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.

a great game

Predator Concrete Jungle is about a predator who has
to redeem himself because of failing a mission. The predator
has many different weapons he can use to help redeem himself.
Examples are: plasmacaster,a cloaking device, and a smart disc.
He can also use many different vision modes to help
him in his quest. The thermal vision mode detects
heat, while the Neuro Vision mode is tuned in by human activity. The
Predator is very detailed in the way he looks, while the background
and the people he fights are bland. The only thing I didnt like
about the game was the strong language. Thats why I had
to minus a star. You even get to fight the aliens at the end of the game.
The game is very violent.The predator decapitates his enemies
heads, slits throats,pulls out their skulls, cuts them in half,
pops their head like a water balloon being squeezed,
and rips their body apart. Besides all that
it is a pretty fun game.

good game

This game is awsome. There is an optional training area in the game where you can learn to master all the weapons, abilities, and attacks. You can veiw trophies, and try extra challenges. Overall, a great game.

Very good but lacking here and there

Predator Concrete Jungle is, as of late, the ONLY game where one can play exclusively as a Predator (there are the AvP games as well, but you play three different species). This something that makes it good, very good. The Predator details are FABULOUS, even for a PS-2... and let's not forget the various unlockable skins that you can use and re-use at your convenience.
The controls, although many seem to say the contrary, are quite deecent and easy to learn (maybe if people bothered to play the tutorials, it would come more easily)... even though there are a few things I still haven't figured out yet(What's a "Wall Kill" and how do you do it?). The actions you preform are everything you could expect a Predator to do (some moves are quite spectacular even),and his aresenal is quite extensive if you actually LOOK for upgrades (which make the game MUCH easier as you get closer to the end)... well, acutally not quite: you can't crouch (yeah... you read that right)
You also have these little time trial thingys (that's the technical term, yes), which are fun yet aggravating, because the times are rather hard to beat... but still rather fun to try your hand at.

Now for the bad news. My guess is that they had about 20 blokes working on the Predator model and maybe 4 or 5 working on NPCs (Non-Player Characters... ie bad guys to kill), because they all look the same and are not terribly well done. And (small spoiler) the Aliens you encounter are probably the exact same models from "Aliens vs Predator 2" with just different sound effects... or so it looks.
DO NOT be fooled by the Product Description going on about how extensive the game's world is... frankly, it's nonsense. If you were expecting a sprawling metropolis like in the GTA series... ahem, uh, sorry... wrong game. Each level is relatively small to medium size, about five city blocks... and you will replay at least two under a different label and time of day (the developpers hoped you wouldn't notice)... but you can still make the most of then if you have enough imagination.
Oh, and no multiplayer... darn. No co-op hunts, no competitions, no Pred fights... nothing. Pure and simple single player.

What could have been done to make Concrete Jungle better? well, not much, but those things would have made this a GREAT game.
1) A LARGER CITY !! if not an all-out GTA-size city, then at least a "The Getaway": deecent-size chunks of the city, then a "free-roam" mode after completing the game with the whole city at your mercy, where you could re-visit your favorite hang-outs
2) Better, more varied, more detailed NPCs would have been nice, but not THAT important... after all you don't look at them that much hehe
3) The ability to choose what you say through your microphone. Something I found irritating was the randomized lines that you record on your journeys and that you can lure prey with. Some are fabulous, but you can't choose what you say... which would have been much more fun, especially in certain situations.

Now don't get me wrong, I like this game a LOT!! It's just, well, missing a few things, that's all. A pity.... In any case, it should tide most of us over for a while until a similar Predator or Alien game comes out.
Verdict: GET IT even if you've never heard of Predator, it should be entertaining.

Everything that the Predator has done in movies, you can do in this game. And like the movies, there is GORE GALORE. Squeamish, beware! I don't know how young someone should be, to be playing this game, but if you're a parent and you want to know if your kid should play this or not, well a good way to judge is, would you let them go see the movies? Yes there's skinnings and beheadings and all that good stuff ~_^ in the game, and if you're adult like me and that's what you're looking for, it's awesome!

No it's not "free roaming" in the sense that Grand Theft Auto is, so don't expect that; but you certainly ARE allowed to freely ROAM the various levels and choose where to go and who to kill on your various missions. There are unlockables galore (like tons of different predator costumes), different levels of difficulty, a huge assortment of weaponry, etc. and the fun factor is awesome. People seem to be complaining about the graphics but I don't see anything wrong with them...they are sharp and crisp, and nothing is "blocky" (in other words, you don't notice the polygons). On occasion you might fall into a wall (yes, INTO it) or some other slightly glitchy area but nothing where you get stuck. I wasn't overjoyed with the camera angle situation but then again what game like this does have a perfect camera set-up? It's a little annoying but nothing that'll ruin your fun. You can always look around with the HUD-like mode.

If you want a game that gives you the "Yes! I'm a predator!" experience, this is it. It's got everything...even the Alien!! I would suggest (unless you're a major Predator fan and must have a minty copy for your "collection,") trying to find a nice used copy of this game, but it's definitely a keeper.

Playing as the Predator was a great idea for a game. I really liked this game. It included all of the Predator weapons and abilities you've seen in the movies. All except for the self destruct in the first Predator. This was a nice game, maybe not the best graphics, but it was a very good game. There is a mission on here where you hunt down a gang and you skin them and hang them up all over the city. Can you do that in any other game? In my opinion this is one of the best action games out there.

Predator Concrete Jungle rocks, you guys are oout of your mind!

You guys must be joking. This game rules. I admit the graphics are very cheesy, but hey, graphics aren'y everything! Most of the attacks are pretty funny, but after the first few times they lose that sense. But they are still cool. The weopons are very cool. It has a better "hunting experiance" than my favorite PC game Aliens versus Predator 2: Gold Edition. It is fun, but the predator in first-person was kind of weird. However, Predator Concrete Jungle has a combination of third-person AND first-person is simply awesome. This game is worth the [...] I payed for it. The cloaking field generator and different visual spectrums are beyond those of Aliens versus Predator 2: Gold Edition. THIS GAME IS WORTH BUYING BY FAAARRR!!!!!

This is a 2005 game?

With an interesrsting storyline that will give you a chance to play as predator and restore your honor, 100 years in the future, the game is rather original for a predator on screen creation, but not without its so many flaws.

First, this game is NOT a free roaming game. And if it is, then forget grand theft auto, or Spiderman 2's deffinition of "free roaming" and think more like a small level that WILL actually let you go anywhere you can jump, or crawl to. Other than that, you can't go just ANYWHERE... And not only that, to make matters worse, you can't just kill anyone. Now let's think predator, that's pretty close to the real thing. But as far as sneakiness and staulking your pray is concerned, you just have to stay invisible, you don't have to watch your prey for very long before you can lock and flay, dismember, grab, punture, slam, burn, knock out, or even just completly destroy your victim into a heap of trembling flesh. With that said, this is a very violent game, more so than grandtheft auto in some respects.

I'll hand it to the creater's that they held true to predator style looking cut scenes, and did a great job at the first person vision viewers. But I take one star away just simply because, the graphics are beautiful... for a 1998 game! the graphics are horrible! Predator looks beautifully like predator, everything else looks like... an early playstation 1 game's graphics. The graphics are... horrible for a 2005 playstation2 game. The cut scenes are wonderful, but you have to get unshocked to really see it, since you notice your victims barly look like people sometimes.

The sounds aren't too much to hear either. There's more quiet than any actual car noise, or just city noise. And the score is on a ten second playback, it's almost like they pooled al their rescources into just making the story and left the quality of game play in the dust. The controls are easily mastered and most levels that don't involve you killing your prey are pretty challenging. And for the most part, the last 10 levels [of this 30 something level game], are very challenging indeed... on hard.

I'll hand it to the game, it is fun to play, once you realize there are new weapons, costumes and a host of other goodies hidden... mind you, HIDDEN, within each level, one finds himself going back just to find the goodies. The storyline is really good and played out, enough so that the mini clips could probably amount to a ten minute mini-movie; but don't worry, you get plenty of game play.
I'll take another star off for not letting predator swim... or for that matter, for just falling through the water as if it were an abyss [they do this for half of the barriers in this game], and with the exception of one level [the warf], you don't really have to apply yourself in the art of staulking [and in the movies, that's 2/3s of what predator does!], once you engage the enemy, he usually knows where you're at no matter what. Bosses can see through your cloak, which makes it more challenging, but takes away the feeling of predator... Since even Good old Arnold had trouble seeing him in the movie.

With all of that said, who needs combos? ... I do.
I like to keep games interesting with mixed attacks and creative killing capabilities... you can see all the combos and killing methods within 29 seconds flat. Then you have to resort to using tools [plasma mines, spears, shoulder mounted plasma gun, and so on]. But I will thank them for giving us three weapon choices [telescope stick, and the maul to name two]. But other than that killing your prey is very, very, very, very... repedative and mundane. So much so, ill take another star off for the sheer repedativness of attacks and kills. Once you've seen all the attacks twice... You rarly go looking for enemies to kill, and just try to finish the level. That's how boring the moves are.

Laslty, there is a level where you get to go up against your arche nemesis, ALIEN! And I wasn't thoroughly disapointed in that, in fact that was one of the more interesting levels, though if only it was a little bigger with more to do.

In the end if you just want a game you'll be entertained with for a few days, this is a good rent [39.99 is a bit too much to ask in the long run]. it will save you the embarassment of buying it and totally wishing you hadnt.
Don't get me wrong, I give it two stars just because it was so much fun to play. For it's funness alone I give it two stars, and with such a great story to follow, it really was that much more fun. But I am very disapointed in that it's not free roaming, the graphics are horrible, and once you've gotten all the little goodies hiding in all the levels [and you must finish the game to do so], there is ABSOLUTLY no reason... ABSOLUTLY NO REASON,
to play the game again [even on a more difficulty level it just isnt worth it].

This game is ruined by repedativeness, and riddled with unrelentingly bad graphics that made me laugh at the opening words [2005 trade mark] the second time i turned the game on. Very fun the first time around [first few levels], 0 replay value [unless you wait for 4 months to play it again, like i did[Midway through the game] Then at least you make it a little fun].

On a fun scale, this game is a 4, because you actually get t play as predator and he looks way better than spidy did in spiderman2 [the game]. You get to kill as him, and for the first 30 seconds of being him/it/she [whatever it is] i add two stars for that alone. Throughout the game [the begining] when things are simple and fairly realistic [and your enemies CANNOT see through the cloak] this game is very very very fun [hence two more stars]... when you get creative and come in at different angles, use your secondary weapons, grab your victims and make a sport of throwing them off rooftops [or kicking], and of course... just ripping them apart in a methodical rage. This game is so much fun in the first five minutes... But it's worth four stars for just those five minutes. The rest is... one star minus five.

Don't buy this game, rent it, you won't be as disapointed.
