Unleash your inner dinosaur as you take control of the world's deadliest predators, from small spitters to towering tyrants. There is a pretty good selection so far, but I’m not sure if I’m the kind of person who would drop a few dollars for a dinosaur skin.From Circle 5 Studios and Panic Button comes an unusual class-based online multiplayer shooter pitting dinosaurs against people in Primal Carnage: Extinction! In this fast-paced dino versus human combat, will you hunt down prey as legendary prehistoric creatures, or join the mercenary team and make these bloodthirsty beasts extinct? (Again!) Either way, the question is: Can you survive? Along with everything else the game has to offer there, is a small but growing in-game store where you can buy items such as skins for real-world money. Normally you don’t see something like this in a game meant for straight-out combat so it was kind of refreshing to see. Here there is no fighting, you can just pretend and hang out with other people pretending to be dinosaurs. One other mode which caught my interest is the “Role-play” server. Here your goal as a human is to gather resources you need to repair your helicopter to get off the island before you become dino chow. Another fun mode is “Get to The Chopper”. This mode was rather amusing to watch when I spectated a few times. If you want a pure dinosaur experience you can have two teams of viscious lizards going at it. You have your standard death match, which pits a team of dinos and a team of human against each other – whichever team racks up the most kills withing the set time limit wins. It is still fun, but remember to choose your dino carefully to suit your style of play and stay out of areas on the map where you could get cornered!īefore diving into a game you will have a few choices of gameplay to choose from. Also you are in third person view when you are controlling these overgrown lizards. That is one thing that frustrated me about some of the dinos: it can be like trying to drive a large truck in a small space. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses – some are fast but don’t do much damage, while others are hulking beasts that can do major damage, but hard to control. Some of the more popular dinosaurs are represented, such as the T-Rex, Novaraptor, and Pteranodon. On the other side you have the dinos where there are nine different kinds to choose from. There is something for everyone and their style of play. People who are familiar with first person multiplayer shooters will feel right at home here. They all play similarly, except for the weapons they start with.

You can unlock new skins and add-ons as you play to make yourself a bit more unique. Each comes with their own unique weapons and look. On one side you have the humans, of which there are five classes: pathfinder, scientist, commando, pyro, and trapper. Primal Carnage: Extinction is a multiplayer shooter which can pit human against dinosaur or dinosaur against its own kind.

You can play as a human or as a dinosaur – but is there enough to hold your interest, or will you find yourself bored back into the prehistoric era? Circle Five Studios brings us a multiplayer experience which pits man against these impressive beasts in team combat. In this case we are talking about creatures that walked the earth millions of years ago: dinosaurs. The struggle between man and beast is timeless, and in videogames it is no different.
