I own Bloody Roar, Bloody Roar 2, and very soon this one (I have a PSX and a Gamecube). If you are a fighting game fan, than you should buy it.

Let me just say that this game is going to be awesome, Activision now has full rights to make it and it has 3 Bloody Roar games to improve on the enhanced power of the Gamecube. This is true when you look at the incredible new effects and graphics. Also included are destructible walls, 2 new characters, and tons of modes for play. What more could you ask for?

Well done Cube !

Nice graphics. Moves very smoothly. A very well put together game for game cube. This game is very addictive. You could just sit and play this for hours. I saw the demo in the store, and, I knew I had to have it.You probably can't get any closer to the real arcade game, unless you actually go out and spend some quarters. This is definately a great way to spend a rainy or boring day. Worth the money, indeed.

The freaks come out at night !

The Bloody Roar series was one of the most successful 3D fighting games ever with its solid gameplay mechanics, along with some of the most amazing moves, beast transformations and supers, breathtaking graphics, and a nice selection of fighters to choose from. If anyone has heard of a game called Bloody Roar 3 for the PlayStation 2, you should feel right at home with this stellar Gamecube fighter ! If anyone knows, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is an upgraded version of Bloody Roar 3 on PlayStation 2, but that doesn't mean it's just another port. There are a whole lot of improvements done on this version. The graphics look so great, so real, and soooooo sweet, it's not even funny, and it takes full advantage of the Gamecube's graphical technology ! If you didn't like how the PS2 version looked like, the GC version of the game is quite the looker, and it will amaze even the best of those XBOX ownin' Gamecube haters out there ! The characters look extremely stunning ! From smooth movements to true-to-life facial expressions ! You name it ! The stages look perfect ! Still, like in the first three games, you get to fight in a ring with walls, but for the fist time ever, the grounds can break, due to the impact of hard falls, and you can even knock your opponent off the ring without having to kill your opponent, but that happens only on one stage. The special effects of the game is without a doubt, the best looking in the game, especially when the fighters transform into powerful beasts. The Sound to this game, is very impresive. The English voice acting is very accurate, and you'll swear that you're watching an anime. Not to mention, the sounds of a transformed beast fighter. The background music still retains the same Japanese-American Rock 'N Roll instrumental music, but that's nothing to complain about. In fact, the music is very cool and it's too unforgetable, if you like hearing game music all the time (if you wanna get the best videogame soundtrack, get the Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack !). The gameplay and controls still remains faithful to the series. It took me some time to get used to the control sequences of the Gamecube's controller, and then I got used to it. Some may complain that the gameplay is a little slow when it comes to pulling off moves, well that's partially true, but if you're used to playing these kinds of fighters, you won't be disappointed ! As for the selection of characters, you get a solid choice of new and old characters like Long: The Tiger (My favorite), Stun: The Insect, Xion: The Unborn (My second favorite), Alice: The Rabbit, Yuriko: The Half Beast, Bakuryu: The Mole (My third favorite), Shenlong: The Tiger, Jenny: The Bat, Shina: The Leopard, Yugo: The Wolf, and more from where that came from. To those of you who never played any of the Bloody Roar series, I suggest that you start off small by playing Bloody Roar 1 and Bloody Roar 2 on PlayStation, and if you're used to it, you're ready for both Bloody Roar 3 for PS2 and Bloody Roar: Primal Fury for Gamecube ! Aw, Hell ! You don't really have to do all that to get used to it ! But that's just a suggestion ! It's not like you have to do it anyway ! You can just play this game and feel fond of the series just like that (it happened to me when I never played the first Guilty Gear but mastered Guilty Gear X on Import Dreamcast) ! If you think that the Bloody Roar series reek, including this one, then you must be out of your mind ! Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is the best Gamecube fighter out there ! Not to mention, the definitive version of Bloody Roar 3 ! If you love fighting games with people transforming into bloodthirsty animals and kicking the living tar out of each other, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is a title that should not be left out in the shelves !

AND WHO SAYS THAT THE GAMECUBE IS A KIDS ONLY MACHINE ?!

An Artistic Vortex of Seizure-Enticing Clutter

How many Fighting games currently compile the GameCube's library? So far, in it's undersized life-span only one and a definitely adrenaline-pumping masterpiece at that. Although Super Smash Bros. Melee is a splendid title that bests its processor in every virtual way, it lacks the fundamentals of a hardcore, garishly flashy beat-em-up. Hudson is going to bring just that beat-em-up bouquet by localizing Bloody Roar: Primal Fury. Comprised of every bit of Bloody Roar 3 on the PS2, Primal Fury is a slightly enhanced version. Finished in a fantastic graphical nimbleness, the GameCube's edition easily makes a name for itself. Eighting, the makers behind the game, brings a whole new dimension to their steadily growing franchise.

Packed with new stages, characters, and extra gameplay modes, Primal Fury actually seems more of a straight-from-the bloody-box sequel rather than a rehash of some marginal port. If you are skeptical about the GameCube's control scheme, do not cower young mates, for it handles the sweaty brawls particularly well. For those who have had no account on a Bloody Roar title, the emphasis of it is essentially being a true 3D button-smashing bedlam. Expect gut-wrenching combos at outrageous miles per hour, plus the techno, guitar riffs ripping throughout the stages. The difference from the Bloody Roar series to that of other fighters, is that Bloody Roar has a feature that lets players transform their characters into a superior animal form -- a Hyperbeast! Each character has a specific animal transformation, from an insect to a lion to other ferocious beasts. When in Hyperbeast mode, deadlier medleys of combos and strength are unbuckled. Augmenting a nice twist to the fray, this time in Primal Fury, Hyperbeast is no longer activated by filling up on a meter, but can be activated whenever the player fancies. But, at the cost of the player's health. A definite strategic element, Primal Fury is very balanced and the change is much appreciated to thwart a brainless remake of the PS2 original. The fighting system aside, Primal Fury has a rooster of 16 playable fighters, nine engrossing environments, and neck-to-neck combat that has characters on screen look like two juggernauts springing into Rated-R action. Ideally, playing through the game and its available modes unlocks extra modes. Within time all areas such as Time Attack, Team Battle, Training Mode, and Extra Multiplayer ones will be freely accessible.

On a graphical mark, Primal Fury is an artistic vortex of seizure-enticing clutter. Overhauling the PS2's graphical engine, the work on Primal Fury is apparent with its beautifully rendered world. From the brightly polished backgrounds, such as Chinese temples, an aquarium, a freeway in twilight, a laboratory, and much more, the game is crafted in an aesthetic fluidity. Heightened with visual upgrading, all the stages and characters have been refined into an expansion of quicker loading processing and a higher amount of detail on the combat side. Running on a breakneck 60fps like most GameCube games, its a wonder how the system can mange to trap all the scenery and percolate spectacular lighting effects to the littlest facet. It's truly an environment felt in an extremely slick costume that is veritable to the achievement of Primal Fury's enchantment.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Super Smash Bros. Melee has a bleak fight against a predominate opponent who is best suited for the GameCube, but I can verbalize how much praise and hurrah Bloody Roar: Primal Fury falls under. Adding a dazzling fighter in all its combo juggling and loud bone-snapping battles, this game is welcomed onto the GameCube library. With simplistic controls, a bunch of moves to master, and not to mention a satisfying number of wacky fighters to choose from, Primal Fury is streamlined enough to grab your own bloody copy.

Primal Fun!!

I first want to say I give this game a 4 1/2. It is truly a piece of eye candy. The graphics are excellent and there is so much going on it you have to watch someone else play it to see all what's going on. I just got the game yesterday and it is going to take awhile to figure out all the different combos and specials (I'm not a great player but I love vids) As good as Soul Calibur?-No. Better than Virtua Fighter 3?-Yes. As good as Smash Bros.?? Hmmm no but definately a keeper for me.

Yeah, unlike everyone else here...

I've actually gotten my hands on this game, and let me tell you; if you like fighting games, you'll probably like this. More into Capcom fighters? You'll hate it. Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is far superior to the previous Playstation/PS2 incarnations, both in graphics and gameplay. The technical side of the game is, as usual, easy to grasp. Too easy. You can punch, kick, grab, and morph into your monster (the same button's used for the monster's special attack). That's about as deep as it gets; this game's pretty much a no-brainer. A button-masher is just as likely to win in a fight than a seasoned Street Fighter Alpha 3 veteran, and usually at a bit of an advantage. But the graphics are BEAUTIFUL, coming dreadfully near Dead or Alive 2 caliber. Almost. If you like a game that's fun to play, if somewhat simplistic, gopher it. I always enjoyed games from this series; this one happens to be the best in the set. PS2 players: Be envious. The "Gaycube" pinned it down.

Eye Popping Action Fighting at its Best!

I actually have this game. I am not doing this review because I think the game will be fun. I know most of the facts. I liked this game quite a lot. The gameplay was fun, fast, and furious. The "many" modes of play are almost exactly the same, so I can't say they are much to talk about. The graphics are incredibly crisp and well-done. This game is not incredibly fun as a one-player game, but how many fighting games really are? I really don't think the arcade mode is anything special, and the CPU is occasionally incredibly hard and sometimes does the same move over and over. This game's multi-player versions are great. Who wouldn't want to pulverize a friend as a normal person or an amazingly detailed beast? I do wish there were more ways for more than one person to play, but I guess I'll have to live with it. I enjoy this game immensely and like the fact that there are so many moves. Bloody Roar is nothing great in the sound department. Some of the voices are stupid, some are hilarious and really very ugly. The music isn't very memorable. I liked this game more than Tekken, because I prefer a totally immersive and unrealistic battle with incredible moves impossible to a normal person. Overall, this game is a lot of fun and worth the money if you like games from the fighting genre.

De Ja Vu?

Okay, first of all, this is an awesome game. However, if you played Bloody Roar 3 (on the PS2) too much, then this game will have horribly low replay factor. You'll play it non-stop for maybe a day, and never play it again. It's basically a remake of BR3, except with a few new additions: new characters, and cheats! (which can all be unlocked very quickly) Other than that, it is BR3. If you haven't played BR3 much or at all, then buy this game and play it for weeks, maybe even months. (maybe) Do be wawrned: it has a relatively low replay factor. Everything is too easy to unlock. If you own or played BR3 too much, rent this game, but do not buy it. Buy VF4 (if you have PS2) But, overall, this is a great game, but unfortunately the moves are all the same: everything is the same. But, still, a good game.

The Biggest Thing For GameCube ever!

Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is the best game ever. I know because I have it and I can't get away from it. The 3D action and high powered fighting moves makes the game perfect. The thing I like about it is that the characters turn into beastly animals. Also in the game there are many modes you can try out. If it would be your first time playing a Bloody Roar game you should go to the training mode to get your skills up. It will probably take for a beginner a half a hour to master the game because the moves are easy to control...
