100It's a beast-changing, head-slapping, jaw-ripping brawler with attitude and style and sex - always a good combination.
-
85A graphically superb experience with solid, although not as detailed fighting controls.
-
83The near endless replay value of searching out new and original juggle combos is alone almost enough to warrant a purchase.
-
82With astonishing new graphics, and a rock solid gameplay style that is mostly untouched from the previous games, Primal Fury was worth the wait.
-
81If you are looking for a standard fighter for your Gamecube, then this is your only option. Keep in mind though that there are far better fighters for other systems.
-
The AI within the game will tax most gamers, event the fight fans among you.
-
The actual game play in Bloody Roar isn't as deep as say, VF4, but on the flipside, it's a game that's easy to pick up and play. Though you certainly won't beat the game by being a button-masher.
-
Besides the unique zoanthropic morphing, this release won't do much for hardcore fighting fanatics, but as I've said before, it's a great release for newcomers to the ring. [Apr 2002, p.78]
-
80It's instantly accessible, but lacks the depth and attention to detail that would give it any real longevity...[but] significantly better than BR3 on the PS2. [Apr 2002, p.106]
-
The control is very fun and initiative, but does lack variety in the move sets.
-
It's good but lacks having any special feel. It's got all the ingredience of a fighter that we have all grown towards and learnt to love.
-
78Impressive graphics, a simple yet pleasant combat system and multiplayer fun balance out the issues of sound and gameplay depth.
-
78In terms of gameplay, longevity and room for growth, however, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury just doesn't have the legs to compare to the likes of Sega's "Virtua Fighter" series or Namco's "Tekken" and "Soul Calibur" games.
-
77It's a lot of fun to play -- tight control mixed with a fair amount of moves and combos (but not enough), and then the strategic element of beast transformations, proves very addictive.
-
76If you've played Virtua Fighter so many times that you can win a fight with your eyes closed, then I recommend buying Guilty Gear XX, but if you are a die hard 3D fighter fan, then you may as well try this one, if only as a rent.
-
Thanks to the new backgrounds, improved graphics, extra characters and loads of unlockable goodies it almost seems like a semi-sequel to BR 3.
-
It might not have the depth as some of the other fighting games, but it's still fun.
-
72It certainly looks great, and it can be fun.
-
71A solid, average fighter.
-
Despite lacking in the depth found in more established fighters, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is a complete blast to play.
-
70It does have...a kung-fu penguin! And what's cooler than that?
-
Feverishly pressing on a D-pad the size of a piece of Lucky Charms get tiring quickly. [Apr 2002, p.137]
-
The appeal of over-the-top effects, non-interactive finishing moves, and buxom ladies has a short expiration date. If you're a fan of the franchise, then this is the best Roar yet.
-
60If you're the type to enjoy that style of gameplay, we're honour-bound to point out "Super Smash Brothers: Melee," a superior game in about all aspects, and with infinitely more to do.
-
A fresh look, but this prizefighting animal is still a few hairballs away from becoming a champion.
-
58Put simply, BRPF thrives on button mashing. For those unfamiliar with the term, this means that even the most skilled player can fall victim to a first-timer's frenzied and haphazard button presses.
-
A graphical powerhouse, Bloody Roar offers action that's a bit too basic to be a knockout. [Apr 2002, p.147]
