A meteor struck the Earth, and caused great chaos. Seven gods from ancient times awoke, and are now attempting to take control of the post-apocalyptic world. Primal Rage is a one-on-one fighting game featuring dinosaurs and giant apes as the fighters. The graphics are done with digitized stop-motion animation. Gameplay is similar to Mortal Kombat in that it is viewed from a side perspective, and features deadly finishing moves at the end of the match.

Primal Rage is a cheesy 90s fighting game where dinosaurs and apes beat the snot out of each other, and honestly, it's still a blast. The stop-motion animation is charmingly janky, the moves are over-the-top, and there are even secret gross-out fatalities. It's short and definitely unbalanced, but if you're craving some nostalgic prehistoric brawls with friends, Primal Rage is worth booting up.

This game is butt ugly and plays horribly. The dinosaurs look like something Chris Chan would make with model magic. Clayfighter is ass and this plays just as poorly and personally this game makes me happy the dinosaurs went extinct.

This gets a half star boost solely for the dope-ass character designs. You bet I loved the idea of a fighting game with dinosaurs and weird monsters as a kid. Then the execution leaves a lot to be desired, though. Doing special abilities is like trying to unlock a safe! And while the visuals may look impressive, the animations just aren't as smooth as something animated in a 2D space (hello, Steet Fighter!). Interesting novelty, and fun to play in the arcade, but outshined by its rivals.

I didn't much care for this game i might have respected it more if i played it back in the 90s but it just sucks to be fair the other fighting games are the hell of alot better. I don't know why I never bothered with this game back in the day must be popular though it has a port on every console from that generation, I just couldn't get into it.

Like Clayfighters, another generic fighting game that was elevated by awesome characters and visuals. The blood and violence was exciting to a young me

The most epic shitty game of all time
