Three years in the making, Primal lies in a dark, fantastical realm between the mortal world and the afterlife, where an eternal struggle between order and chaos rages. Abaddon (Chaos) has tired of his personal conflict with Arella (Order) and is breaking the rules. It's up to you, as half-demon Jennifer Tate, to team up with Scree the Living Gargoyle to bring Abaddon down and set things right again. Boasting state-of-the-art motion captured animation, advanced AI routines, and integrated cutscenes, Primal offers players four diverse realms and four unique demon forms to toy with. The ability to switch between Screen and Jen on the fly should prove invaluable for solving puzzles and the dynamic loading technology keeps disc access to a minimum.

When stacked up against the library of PS2 games, there are a lot of cool things it does well, and a number of other things it does poorly. After spending a lot of time with it, I'm pretty sure this is the kind of game a select audience will love dearly and everyone else will switch off quickly -- if they even notice it at all.

The Getaway is coming into prominence now, but soon SCEE Cambridge Studio's Primal will appear. The team previously gained some small notoriety as the developers of the MediEvil series on the original PlayStation; this game dispenses with that series' humorous tone but retains an abiding interest in the supernatural.
