    This game doesn't deserve a 1. I had waited weeks to rent this game then to find out is sucks man am i mad. The graphics are ok but all your doing all during the game is pressing the wrong buttons and trying to figure out what to do. i give this game a -5

    If you want the experience of actually BEING the predator then this is the best on the market. Great replay value, hidden bonus missions and detailed environments. A must for predator fans.

    The developers who made this game really need to go watch the film. they obviously saw a kevin costner movie and somehow thought it was predator. this game would have been great if we lived in the year 1980, but sadly for them and michael jackson...we do not.

    I enjoyed this game alot because I am a Predator Fanatic. The constant thinking and restrategizing keeps you in the game and gives you your moneys worth. On the other hand the villans and bad guys suck similar to the pedestrians in spiderman 2. I suggest you play this game non stop till its done, then sell it.

    If you are a Predator fan, this is at least worth a rental, as it IS cool to have pretty much every single Predator Weapon available at your disposal. Not as bad as the negative reviews suggest, though i can understand a non-Predator fan not really 'getting' it.

    This game is honestly one of favorite games of all time. I am a hardcore predator fan since the first movie came out. I can understand how non-predator fans can hate this game, but if you like predator its awesome I think. AVP the movie I thought sucked because they didn't get the skills of the predator right. This game pretty much sums up the predator skill and power pretty well.

    Remains as the best predator game ever, needs a remaster or maybe a Remake.

    One of the best Predator games and my brother's favorite. Even with it's outdated graphics, it still makes you believe that you are the predator and they enemies in the game are your prey. From what I've played it is quite fun for a linear adventure game and has a bunch of fun mechanics. It's too bad you don't see very many games like this nowadays.

    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.

    This game was slammed by critics and it is so good, little do they know how gratifying it was to be able to control the predator on PS2 in 3rd person because there was no game of it that way for PS

    A partially lacerated corpse of a game with great chunks of fun missing.
  2. 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.
