Primal Rage 3

The sequel to Primal Rage 2, Primal Rage 3 is available for PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360 consoles Though the game actually takes place after the first game, the game would rather take its own storyline after Primal Rage 2 (which was cancelled, but planned to be released 1996-1997).

ESRB Rating
This is the first Primal Rage game to be rated 'M' for Mature, since the first game had too much controversy being rated 'T' for Teen. Another reason to be a Mature-rated game is that the game goes deeper into the storyline, and is much darker and more gruesome. The only thing toned down was the fighting, which no longer shows graphic scenes of violence (the kind of graphic content removed is Chaos's fatality, Golden Shower, which was replaced with a more common fatality, "Flesh Ripper"). Its fighting style is actually reminiscent of Marvel vs. Capcom (because of the newer Tag-Team fighting mechanics) and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (having both similar graphics, the use of Aerial Combos, and the ability to execute a number of fatalities in a row).

Voice Cast
According to Jaffe, Primal Rage 3 now has characters being able to speak during gameplay, and during the robust story mode. It is similar to Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm in some ways, but primarily Twisted Metal: Black. There are Japanese voice-overs, also!
