I loved the idea of this game and thought that this original was supposed to be more fun or balanced than Extinction. I tried to like it but, it's either a bad first person shooter with bad classes or you get to run around as a joke of a dinosaur. Everything feels random and after a few minutes of trying both teams, you'll get sick of it.

Want to fly around as a dinosaur? Yea, no it's also really not worth it. And besides, it's a pretty old game and it might've been good to get then, but it's never going to be updated and i could not recommend it at this point when there are much better dinosaur games you could be looking at like ARK and The Isle. Or even PC:Extinction, I havn't tried it; but not this game.

Well, the game is a so, so. It has some interesting game ideas, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics, gameplay, designe, and other stuff. It should be totally reworked. I strongly recomend you not to buy it, whoever is reading my bad english. Stay safe.

This game to me feels like something that is browser based, by default you have mouse accel on, the visuals are, to say the least, not like the trailer but I didn't really expect them to be.
Mouse sens in this game is like playing with 10000 dpi on anything other than than 10, there are serious issues with dinos clipping with objects, its just "Ehhhhh Meh" it's alright for a few rounds, but certiannly not the quality of other such Dino/Monster based FPS games like Dino-D Day, it also suffers from extremly unbalanced classes.
It's fun for a little while but its issues keep biting at you, all in all I'd never reccomend it for full price.

Probably one of the best dino games on steam but don't waste your money.
Dev's haven't updated the game in months promising a big 2.0 patch. Finally after a few months, they announce that the 2.0 update is going to be released as a seperate game and that all who bought the first game will still have to pay for the update.

Primal Carnage is a game I can entertain myself for hours on end. Whether you're in it for the killing or just to mess around and role play (rp). I Recommend this game. It's true this game hasn't been updated in months or maybe even a year now but even so it makes a great game none the less. If you want to feel a realistic dinosaur game then this one should be on your list of games to try.

The gameplay is quite smooth if you have a decent connection to the internet, it only gets laggy if there is a player with a high ping or your internet is just slow. It's a very smooth game and this is why I prefer it over Primal Carnage Extinction. The "improved" primal carnage (Extinction) is just too choppy for me and it just doesn't have the same feel that Primal Carnage gives. When I fly as a ptera I feel free, I could spend hours just flying around a map doing tricks and going under/over hard to reach places. Bonus: Pteras can actually speed up in this game by diving, wheras in Extinction you're basically just looking to get killed if you're a ptera. The movement of the dinos feels realistic, for example the raptor pounces at what seems within logic (in game it looks to be around 15ft). The rex doesn't vacuum you up into it's mouth, you actually have to aim to eat the human. Dilos are a much harder class to play, so if you like challenges then you should play that class and try to get atleast 5 kills without dying. Another thing that I like about the gameplay is the accuracy in aiming, it seems very realistic although the bullets don't slow down, they shoot the same speed as far as you want. Even still this game is quite fun.

One huge thing I love about this game is the community. Most people I have played with are reasonable although there is arguements on kill servers about weather a person is using "aimbot" or not. All in all most people understand the rules quickly and don't usually spam. I find there is less trolling in this game then in Extinction. Generally the people you meet will want to connect with you and soon before you know it you have a new best friend or someone who is very dear to you. I highly recommend getting to know the people you play with, you'll find out that they aren't so different from you and a lot of them share common interest along with you.

In conclusion, I would recommend this game to anyone who likes an intense and fairly accurate game. If you like it from the beginning chances are you'll get hooked just like I did. I am a die hard Primal Carnage fan and I will never forget this game. So if you want a little competition try new things in this game and push yourself to see how good you can really get. Before you know it you'll be the top killer on your team. I hope some of you will consider this game and give it a try.
