Primal Rage

"If you ever wanted to eat a game cartridge, this is the game cartridge to eat! This is almost as bad as The Chris Wylde Show."

Game Play-
2/10

This game has limited moves available to it and only 7 fighters, all almost exactly alike. there are a limited number of moves by the characters, and they're also basically the same. The result of this is lazy developers making a piece of crap which gives crap a bad name. (How could you?)

The game has one unique feature, if that. Your score is measured in worshipers, or people that root for your domination of the planet, which can be attained by defeating all 7 characters.

They managed to put a hidden bowling mini-game in this, which is also awful. The control in that is bad, and if you want a fighter with a bowling mini-game, go with Tekken Tag Tournament.

Control-
1/10

The control in this game is just awful. The buttons take a second to respond, the moves by your enemy can fail from close and yet succeed from far, and a limited variety of moves makes this game look like it was developed by potheads.

Graphics-
2/10

I don't even know where to begin here. The framerate is extremely choppy and skips a whole bunch. The characters don't even fit in with the background, and the backgrounds are the only thing preventing me from giving this section a one. The dinosaurs all look alike, and the rest of the graphical effects are extremely cheesy. And the patheticness of the detail used is up in the high...areas. Very little detail was used in the design of everything. It looks like they subtracted the graphics of Mortal Kombat from Killer Instinct, and then added some crap (Negative numbers) to the result of that.

Audio-
1/10

The music in this game was just awful. It didn't fit the ****ing game at all, and managed to sound crappy, even by Genesis standards. The music is also unmemorable and fortunately is barely noticable.

The sound effects in this were just as bad. It sounded ground-up and just in an awful form of digitizing. It also doesn't sound like what they're supposed to sound like in the game.

Enjoyability-
1/10

Unless you intend to buy this game for either completing your Genesis game collection or burning it to hell, don't get it. I'm not talking gibberish here. Either listen to what I'm saying now, or pay the consequences.

Score-1.42/10

Percentage of Gaming Goodness-14% (Piece of ****)

Doodleheimer's Recommendationitivity

Don't buy this game unless you intend to scare someone on Halloween. It makes a wonderful prank, but this is better off buried, or better yet, thrown in the sewer.
