Review:
Bloody
Roar: Primal Fury/Bloody Roar: Extreme is an enhanced version of Bloody
Roar 3 for the Nintendo Gamecube & Xbox, boasting 16 characters in all.
Not did they update the characters and tweak the gameplay, graphically the
game has actually improved quite a bit, with more detailed character models,
textures, particle effects, and even improved animation. Primal Fury also
adds a few new backgrounds which look decently impressive, aside from some
generic polygonal background geometry.
It's the eye of the
tiger...
The one player
game is a breeze for the most part, aside from the sometimes cheap AI,
and some slightly interesting unlockables can be obtained by playing through
it. The overall gameplay still lacks depth, but for anyone who may have
enjoyed Bloody Roar 3 the slightest bit, Primal Fury is the definitive
version of the game.
Thanks Xion... for not
turning into a giant fluffy thing.
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury animates
fairly well but severely lacks "ouch" factor on most occasions... collision detection
just isn't there. Music & sound effects do their job and are by far the best
of the series. Stage designs are a mixed bag and are on the generic side, but
are also the best the series has seen.

Most hardcore 3D fighting game players were
devoting their precious hours of gaming to the likes of Soul Calibur 2, Virtua
Fighter 4: Evolution, and/or Tekken 4. Although
casual gamers may find some variety in Bloody
Roar: Primal Fury, the gameplay just isn't in the same class as other
fighting games that were out at the time. ~F.Yagami,
