Predators knows what you want. You want to be a badass space hunter with razor claws, plasma guns, and the ability to turn invisible so you can rip out the spine of an unsuspecting human before they know what hit them. That kind of blood-soaked action is precisely what Predators for the iPhone delivers, too, managing to be a better Predator sim than the recent Aliens v. Predator game for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Chillingo picked a great squad to make Predators. Angry Mob, previously responsible for the dual-stick shooter Guerilla Bob, doesn't mess around. Within seconds of starting Predators, you have you claws in the guts of a human and are sorting through what they had for breakfast. However, the odds are purposefully stacked against you and by the end of the first stage, your Predator is taking the great galactic dirt nap. No worries. This first stage (of over 20) is just to tease you about what Predators has in store.
Predators succeeds for a number of reasons, such as great controls. But what really puts it over the top is that it knows exactly what you want out of a Predator game. You don’t want to collect stuff. You don’t want puzzles. You want to maim, shred, and murder. You want to feel as powerful as a Predator. When you drop into thermal view and run up on your prey, hoisting them into the air on your claws before pulling them to pieces, you get a taste of that movie magic that made the original Predator such an enduring hit. The Predator is just a badass.
