The 20th anniversary of the best Predator video game
Predator: Concrete Jungle is a third-person action video game released in 2005, developed by Eurocom and published by Vivendi Universal Games. It's available on PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Overview:
The game is set in a futuristic urban environment and stars a Predator (Yautja) who has been disgraced after a failed mission in 1930s New Way City. A century later, he returns to the now-dystopian Neonopolis in the year 2030 to restore his honor by cleaning up the mess he left behind — which includes humans using stolen Predator technology.
Gameplay:
You play as the Predator, using classic tools like:
Plasma caster
Wrist blades
Cloaking device
Thermal vision modes
Combistick and smart disc
The gameplay blends stealth and combat — you're often encouraged to stalk enemies and remain unseen, though you can go full-on violent too.
You complete missions that involve assassinations, sabotage, and retrieval, with occasional boss fights and flashbacks to earlier parts of the Predator's life.
Style and Atmosphere:
Dark, gritty cyberpunk aesthetic
Heavy on sci-fi and noir themes
Lots of brutal kill animations (which fans appreciated)
Reception:
It received mixed to negative reviews at release. Critics cited:
Clunky controls
Poor camera angles
Repetitive missions
But it developed a cult following among Predator fans who appreciated the lore expansion, setting, and feeling of being an actual Predator.
