Play Predator 2 (USA, Europe) Online

Predator 2 came out on the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Arena Entertainment. It was part of that wave of movie tie-ins that tried to capture the look and feel of the source material, even if the hardware had its limits. You could tell they were aiming for something gritty and tense, something that stood out from the more colorful platformers of the time.

You play as Lieutenant Mike Harrigan, moving through a side scrolling city hunting down gang members and, eventually, the Predator itself. The game is structured screen by screen; you clear enemies in one area before moving to the next. Key mechanics include picking up different firearms dropped by foes, managing your limited ammo, and watching for the Predator's cloaking effect. It's a difficult game, with enemies swarming you and the Predator appearing without much warning. Playing it feels like trying to survive in someone else's hunting ground.
