    Being such a huge fan of the 007 movies and games, it’s a shame that the game with the most possibility out of the last few years ends up being the one I would like to change the most. This is a game that will only go for the hardcore 007 fans, besides them this game is a good rental. Read more

    In the end, Bloody Roar Extreme is a decent game for the needy Xbox fighting genre. The game's fighting gameplay doesn't try anything new, but instead goes for perfection, and because of that an ample fighting game experience is achieved. If you own an Xbox as your only system and you're tired of Dead or Alive 3, or if you're just a fighting game nut, go ahead and check out Bloody Roar Extreme. It's worth at least a moment of your attention. Read more

    Originally, the series was developed exclusively to Sony’s Playstation hardware. First to debut on a non-Sony hardware was Bloody Roar: Primal Fury, a revamped version of the already released Bloody Roar 3 for Sony’s Playstation 2. Bloody Roar: Primal Fury, released on 3/20/2002 for the Gamecube, featured updated graphics, sounds, and even some extras. Bloody Roar Extreme is the same game Bloody Roar: Primal Fury except for the add-ons. Will this game cripple down... Read more

    Before you jump to conclusions on Bloody Roar Extreme, let me point out that this game retails for $29.99, a deal compared to the standard $49.99 of the majority of new releases on the market. At just over half the regular price of a new game, Bloody Roar Extreme reverts back to classic arcade fighting styles that get a graphical boost on the Xbox to provide you with anime style combat without the complex combos of the more intense fighters available. This is a game you... Read more

    This game was by far not impressive. Hudson is constantly making the bloody roar games the same. It almost seems like your playing the same game over and over just for a different console. The uniqueness of the game is good (Humans transforming into animals) but the creators of the game do not make it seem so unique at all. Moves are way too easy to do. Only around three buttons to press to do a special or finisher and that is ridiculous for a fighting game. If you are... Read more

    The Bloody Roar franchise is probably one of the most underrated fighting series of all time. Bloody Roar Extreme is an extremely fun fighting game with tight controls. There are a wide variety of characters to pick from and each character can turn into their beast form. I like the dual aspect of having two different forms for each character as it allows for some strategy. This is a fighting game that doesn't take itself to seriously and that really makes it a blast to... Read more

    the game itself is a solid fighter true to the series. there are some lack of polish on the whole, but the game remains playable. if you are a die-hard fighting fan, then this game may be a worthwhile pursuit. however, if you are new to the genre you may want to look elsewhere. i do recommend this title, albeit not resoundingly, as there are better games out for the xbox.
