    This title's great story, realistic visuals and immersive game play will keep you glued to the screen for hours.

    I would not call Primal an innovative title, but it has lots to do and TONS of different powers, which the game doles out just about when you start wanting something new.

    A pretty face may get you in the door, but interactive ignorance will get you thrown out the window.

    Somebody up there probably regards this as a trailblazing taste of high-concept, one-size-fits-all blockbuster games to come. Consider that, and know true Primal fear. [March 2003, p.92]

    This is one of the better games for PS2. However you get lost very easily, the graphics are great although the camera gets a bit annoying at times. But other than that its a great game, i just sugest that you should rent before you buy.… Expand

    The story in this game is one of the best iv'e seen in a long while. The graphics are impressive for PS2, and both characters are very enjoyable. why, if the fighting wasn't horribly horribly repetitive, and i didnt get lost so often....this game would recieve a perfect 10!… Expand
