The game is horribly imbalanced towards team dino, but even this feels oddly right given the fact that, well, I’d have my money on the dinosaurs too. They look great, they play great and they’re even pretty fun to play against. If you’re looking for a shooter to really sink your teeth into (no pun intended), this isn’t the game for you, but for those looking for a bit of short term, dinosaur themed fun, well, this janky but surprisingly likeable mess might well be worth a look.ĭespite the fact that this game is something of a technical mess, the one thing it does extremely well is the dinosaurs. Primal Carnage: Extinction is one of the games that, while fundamentally flawed, remains largely entertaining despite its array of technical issues, complete lack of balancing and disappointing shortage of content. The whole ‘mediocre’ thing might sound immediately disappointing, and to an extent it is, but despite, Primal Carnage: Extinction being far from great (or even good by traditional standards), that doesn’t mean it isn’t without merit.

Well, that hole has now been filled (is that sentence acceptable?) with, sadly, the rather mediocre dinosaur themed shooter, Primal Carnage: Extinction. the Extra-Terrestrial or, God forbid, Street Fighter: The Movie), the accepted theory that dinosaurs are awesome combined with the bizarre lack of dinosaur themed video games has left a large and somewhat inexplicable hole in the market. While that is fine in theory (after all, who needs another E.T. Five, ten, fifteen years ago, a horribly mediocre movie tie-in would have been all but assured, but nowadays, the video game and movie industries are far less intertwined with any potential tie-in usually relegated to some dodgy mobile game that 99% of the ‘core’ gaming audience couldn’t give a monkey’s about. Jurassic World has done nearly 1.7 billion dollars at the global box office, everyone loves dinosaurs and yet, no video game.
