Predator: Concrete Jungle

"One of the most fun gore fests you can buy..."

Well I love the predator and alien movies. And I love this game. Heres why...

Graphics: Very good over all. The cut scenes look freaking amazing... And in game the Predator also looks amazing... The rest of the characters and the environments don't look so good though... Not bad... but not good... It's hard to describe... One thing I love is that when you are wounded the neon green blood appears right on the Predator... It's so cool... The weapons also look wonderful... The environments them selves are very detailed... But they look very bland at the same time... The colors aren't as bright as they could be but it's still great... I give the graphics an 8/10

Sound: From the Predators roar to the screams of that guy your currently decapitating it's all wonderful... Also the Jamaican guys you always have to fight sound pretty funny... not funny bad... funny as in... funny... The only minor thing I have a problem with is that when you swing your combistick it doesn't make a satisfying “swish” or “bang” or a cool cutting sound of any kind. It just makes a “thump” sound.
But all the other weapon sounds are wonderful. Especially the Wrist blades. I'll give the sound a 9/10

Game play: Well here's where this game really shines. It's just so much fun. The stealth type kills are awesome. You can grab people's legs and then slice them in half. Or you just decapitate them. Or you can rip their spines out. There are also some cool scenes where you skin people and hang off of tall buildings or signs. There are also cool moves when you have to kill mechs. You jump on top of them and smash them til the door opens and the Predator rips the guy out of his seat inside the thing. It's very cool. Also there are a plethora (read: lots) of extra costumes to unlock. A total of 9 I believe. There are also a lot of bonus race type mini games that are called “ritual challenges” which basically involves you running from point A to point B within the time limit. These are pretty cool. The only thing that I find detracts from the game play is that you don't have very much cloak energy and the recharge points are very hard to find. Another very minor thing is that you can only carry six plasma caster shots at a time. But who really cares about that eh? Predators are all about the happy gore filled melee. In all I will give the game play a 9/10.

Closing comments: Well you can't really go wrong with this game. It is intended for people 17 and up as it is very gory. Don't play this with your little brother in the room. That's for sure. But seriously, mix a Predator with all his coolness, all the weapons from the movies, the medi-comp device and a cloak and you've got one heck of a game. Definitely worth buying. Over all I believe the game deserves a perfect score. That's right a 10/10.
