Presentation: 71/2
It was so and so. The CG movies were cool, with some really terrible animating.
 
Graphics: 7
Meh.. Could use some real touchups. The levels were hardly any good looking either. Fun other then that. Expected the cities to be alot bigger though.
 
Sound/music: 8
Pretty bad voice acting, gun sounds are all horrible. The only good thing is the music and the sounds the predator makes.
 
Gameplay: 8
Lack of save/checkpoint function was extremely frustrating, some enemies was frustrating as well, other then that.. Yummy.
 
Lasting Appeal: 7
I still go back and play my favourite missions a little now and then. Unlocking bonus features was very nice.
 
OVERALL: 71/2 / 10

Presentation:  7/10 , i love the CG Movies. The menu is pretty cool. But its pretty simple, i love the ’rollover’ thingy flash behind the text thats highlighted
 
Graphics:  6.5/10 - the CG Movies and the predator were really well done. But the rest of the animations/graphics were far too sloppy.
 
Sound/music:  7/10 - Music was ok, its fitted the scenarios (the opera in a certain level) really matches the level. All the other music i dont perticuly notice so it must fit in. Sounds and voice acting are ok. But the narrorator(MOTHER) is terrible!
 
Gameplay:  7.5/10 - i found it very suitable. Fast and smooth. And the moves/attacks are all pretty cool but it would be better if there more unique looking moves
 
Lasting Appeal:  6/10 - I still paly it here and there. But the first few days are dam addictive! cant drag yourself away from it untill you complete it!!
 
OVERALL:  7/10 - Improve it by allowing you to uise all the unlocked weapons in previous levels!

Presentation: 5/10
Unspectacular cut-scenes using the same poor in game models. The menu screen was fine but loading times were ridiculous so that’ll drag the score down.
 
Graphics: 7/10
Based solely on the fantastic predator model. The enemies were basic and the level design passable.
 
Sound/Music: 7/10
Mostly poor voice acting. Good predator sounds. Music was up and down. The orchestral music early on is great, Alien-esque, but further on the music doesn’t maintain a similar standard.
 
Gameplay: 7/10
I find it hard to rate this accurately as the AI is ridiculous, enemies have roughly the intelligence of the chair i’m sitting on, maybe. They rigidly stick to basic routines which only change if you drop in at which point all normal enemies react almost exactly the same - walk around a set course until they see you at which point they run at you with no thought for their own saefty. Kill 10 of their friends and co-workers in front of them, they don’t bat an eye but roar really loud and they might run away. But the number of enemies and your situation makes it difficult and i enjoyed killing the handitards.
 
Lasting Appeal: 4/10
Once you complete all the missions you may want to go back and unlock all of the costumes. Maybe you’ll try getting those upgrages you just couldn’t have been bothered getting the first time round. Only a very few will play through the game twice.
 
 
Overall: 6¹/₂/10  
(not an average, based totally on my enjoyment of the game which was higher than any score i gave for the game’s single parts)

Presentation: It’s Predator throught out. The CG cutscenes were fucking ace too! 7/10  
 
Graphics: Not as bad as I Initially feared, the Predator model is excellent, but the levels and opponents are so bland. 7/10  
 
Sound/music: A score directly inspired by the movies, and the clicks and roars are all there. 8/10  
 
Gameplay: Meh... The controls are pretty terrible and are easily enough to put anyone off the game, but I’m not denying having the power to rip someone’s spinal cord out isn’t fun...    5/10  
 
Lasting Appeal: I still haven’t completed it, but there’s a bit of depth to it with the many missions, rituals and unlockable content. 6/10  
 
OVERALL: Restores the Predator’s pride after the ’Wussy’ treatment it got from AVP. It’s gorey and fun, Defo worthwhile.
