Primal Rage is a game is like Mortal Kombat with dinosaurs and giant gorillas. I loved it in the arcade but the Genesis version is horrendous. They graphics are terrible and the animation is very choppy. In fairness, there are games that are just too much for a 16-bit console to handle, and this is one of them. This game is good for some cheap fun for 5 minutes but you'll also be disgusted.
 Classic January 15, 2000

Primal Rage is an old classic. It is probably one of the first games to make heavy use of blood (and, beleive me, there is plenty of blood in this game). The game engine is solid and dependable. All of the game's seven fighters are prehistoric creatures, some more plausible than the others. The game sports a mind-boggling array of power moves and an even wider array of the possible combos. The collision system is accurate. The graphics are colorful and beautiful. A single gripe - most of the moves ( especially the combos) require incredible precisely times actions. Believe me, if you ever get the sequence for one of the overkills, you will break a couple of fingers trying to perform it ( ex.: 1+2+3+4 DDDU. Or how about 1+2 DDU +3+4 ATAT? By the ay, all of those are actual functional fatalities.).A solid game akin to Mortal Kombat, but slower and gorier.
