  1. People have complained up and down about the story, and that’s fine, but anyone who has followed the comic books knows what is going on without a problem.

    Predator: Concrete Jungle does a fair job of putting a console face on the galactic big game hunter as well as offering some genuinely fun moments, but unfortunately the linearity, ropey camera and basic fighting mechanics don't make for a particularly long lasting experience.

    It looks the part and it has al the right elements. It's just cumbersome and rarely rewarding to play. So close to being amazing, yet so obviously not. Shame.
  4. 55
    Unfortunately, four vision modes, a wonky camera, and an arsenal of superb weapons hampered by weird restrictions, limited power, and incredibly awkward controls absolutely ruins any continuous or deep feeling of enjoyment or fun that might be had.
  5. The stealth only somewhat works, the combat is mindlessly simple, and the storyline makes Alien vs. Predator look like Dostoyevsky. Now, throw in some fairly ugly graphics, a lot of sloppy platforming, and an onslaught of moronic mission goals, and what you've got is a game you want just about nothing to do with.

    I think the developers have cloaked a budget title into the guise of a full priced affair, which is way worse than some thug stealing a dude's wallet. Watch out Universal Vivendi....you could be the subject of the Predator's next rampage.

    The ideas that drive the game are really good, and this could have easily become the best Predator game to date, except for all the mediocrity. [July 2005, p.77]

    Unworthy prey. [July 2005, p.85]

    What could have been an awesome Predator game is actually one ugly motherf***er. [July 2005, p.111]

    The game itself lacks heart. [July 2005, p.74]
  11. Play Magazine
    40
    There's a big list of moves and attacks, but you never find any worthwhile ways to use them as the game devolves into tiresome plough-ahead combat. [June 2005, p.56]

    A partially lacerated corpse of a game with great chunks of fun missing.
  13. Game Informer

    Playing the Predator's new game is about as much fun as being stabbed in the groin with his wrist blades, and then having the wound peed on. [June 2005, p.126]
  14. Predator: Concrete Jungle deserves to be murdered, flayed and strung up by its heels at your local games emporium as a shining example to all. If not, we’ll do one better: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

    Soundtrack: EXCEPTIONAL !!!
    Have you ever felt good vibes about a game directly from the beginning when you get greeted by the awesome song
    Soundtrack: EXCEPTIONAL !!!
    Have you ever felt good vibes about a game directly from the beginning when you get greeted by the awesome song in the main menu? I knew that this was gonna be a good game straight from the main menu, and by God did it deliver!

    Story: EXCEPTIONAL !!!
    Jesus H CHRIST who in the world thought this out, was either a pro, or a loving predator fan. Because it has EVERYTHING you want in a Predator "feel":
    - thrill of the hunt; trophies
    - respecting the laws and rites
    - protagonist has a personality
    - different enemies THAT HAVE A PLOT, PLAN/PURPOSE, and are inter-connected

    Voice acting: Not angelic but good enough.

    Directing: EXCEPTIONAL !!!
    Everything that involved showing the Predator "feel" did it well!
    - taking trophies
    - action
    - instilling fear into your enemies
    - and so on...

    Graphics: well...its playstation 2...so what can you do *shrugs*.

    Gameplay: since it's a 3rd person action game, i'm comparing it with God of War (same platform).
    It does not have that flawless action like GOW, but it sure does the job very nicely!
    Your arsenal and enemies are different so you definitely need different play tactics for your different environments and enemies.

    Soul of the game: EXCEPTIONAL !!!
    A very well written and thought piece of work that respects the lore and basically can be considered one of the STRONGEST pillars of the Predator franchise.

    May God (and all the gods and the whole universe) bless the whole team that took part in the creation of such a miracle.
