PREDATORS

Predators succeeds for a number of reasons, such as great controls. But what really puts it over the top is that it knows exactly what you want out of a Predator game. You don't want to collect stuff. You don't want puzzles. You want to maim, shred, and murder.

Predators is a little rough around the edges, but overall, it is a good game that makes great use of its license, and it being a universal app as well should be the start of a trend that other developers and publishers pick up on.

If you love action games that offer ample ways to kill your enemies then Predators is the game for you. While it doesn't tap into the film nearly as much as I would have expected, it does offer a quality Predator experience and one hell of a bloody good time.

Not only is it one of the best movie licensed games out there, but it's also a sweet game in general. The blood, the attention to detail...just buy it now.

Packs a lot in: a lot of moves, a lot of violence, and a lot of fun.

PREDATORS would have surely done without 24 identical levels. To be clear, the game is very entertaining, technically amazing and as much brutal as satisfying; certainly better than the usual tie-in formula. Anyway, it would be better with different game modes, a co-op or deathmatch multiplayer option, more environments or a greater variety of enemies.

For less than a couple of pounds you can indulge in your own Predator fantasies for a few hours. This, the satisfying kills and the detailed graphics save the game from being forgettable and make it worth downloading if you're a fan of the franchise.

Predators is a fun game, and with a more reliable combo system along with more maps, it could have been a great game. As it stands, Predators is still surprisingly good and well worth the considerably cheap asking price. Three bucks for some simple Predator-themed violence isn't too bad at all.

There's not much variety to be had, and you can wade through it in a couple of decent train journeys, but Predators keeps itself sharp enough for you to chop until it stops.

A pretty but vapid experience. [Sept 2010, p.98]
