It's a moderately entertaining fighter with an interesting gimmick and enough modes to give it a good amount of replay value. On the other hand, the game's fighting system and control scheme are in desperate need of a revamp.
-
Pretty much a button mashing game. The good part of this game is that there are lots of things you can do.
-
The series is beginning to fall behind the times, and BR: Extreme is a bit shopworn, but it's still a good time.
-
TotalGames.netThe main problem is that, aside from some rather nice visual effects, everything about the game feels out-of-date.
-
A fun fighter with attractive visuals and an easy control scheme.
-
It's by no means a heavyweight, but fans of the series will get a hell of a kick out of the Xbox conversion.
-
The problem with Bloody Roar Extreme is that it gets by on the bare minimum. The gameplay is very simple and requires no skill.
-
Isn't exactly a fresh take on fighting games, though it looks good and controls well enough.
-
Game InformerIt's not worthless, but I can't find anything to put it ahead of "Mortal Kombat" or "DOA 3" for my playing time. [July 2003, p.116]
-
This is a game you will need friends to enjoy, single player mode just doesn’t offer up much of a challenge or depth.
-
Cheat Code CentralBloody Roar groupies will be pleased to know that this is the best game in the series thus far but only you can decide if a few new moves, characters and better graphics make for a better game.
-
This is a great game for the younger crowd. How about working on a serious fighting title now? You know, for those of us who enjoy more involved fighting games?
-
A fun game, but there's not a lot new here. It has the standard game modes we all expect in a fighting game these days, but nothing else. Continually dressing up what amounts to the same game with a different name is becoming insulting.

Play MagazineI've been here and done that. While still nice-looking in the grand scheme of things, the technology is somewhat behind the times and I still have mixed feelings about "zoanthropes". [June 2003, p.57]
-
Xbox Nation MagazineThere's very little rhyme or reason to any of the proceedings, but Roar is still king of fun. [Aug 2003, p.81]
-
games(TM)For all it's button-mashing faults, though, Bloody Roar still manages to be fun. It may not be the most technical beat-'em-up on the market, nor is it the most stylish, but one thing works wonders in Bloody Roar's favour - simplicity. [Nov 2003, p.119]
-
Visually, Bloody Roar Extreme is fine if somewhat boring. It does have a very smooth framerate, but it's readily apparent that these graphics weren't designed with the Xbox originally in mind.
