Predator 2 – Sega Mega Drive (1992)
Predator 2 for the Sega Mega Drive is a top-down action game loosely based on the 1990 film. Players control a police officer navigating the futuristic city, rescuing hostages from a variety of criminal factions. The gameplay is fast-paced, with enemies swarming from all sides, requiring quick reflexes and strategic use of weapons. While the game attempts to capture the atmosphere of the film, the story takes a backseat to the intense action. Unfortunately, Predator 2 received mixed reviews upon release, with critics citing repetitive gameplay and a lack of depth. Despite its flaws, the game has garnered a cult following among retro gamers who appreciate its challenging nature and over-the-top action.
