Something made me decide to place this game many many years ago. Do I remember what that something was? No. Will I ever? No. Do I wish I could go back and change that? Yeah. This game. Oof. It’s bad.
So, story. Predators were out predating but then Aliens showed up and started to cut into the action. So the Predators decided to predate all over the Aliens. In a happy coincidence the Predators save mankind. *fireworks* yay, phsew, celebrate *fireworks*
It’s as bad as you’d think.
This is a side scrolling beat em up akin to Final Fight, Streets Of Rage, Sonic Blastman, Ninja Warriors… others? So you, as Predator, go around and Final Fight some Aliens. There’s, I think, 6 different types of Aliens in the game for you to predate and it gets very boring. You can punch, jump kick, you’ve got a little shoulder mounted pew pew cannon, and Aliens sometimes drop projectiles. The projectiles are great. The pew pew cannon is good. Everything else sucks.
Oh. And much like what happened with Bayou Billy… the enemies in the NA release of the game have more health.
It’s as bad as you think.
The graphics… where do I start with the graphics. Imagine you took a box of pixels and got em kinda warm. You left em in the car on a warm summer day. So now your pixels are kinda soft and mushy. And then you put them into a blender. That’s the graphics.
The character sprites are actually pretty good. Large, well defined, impressive. But if anything in this game has more than 4 frames of animation I will be very surprised. Imagine a little kid playing with action figures. There’s not really a lot of time to articulate the figures, they just kind of slide around and mush up into either other. That’s this game.
The backgrounds are just big gross globs of color. It’s hard to tell what anything is other than a big gross glob of color.
It’s as bad as you think.
I believe there is music in this game. I’m almost positive. Can I tell you anything about it? No. Absolutely not. I’m sure it’s on the same level as everything else in the game. Like… low budget 80’s-90’s action movie. But the direct to VHS kind.
It’s as bad as you think.
So. To summarize. It’s as bad as you think.
