Description
Bad men, bullets and grenades aren´t the only things to fill the horizontally
scrolling playfield.
Innocent bystanders run around like headless chickens, and if you shott too many
of them you can kiss your badge goodbye.
But what of the Predator? Bad luck - the creature you came to see plays a background
role in the early stages, using its chameleon-like abilities to blend in with the scenery
until the finale. Mind you, it does have a habit of taking out a few of the bad guys for
you - just for fun.
Sadly, Harrigan´s trusty 45 Magnum has a slow fire-rate and, despite being the most powerful
handgun in the world, a single shot isn´t enough to despatch foes. It´s frustrating, but more
so is the fact that the proceedings slow down when there´s too much happening on screen.
Al least the Magnum´s ammunition is in unlimetd supply, unlike the other weapons picked
up along the way.
A few less adversaries but with more prominent behaviour and distinguishable characteristics
would have helped, and a greater contrast of colours certainly would - intense concentration is
required to make out who´s who and what´s what and it´s enough to make your eyes water.
