Primal - Playstation 2 - PS2

Primal

" civilization is only skin deep "

At the beginning of Primal, a hulking demon assaults the lead singer of a heavy metal band just after his show, making off with him to who-knows-where and leaving his girlfriend unconscious and at death's door. Jen, who looks like she'd go out with the lead singer of a heavy metal band, is rushed to the hospital, and she eventually awakens from her coma, thanks to a diminutive gargoyle named Scree, who urges her to follow him into a strange, chaotic alternate reality and to help restore balance both to that world and to hers. Jen's not terribly interested in playing the heroine, but she'd definitely like her boyfriend back. That's where you come in: Primal challenges you to help Jen and Scree help each other as they explore big, seamless environments, solve puzzles, and battle enemies. This action adventure game features some excellent production values, between its outstanding graphics and first-rate voice acting, and it also has some clever twists and original ideas. At the same time, Primal isn't a fast-paced game, and its core gameplay and mechanics aren't always much fun since there's a lot of legwork involved and a lot of locked doors. But it's still a showcase game for the PlayStation 2 and one that will particularly appeal to fans of other occult-themed action adventure games, such as the Soul Reaver series by Crystal Dynamics.

Primal is played from a third-person perspective, where you'll control either Jen or Scree. You can switch between the two at any time by pressing the Select button, and generally, the character you're not controlling will do his or her best to follow the other one around. The catch is that Jen can reach places Scree can't, and vice versa, but the two need to stick together somehow. This results in gameplay reminiscent of the artful action adventure game ICO, where the main character had to help a frail girl through treacherous environments, only here neither character is a liability: Jen quickly learns some fighting moves, while Scree's stone hide makes him all but impervious to harm. But the majority of Primal isn't spent fighting enemies; it's spent figuring out where to go next, getting there, and getting past whatever obstacles prevent further passage.
