What kind of moron would give this game a 10, a 9, even an 8? Even Gamespot's score is too high for this trash!
User Rating: 3 | Predator: Concrete Jungle PS2
Predator is a very popular Sci-fi "I keel you" creature that appeared in two very good movies, but in games without his buddy, Alien, he is the lowest of the low. This game automatically signs him in to the "Washed Up Game Characters Lounge" where he can hang out with Shadow the hedgehog from his debut game and Scaler. Predator: Concrete Jungle has to be the worst piece of garbage I had the displeasure to play. The game starts out with a unnamed Predator who needs to kill some Irish gangster for an untold reason. Once you go through a cheap little training sequence, you are treated to a surprisingly well-done cinematic of the Predator blowing up the city after he is wounded. After the nuclear bomb-like explosion takes place, miraculously, the lone Predator survives and his superiors aren't too happy with him and his actions. He is then exiled for 100 years, until the Predators come back for his assistance. It seems like the humans found whatever remained of your gear and are playing around with copies of your weapons in a way where the Predator elders command you to take care of this problem. Now, you are introduced to a big city with big problems. Gangsters of all kinds are wrecking havoc with your stuff and Predator is just not going to take that from them. Well, then the game goes downhill from there. You spend most of your time killing gang bosses, to killing a certain kind of gangster brute (cloaked gangster, gangster with a plasma cannon), or just doing whatever pointless mission the game puts you on. Despite the either non-existant or just Uwe-Boll-esque plot, you are given all of the Predator's signature weapons, like your speargun, plasma cannon, cloaking device, vision-switching thingy, wrist blade, mines, etc. Well, about 75% of this crap is just to make the player think this is Predator. I mean, not once did I use a mine, the speargun and plasma cannon are usually useless and the vision-switching just confuses you. This is all because of the absymal gameplay. The game is supposedly a stealth-action game, well, it's pretty sad when your stealth sucks and that action is just cheap. Sure, the executions are brutal and fun to watch for the first time, but once you skin a man alive, you have skinned them all. The graphic engine made a really cool looking Predator model, but when it came to environments, character design, and blood effects, the director of the game didn't give a s***. The sound effects are fair as in 6 out of 10, while the voice acting and music are about in the 2 out of 10. This is what you are in for: What's good? Predator model and good-looking cinematics. What's bad? Everything else. Oh yes, and Predator, while you are clanking beer glasses with Van Helsing's Dracula, be sure to say hi to Gex for me.
