It's not too hard to pull off decent combos, and the moves are pretty easy to access, even on a keyboard. There's the usual mix of punches and kicks, or rather, bites and slashes. Gameplaywise, Primal Rage measures up pretty well. These range from flesh eating, to incinerating your opponent, or tearing various organs out. In addition to the range of lethal special moves, each player is also equipped with three fatalities (as has become the norm since Mortal Kombat), which allow you to finish your opponent in a number of vicious ways, all sure to corrupt the minds of gamesplayers everywhere.
These too, manage to be distinctly out of the ordinary, and although there are the standard fireball moves, each fighter is equipped with around 7 unique special moves. the animation is very smooth, and hardly jerky.Įach character is, as is now standard, is equipped with their own set of special moves, which inflict extra damage upon the luckless opponent. Anyone who's seen Jason and the Argonauts will know what I mean. The arm would be moved a little more, and captured again, till the whole sequence was completed. For example, to get a punch movement, a model's (built on a wire frame) arm would be moved, just a little, then a capture would be taken of the model.
The fighter's movements were captured from a number of stop motion 3d models, carefully created, and then moved into position.
While there is no Super VGA mode (which would invitably slow down the game), the backdrops and animation are more than adequate. Once you choose your character, you will be pitched into a fearsome battle, as each dino makes their bid for survival. The contenders range from Sauron, a flesh hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex, to Blizzard, an ape from the frozen wastes, each defending their own territory. Gone are the scantily clad amazon women and muscle bound men, and in their place are seven of the most fearsome dinosaurs and and apes this side of a Michael Crichton film, ready to fight with tooth and claw for world domination (what else?), taking place over seven different locations around New Urth. Hardly remarkable, but then again, these stories are rarely read more than once, and usually only provide the flimsiest of reasons for the combatants to lay into each other with great gusto.īut Primal Rage does have that 'spark of originality' that is so hard to find in many games. blah blah 'parallel dimension' 'imprisoned gods'. Chris McMullen of the Games Domain says it all about this excellent conversion of a hit coin-op fighting game: " Primal Rage has the standard plot.
