Primal Rage
Primal Rage was a game for arcade systems and various game consoles. I had this game as a child for the Sega Genesis. I loved it! I loved the extreme violence, the quirky idea, the simple gameplay, and it’s party value. After over ten years, I’ve recently acquired another Sega Genesis and given the opportunity to play this game again. It takes me back and keeps me entertained even all these years later. I find the grotesque humor as funny as I did then. I find the extensive gore just as enthralling as once upon a time. The simple gameplay intrigues me just as it did once. And the idea of dinosaurs killing each other for control of Urth is still a fantastic idea to me. Needless to say, this raises yet another question in my mind. Why the hell didn’t they remake this game?! If they could update the graphics and maintain the humor and gore without fucking it up with a stupid story or voice acting or shitty controls, it would be a hit! Tons of characters, extensive violence, funny attacks, awesome levels, this game is practically already made to be the next great fighting game of the new generation of consoles. But, unfortunately, the world wants more of it’s Halo and Final Fantasy. Fighting games have to be long running series to even be worth looking at anymore…
