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 ?!

Let the FUR fly! Morphing battles!

Lions, tigers and bears ... oh my! This game is a pretty straight forward "Mortal Kombat" style fighting game with a twist! And it's a rather bizarre twist at that ... your fighter can become an animal! And when he/she does morph into their inner beast they have very special powers. And the animals range from bats and tigers to chameleons, elephants, and insects. I always laugh when Alice turns into a big fluffy white rabbit and starts kicking tail like Peter Rabbit with road rage!

It's a well designed game with good graphics. The sounds are fine. And the controls are easy to learn. My only complaint is the combos are longer than Mortal Kombat's typical moves. It's definitely not as complex or breathtaking as Soul Calibur, but if you want simplicity and a twisted sense of humor you're in the right ring! Some characters are better than others in the fights, so it's a challenge to find them or use subpar characters to climb the ranks.

Fun, simple, and sort of twisted! What's not to love?

Bloody Roar goes on!

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.

At First I Was Skeptical...

I wasn't sure if the new Bloody Roar on GameCube would be worth getting. But I rented it and became totally hooked, and bought it immediately. Bloody Roar Primal Fury on GC is great. The graphics are really sweet - lots of particle effects, shadows, nice textures, high polygon counts, lots of trippy effects, 60 fps, etc. The levels look great, especially the new ones (old ones are re-modeled and look very good too). There are lots of modes and cheats to unlock. Awesome fighting styles, insane combos, and great looking beast moves and finishers. There's a brand-new addition- the hyper-beast move, which you can use at any point in the match (but if your beast meter isn't filled up then you'll lose some life). You'll turn into a huge version of your beast with extra power. There are a bunch of new levels and a few new characters (all of them are very cool). This game just totally rocks, it only has a couple bad points - the computer AI can be a little cheesy at times and the music could have been better. But besides that Bloody Roar Primal Fury is a really fun game with a great anime style. It distinguishes itself from other fighters with the unique beast transformations. What other fighting game can feature a Lion fighting an Iguana or a Penguin vs. a Bat?

I'd also like to say that button mashing isn't enough to be good at this game. Sure it's easy to start off by mashing the buttons, and you might do pretty good with it. But if you wanna be really good there's alot that you'll have to master- the defensive evasions and counters, tactical throws and combos, along with the beast and hyper beast moves provide for alot of depth in gameplay. And button mashing just won't be good enough if you wanna beat skilled opponents.

Let me finish by saying that the most well-respected Gaming Magazine in Japan, Famitsu, gave Bloody Roar Primal Fury their coveted Gold Award. Japan is the home of fighting games; it's where all the big fighting franchises get started. So for Bloody Roar Primal Fury to get such high praises in Japan, the home of fighting games, shows how good the game really is. Bloody Roar Primal Fury really deserves the Gold Award, I rate it 9 out of 10. A definite worthwhile purchase.

"Bloody Roar: Primal Fury" is a series of it's own sort and with it's own taste. Judged by other fighting games, this one lacks in a couple fields. Although this is true, and fans of the fighting genre might slightly look down upon it, this game is a very "self absorbed" one. Meaning: That it's rank is somewhere in the middle of the "food chain", because wiether you like it or not will depend on what you find good and bad in a game. I started playing with the third addition; And even though I didn't know the background of the series, I got to enjoying it, and in the end I was hooked. What drew me to this game is what others find a downfall. It's simplicity. Because although the ever-popular Soul Calibur series is much more advanced, it puts more stress on the players than those who have played Bloody Roar. In conclusion, this game's simplicity is it's highest or lowest factor, depending on the reviewer.

Bloody Roar Primal Fury is a very cool game. There is a special meter for your beast change. When the meter is full, you are able to change into a beast. Different characters turn into differrent types of beasts. This is probably the greatest fighting game for the Nintendo Gamecube.

This is great

This game is great, I played the game every way possible, and I didn't find blood or suggestive themes, (wich the esrb said this game had) and I'm a girl that hates realy wiolent stuff so I would probly make a big deal if there was anything like blood. I love this game, its completly clean, and it's extremly fun.

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?

The best game ever!

First off I'd like every on to know that Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is the best game out for the Gamecube. I have no clue why everyone treats BRPF like dirt. Anyway, you begin the game with 12 awesome characters such as Shina, the leopard, Alice, the rabbit, and Bakuryu, the mole. My personal favorite is Bakuryu with his famous disappearing attack. All other characters are good too,( except for Uriko, the half cat).
Graphic wise it's all good. From the characters to stages there's nothing but detail and smooth lines and textures.
Most attacks are pull-offable, not like the ones where you sit there for an hour trying to execute it one move.
Sound is pretty good too, but personally I don't play the game to hear the music, I do to play the game.
The coolest thing about BRPF are the animal transformations. From a lion, two tigers, a leopard, and even a giant beetle. Even better are the awesome beast drive moves you can pull-off to totally demolish your opponent.
The only downside to this game is that two characters have the same transformation and I would expect there to be a dragon or bear in the bunch.
The next time you buy a game you should deeply consider this game before any others and remember that what people say about this game being bad is NOT true.

Very Good!

I bought this game after renting it, because it is totally awesome! First off, I own 4 video games and when I rent them, then like them, I buy them. Which means that all my games are totally [awesome!]
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury is very reccomended to everybody to rent and try it. Here are my rating features:

Controls: B The combos can be very tough but others easy. Otherwise the game is fun for beginners.

Graphic- A+ The graphics are great! The Japanese animation in the beginning is very detailed. Probably the best graphics I saw for a game.

Interest of Fun: A I owned this game for 2 weeks so far and it is still very fun!

Theme: B+ Very good for the plot of a fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, for example, has no plot besides fighting for no reason.

In total, I love this game!

My favorite character is Xion, The Unborn.
