Predator 2 (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
76A complete playthrough of Arena's 1992 Sega Genesis shooter, Predator 2.
Played through on the default difficulty level.
It's pretty awesome that you get to play as Danny Glover. He controls far better than he does in the NES version of Lethal Weapon. Anyway, it plays like an odd mix of Alien Syndrome and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, but it works fairly well.
The graphics aren't so hot in-game. They'd be alright by 1989 standards at the Genesis launch, but compared to stuff coming out in 1992, this is pretty paltry. The still photos do look pretty nice, the music is awful (but in one of those humor inducing ways, it's like a 70s B movie rendered on an FM chip), and the difficulty level is really uneven - the game is pretty much a cakewalk until you get to the final level, and then good luck. It suddenly shoots up every enemy with equal doses of steroids and PCP and let's you loose. It can be brutal, though running away from everything is a completely worthwhile strategy :)
It may sound like I hate the game, but I actually really enjoy this one. I can't really pinpoint a whole lot about it that makes it stand out in a positive light, but its wily charms might hook you like they did me. Damn you, Danny Glover, you heathen temptress.
