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: Primal Fury" For GC

"Bloody Roar: Primal Fury" For the Gamecube is a large leap for the series. This game's most spectacular and addicting, (Or the very thing that makes it tacky and stupid) is it's theme. If you like the thought of humans fighting with an alter ego animal side, along with a japanese flair, then you'll love it. For me, it's very refreshing in comparison to overly serious games like "Tekken 4" or "Soul Calibur 2". And it has a lot more meaning than "Super Smash Brother's Melee". It's expansively superior in it's noble yet somewhat innocent theme. If you don't like the theme, than I extremely advise you not to get this game or any one of it's incarnations because they're all the same in that way.

BLOODY ROAR: PRIMAL FURY: An addition to the unique series.

"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.

Realistic it's not, but it sure is FUNFUNFUN!

Somewhere in May, maybe June, There was this 'small' fighting game released for the GameCube. Since I'm a huge fan of fighting games, I spent hours reading reviews and downloading screenshots, to see if it was worth a buy. But, according to pretty much every reviewer, the game was only fun for a few hours. A friend of mine even gave it a 4.1! So, with pain in my heart, I let it go. When I saw it in a shop, for little to no money, I decided to give it a go, and buy the game. After three days of non-stop gaming, I could only say one thing: boy, where those reviewers wrong! Bloody roar is one of the best fighting games I've ever played, with the coolest moves ever, shoving Soul Calibur aside.
GRAPHICS.
Incredible, I'd say. While the gameplay is fast and fluid, the animation of the characters is perfect, no slowdown at all, and that with the most beautiful characters ever. For example, when you look deep into Shina's eyes, you'll actually see the reflection of the light, and it's different in every stage. Talking 'bout stages, those aren't that special, sometimes a bit too small, but no major letdown. Overal: 9
GAMEPLAY.
Easy, but enough tough moves to let the better player win, although there's the occasional exception where the button masher wins perfect. This is sometimes annoying, but most of the people will be able to handle that. The game is fast, and the moves are (like said before) very cool. Especially the beast drives, which you can do when in beast form, are cooler than anything you've ever seen in a game. Overall: 9
REPLAY.
Tons of it. When alone, you'll play this game for hours unlocking things in Arcade and survival, and when with a friend, you'll expand that time with at least 20-30 hours. Overal: 9
CONCLUSION: Very good fighting game, best one for the 'Cube right now, but only buy it if it's cheap, for Soul Calibur 2 will be out pretty soon, and we all know how that's gonna be...
Nevertheless, rent this game at least once, and don't return it, until you've executed every single beast drive, believe me, it's worth the wait (my personal favourites are shina's, bakuryu's and Alice's).
SCORE: 88, not perfect, but - for me - close enough to give it 5 stars
