Playing as a dinosaur is a very different experience, and something that really takes some getting used to. The human side may not be the most popular of choices, but running from enraged dinosaurs and working successfully as a team feels incredibly satisfying. Although the core aim of ‘shoot the dinosaur in the face’ remains largely unchanged whichever you chose. You’ve got your sniper, regular trooper, flamethrower, heavy and trapper when playing as the humans - each of them playing pleasantly differently. Like a few FPS games out there, (no, wait, all of them) the teams are further split into classes.

As you’d expect, the human players are forced to group together in order to survive, while the dino team is all about brute force - mixed in with a little bit of tactical thinking. In simple terms, Primal Carnage is an online FPS game that, in the core game mode, pits a team of human hunters against a pack of ravenous (maybe even a little ravishing) dinosaurs. Sounds good, right? Well, mostly is my initial answer - because have you ever thought about how annoying it would be to actually be a dinosaur?

Admittedly, it’s an easy sell: either play as a dino-hunter, taking down a horde of surprisingly team-focused Jurassic terrors, or shed your own skin for a new scaly outfit as one of a selection of badass dinosaurs. I just can’t help but feel as though it’s a strange interest - which is perhaps why I can’t help but feel as though Primal Carnage: Extinction is a strange kind of game. So why does the idea of vicious, powerful predators (and, you know, herbivores) intrigue the young of mind? Don’t get me wrong, I certainly loved dinosaurs when I was a kid - and, well, they’re still pretty awesome. What is it about dinosaurs that young people love so much? I mean, stick them in a room with a live T.rex and they’ll probably have a slight change of heart. Reviews // 14th Jul 2015 - 8 years ago // By Ryan Davies Primal Carnage: Extinction Review
