    This iteration is good enough to make Matt holler with delight, but the action seems to have been turned up to a frantic pace. [Oct 2002, p.93]

    The story's perplexing, the AI is unimaginative, and the Predator and Predalien missions just aren't that interesting. [Nov 2002, p.146]

    If you found the first game to be very challenging, this expansion has the potential to frustrate you to no end. It also lacks the elements that made the first game suspenseful and packed with atmosphere.

    This expansion seems to ignore most of what was good in the original and instead concentrate on fast-paced, frustrating, and nearly mindless action.

    Primal Hunt is going to take the Best Blueballs award for not delivering on what could have been a great expansion. [Nov 2002, p.118]

    Middling level design along with an over-reliance on mobbing the player with nearly impossible situations make Hunt a disappointing release.

    First off the Solo Missions, suck. There is no suspense like in the first, and just jumps into BORING action.

    When a studio that has nothing to do with original game's success desperately tries to expand a universe, such bad games as "Primal Hunt"When a studio that has nothing to do with original game's success desperately tries to expand a universe, such bad games as "Primal Hunt" happen. This expansion in any way can't be called a good pack. AVP 2 by Monolith was a perfect game that introduced various original scenarios that years since walkthrough leave good memories. Thing I do remember about "Primal Hunt" is that it was extremely short (only 3 levels for each species), boring and not original. Yes, there could be some more story told about events that took place in AVP 2, but this pack does not achieve this goal.… Expand

    Get the game, don't get the expansion. Had to resort to cheats to get past the turret part where you're waiting for Dimitri. So Get the game, don't get the expansion. Had to resort to cheats to get past the turret part where you're waiting for Dimitri. So badly done, first off, even if you carefully spend your ammo. It's bugged, after a while your rounds stop hitting the aliens, leading to death. If you go ape and spray everywhere, you'll run out of ammo and blam dead. There's no health and no ammo pickups, so there's no effective way forward for me now other then to cheat or to restart the entire fucking game. Pathetic sh*t really.… Expand
