Concrete Jungle:

Predator Concrete Jungle placed you in the role of the legendary Predator from the films but instead of a mimic plot of the films you get an original story told over the course of hundreds of years which provides a great insight of just how these nomadic hunters live. The game allows you to start out in training mode or jump right into the action. I was thankfull for the training mode because you will be using every button on the x-box controller. This is not a bad thing the wealth of attacks, gadgets, vision modes all the while controling the movement and camera angle takes a while to master. I'm not the greatest player on the planet but I had the controls mastered by the third mission (I did the training as well). The games maps load quickly and the level detail on the predator is very sharp, the bad guys are pretty sharp as well considering there are tons of them. The map layouts are done very well allowing you to be a predator climing up buildings, jumping from roof top to roof top all the while trying to remain unseen until your ready to pounce on your prey for a quick kill and then jump back to safety. Kills are very violent you can slice and dice or vaporize your enemy as you wish, even bare handed the predator is a foe to be reckoned with. (needless to say this game isn't for children) The predator also comes with various vision modes which are key to completing missions and upgrading his weapons cache. Mission objective appear in order with bonus missions on the side which reward you with power ups and weapons upgrades, you will be doing everything from running all out to catch bad guys before they get away to working in stealth mode it's a very nice mix. Are there any bad points to the game? It really depends on what your expecting, concrete jungle is not like GTA series allowing you to run around and pick your missions but I'm glad it's not it tells the story it keeps you on track and that's not a bad thing. The graphics are great the load time is short (at least on the x-box I cannot speak for the PS2) the control is well done but took me a bit to master. My only complaint I had thus far was that I had trouble with the camera once in a while when I was in areas where the walls were close to you (like an ally or small room). If you are a fan of the series you will no doubt enjoy this game it's a great game at a great price.

Awesome Game, But May Only Appeal To Predator Fans

In the 1930's, a Yatja (a.k.a Predator), sought glory in his tribe by slaughtering mobsters in the hot climates of Louisiana. After succeeding in his mission, he made his way back to his ship with his trophy in hand. As he was about to approach his ship, he becomes trapped and tries to self destruct, but accidentally surviving the explosion. Man learning about the species because of the explosion, he is banned from his tribe for 100 years. Then, there is a chance to redeem himself. He must return to Earth, now the 2030's, and destroy the weapons humanity has created modeled after what the Yatja left behind in the 30's. That's where the game really begins. Basically, you play as the Predator trying to restore his honor.

The game play for this game takes a little while to get used to, but eventually comes natural. They have a training section that you use to learn the ropes which is extremely helpful, without it, it would be difficult to play. Even I still don't understand how everything works, but you learn enough to keep going. It's hard to get lost in the game since most of the time there is a flashing triangle that tells where to go, which is a good help. There is first person mode which you can use to get a closer look from far away.

The graphics are decent, the movie parts of the game are so detailed it's amazing, and the Predators look like real actors in costume. The look of the game is very detailed, especially with the Yatja, but not as detailed as the FMV movies. The Predator and the background look good, but the people could look better. One of the coolest parts is when you are hurt, you receive damage. The more you're hurt, the more you're bleeding, if you're not hurt, no blood.

All of the weapons that you have seen in the movies are here, the combistick, smart disc, everything! You also have the famous stealth camouflage. You live by honor. You don't kill defenseless people or it hurts your reputation. If you kill too many innocent people, you will fail your mission. There are also bonus missions that earn you things like alternate costumes and health upgrades.

My favorite extra on here is the ability to unlock different Predator costumes and you can play Predator from the first and second movie along with others.

This game gets mixed reviews. It's understandable. When it gets down to it, this game could have been better. The look is good, but more detail could have been added. The different visions are difficult to master. To access different weapons, you have to push the select button, but with no load time in-between pushing select and playing, which is a good thing. You can't climb up any building you want, just a few specific ones. So it has a few tedious things, but overall good.

Here's the bottom line, if you are a Predator fan, odds are you'll eat this up. Just being a Predator in a third-person environment with the world at your disposal is fun, I love it. But if you're not much of a Predator fan and you're just a casual gamer, rent this first. I suggest that fans and non-fans may want to rent it first. It's good, but there has been mixed reviews. You'll either like it or hate it, that's for sure.

Good but not great

I think that some of the people who wrote the other reviews are to hard on the game. They all seem to fucus on the graphics on the game. Well the problem with the game is that the graphics are horrible,terrible,bad... just plain bad. But hey look at resident evil 2 on playstation people play that and they would still give it 8 out of 10. The story line of the game is very good. Well first you start of in the 1930's you jump out of window all beat up(not knowing why until towrds the end of the game). You have to run to your ship and get the heck out of the city. Well you dont! You fall and try to blow up yourself and the city. Once again you fail to suceed you survive. You have showed much disrespect surviving. You are banished to a world for many years only with your glaive(spear) expected to die. And once again you do not. So they come back to give you another chance to regain your honor. These phsyco guys have taken your technolgy and know its some kind of high tech futre city. Might i add you return to the same city. There on you play and get back your stuff. The thing i liked most about the game was the costumes and that you could upgrade your weapons to be much more... powerfull and cooler looking. There are certain attacks you can do called exucutions that are absolutley fabulous. Each bloody and quick. One of them is were you stick your wrist blades in there back and pull up ripping the head and the spinal cord out of the body. That is all for now. But just two more things. If you get frustrated just think for awhile of how to beat this guy or if your stuck in a building not knowing were to go or look at the directions in the mission objectives or just get a guide on the internet. the second thing is i seriously if your not a big predator fan and you dont really like the movies or book s you will hate the game but if you love the predator like me then well you will love this game( except for the graphics) thank you for reading my review.

What I heard about the game I dont have it!

This game looks like a stealth action game where you can hunt for your prey and scale walls. You can use your cloaking device, mask, arm blades, laser on back, double bladed sword thing, spear, and a spear gun. You can use your gun to aim more perciseley in first person on your weapon this game is normally third person.

its more a 3 and a 1/2

This game ws disapointing. It was not as good as i hoped. The people are all the same and this game gets really fustrating really qickly if you know what to do and your not fustrated this game is fun. One of the best parts of the game is you get to run a round the city. If you are a huge predator fan i saty get it if your not rent it.

Very good, but not without it's flaws.

I loved the predator series (along with Alien) for... since last summer, so I thought that this game would be a good first try, back before the long delay. when I got the game, I loved it.
story: as a Predator named Scarface, you mess up on a hunt in some made up city in the 1930s and you try to get to your ship, you trip, fall down a big hole, and try to blow your ship and yourself up. you survive, and because of some people important to the plot surviving, you get banished for 100 years by your clan-mates. you get another chance to restore your honor when the banishy thing is over, and it just so happens that the city you blew up rebuilt itself (not literally) and with the help of the plot-important characters who, by the way, stole your tech back in the 30s, becomes a very technologically advanced city. so now you have to kill these tech-stealing b-tards to restore your honor.
despite how I love it, it still has some mistakes:
first off, it looks like the developers focused mainly on our pred and his alternate costumes, which explains why the other people are a tiny bit... uh... not very well-detailed, like how the original Xbox games were.
second off, it's not entirely free-roam, like I heard once. it's more like, "do these missions any way you'd like, unless told to do it a certain way, then go to the next level".
and third off, it's a little too story driven.
Buy or rent?: rent if you are not sure, buy if you are.
there's my review. hope you enjoyed it, and enjoy the game.

A PRED LOVERS DREAM, kinda

The only reason why im not giving this game a five star rating is because of the free roam ability. your only aloud about a ten block radius to complete ur mission which kinda sucked. anyway its really fun, you are aloud all the predators weapon which is really cool, you get all the different visions as the predator. plus its a challenge, so its not like you'll waist money. Its well thought out and louds of fun. It has a great story line about a predator thats on a mission to win his honor back.

This game is recommended to all, especially pred lovers.

rate this plz.

Pretty good

This game got some bad reviews from IGN.com but I really like the predator character and I figured I'd give the game a try. Its no Halo 2 or anything close to a really great game, but its a lot of fun to play around with. Lots of controls and options that take a lot of time to master and configure. Once you learn and have it the way you want its easy to control. I wish they would take this predator idea and make a really great game out of it. It could be so much. i have heard good things about the PC game AvsP but never played it. Graphics are average and so is the game play. So unless your a fan you won't get much out of this game. But if your a fan then don't pass this up.

THIS GAME ROCKS

Who hasn't seen Predator? And for those who have, we all wonder why there hasn't been a great game made by now.

He's the ultimate hunter, able in both action and stealth. I mean let's face it, Dante would get waxed like a floor, and Sam Fisher would never see it coming.

So it is with great pleasure that there is FINALLY a game at least worthy of this character's truly game ready abilities. I'm not saying this game is better than the games hinted at above, but it does what it is meant to do very well. And that is, allow the player to be the hunter, and really feel like you are playing as the Predator.

To keep it short and sweet, if you ever wanted to be the Predator, buy this game, period.

A big 8.5 of 10.
