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

This is sweet for a fighting game, the basic story is that people enter a tournament and beat the heck out of each other to determine who is the ultimate martial arts champine. Except there is one small twist, they may transform into "fighting beasts" (such as wolves, bats, lions etc.) at will. The coolest part about this game, is that when in beast mode, you can use a super attack or Beast Drive to do severe damage to your opponent. It is basically your person's signature move.

This game doesn't nessicarily have a primary objective, but it's very, very, very fun to play. It's the first traditional fighting game for the G.C.N., and the graphics are sensational, so I'd recomend this game to anyone who is smart enough to get a GameCube.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Bloody Roar: Primal Fury for the G.C.N. an 8 out of 10.

Fighting with style.

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?
