the dull thrill of brilliance - By: Frederick Graham, 25 Jan 2008 
This game acomplishes many targetsin beauty,depth & overall gaming pleasure. I dont kid myself into thinking that this game wasnt brilliantly made, its a work of art & its release was eagerly awaited. The reason this game doesnt get its placein the hall of fame is simple;
its gameplay - though beautyfully detailed & brilliantly unique- is dull. after a few hours of playing this game you lose the will to live; like so many other could-have-been games.
But dont let this put you off,in small amounts, this is gaming heaven.
OK...sort of - By: Dax, 18 Sep 2006 
I think the designers were going for a sort of Lara Croft Tomb Raider, but with demons. It didn't work. It's not as good as the Tomb Raider Games & the fighing is hard to get right. However, the worlds were done well. All OK visually.
Primal - By: gamer, 12 Apr 2006 Primal is a fantastic game with an original, compelling storyline & excellent graphics. Each realm is fantstic & the environmental puzzles are fun to try & figure out. the only bad thing was when it ended it didnt really answer all the questions!! very annoying but overall a very good game i realy wish they would bring out a sequel for the ps3!
Bemused - By: Mr. Andrew J. Willcocks, 19 Jul 2005 
How did this get any good reviews? As an experienced gamer I have to say that this is probably the most boring game I've ever bought. Run around a bit, cutscene, run around a bit more, another lengthy cutscene, & so it goes on. Pretty naff fights along the way & nothing to make me want to finish the game. I wasted my money.
Primal Scree-am (Sorry!) - By: Stattox, 18 Feb 2005 
I have picked this game up & played it again recently & I had forgotten how good this actually is.
People complain about the combatin this game. I can understand why. It is simple & requires the minimum of skill but this game isn't really about the fighting.
Most of the game is spent exploring the locations & solving mostly environmental puzzles. The worlds are not exactly huge but provide enough of an area to make you feel like part of something much bigger.
The puzzles varyin quality. Most involve the use of your two characters & rely on their different skills. Jen is your typical annoying 'strong' female character but just remains on the acceptible side without straying too far into the stereotypical. Her skills revolve around fighting & climbing.
Her partner on this journey is Scree, a gargoyle. Being made from stone he cannot be killed but he cannot fight either. His role is usually to help Jen overcome some environmental obstacle, for instance, climbing up a wall & lowering a rope so Jen can climb it.
The story is okay. Each world has a sub plot that ties into the main games overall plot. Some of the banter between the main two protagonists can be quite amusing.
Recommended to people who like a less combat dependant adventure game.
