About Predator 2
Predator 2 is a 1992 second video game adaptation of the film of the same title, developed by Perfect 10 Productions and Teeny Weeny Games and published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was released for the Sega Genesis, Game Gear, and Master System. The game is played in a third-person isometric view, with great swarms of easily-killed bad guys, who appear through one-way doors scattered throughout the level. Weapons not only include faster machine guns and shotguns, but also a few highly-advanced Predator weapons the player can pick up and use. Each defeated gang member drops drugs that can be picked up and automatically sent off to the "drug squad" for points. No sounds or music from the film get used, but stills scenes from the film do introduce the levels.

Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Sega Master System version
A horizontal-scrolling shooter conversion that Mean Machines Sega found very close to the Mega Drive game.
Predator 2 was developed by Teeny Weeny Games and published by Arena Entertainment, released in Europe in January 1993. Mean Machines Sega called it a conversion of the Mega Drive game based on the movie sequel. The Master System version scrolls only horizontally, instead of the eight-way scrolling of the Mega Drive game, and its graphics are poorer but not that bad by Master System standards.

“Another nnovie monster romp, this time through levels of high action but low lastability — it’s too easy for true shoot-’em-up fans, except for the horribly difficult final section.”
“Jerky scrolling, a high difficulty level, boring gameplay and poor sound. The poorest version of a reasonable game. Yawn!”

Before you buy
This came out in Europe, so buy the European cart. The loose price sits a little below the middle of the European-only group, and the look-alike risk is low. Look for the manual in a complete copy.

The Sega Genesis version
A competent but repetitive movie shooter that sits above the middle among US carts.
Predator 2 on the Genesis was developed by Perfect 10 Productions and published by Arena Entertainment. It came out in North America in 1992 and in Europe on 29 October 1992. You play the Danny Glover character, hunting the Predator through seven levels built around scenes from the film: rooftops, streets, the subway and finally the alien's ship.
Electronic Games in December 1992 found it a little repetitive but thought the quality of play held up, and gave it a solid score. Diehard GameFan compared it to Smash TV with the freedom to move around, but found it too average from start to finish. Mean Machines Sega later described the Genesis game as pretty good, if a bit easy.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Force Issue 11 | November 1992 | ADE 66% |
“Still Predator 2's frenetic blasting action can be most enjoyable. … Predator 2 is probably a good choice for those let down by the sadness that is Smash TV.”
“The control is excellent and the music goes well with the game”
“The graphics and sound don’t really show off the Genesis’ capabilities. Although, nice digitized movie images appear between levels.”
“Predator 2 could’ve been a really stunning licence. As it stands, it’s a pretty mediocre shoot-em-up. Only purchase if you’re a fan of games of the Mercs genre.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. The European cart usually costs less than the US one, loose or complete. It carries little fake risk, so the usual checks on a complete copy are enough.
