Greatness in the making?

Primal is a great game, in the making that is. In the future I see a game from the Primal series in every household, that is assuming Sony can clean up and improve this Gothic act. This is one of those great idea- bad execution kind of games. Your boyfriend is snatched by some hideous figure and you are put in Intensive Care. A stone statue takes you for an out of body experience to restore the balance between good and evil. If I had a nickle for every time that happened. What hurts this game is how slow the game plays out, and how slow it plays. When you "run" it seems more like a steady jog. You fight with the L1 buttons and there is no inventory so you can tell what you have. The character designs are nice, but nothing to write home about but the levels are gorgeous. Some kind of Punkish-Heavy metal music pops up during battles, but is more annoying than anything becaue of how quickly it goes away. Like I said, this game needs some Miracle Grow, and if it does, you have your next Jill Valentine or Lara Croft. Rental Status first, then buy if you like.
