip off. The games characters are also a fatal flaw, where in games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, you are given a wide variety of charcters such as Ninjas, Soldiers, Monks, etc. However Primal Rage's character design harkens back to the days of the Dinosaur Craze, with characters that look more like at home in a Jurassic Park movie then in a fighting game.
Dispite it's flaws, Primal Rage is a decent fighting game, however the flaws are often times too much to bare, there fore it's a game probably best left alone until it reaches the bargain bin.
