IGN: 8.5/10 rating + Editor’s Choice Award http://wireless.ign.com/articles/110/1103610p1.html “…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. And for three bucks, you can be, too.”
Gizmodo: This Week’s Best Apps http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/07/this-weeks-best-apps/ “Kudos to Chillingo for understanding, with their companion game to the new Predators movie, that I don’t want to play as a Predator-hunting Adrian Brody but rather an Adrian Brody-hunting Predator – and that’s just what they made me. The new game, which also works on the iPad, looks gorgeous on the iPhone 4, and lets you slash your way through people with all of Predators tech: wrist blades, cannons, net-guns, as well as transparency and thermal vision – that one’s particularly awesome. Good controls, great gameplay, and all-around excellent human-slaying action. $4 Also works on the iPad.”
SlideToPlay: 3/5 rating http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/robert-rodriguez-presents-predators-review “…Predators packs a lot in: a lot of moves, a lot of violence, and a lot of fun.”
Modojo: 4/5 rating http://modojo.com/reviews/iphone/predators/20100702/1059/ “…All of this makes Predators a must own. Not only is it one of the best movie licensed games out there, but it's also a sweet game in general. The blood, the attention to detail...just buy it now.”
TouchArcade: http://toucharcade.com/2010/07/02/predators-review-taking-scalps-at-an-app-store-near-you/ “…Predators is a faithful rendition of the source material, checking off all the gory boxes to satisfy even the headiest of cult followers. More importantly however, Predators successfully combines fun melee combat, light stealth gameplay and missions acutely based on the Predator arsenal to offer a different and engaging Predator gameplay experience on the iOS device. We only hope that future DLC can introduce more interesting level designs and additional missions to flesh out the existing content…”
148Apps: 4/5 rating http://www.148apps.com/reviews/predators/ …Predators is a little rough around the edges, but overall, it is a good game that makes great use of its license, and it being a universal app as well should be the start of a trend that other developers and publishers pick up on…” IntoMobile: http://www.intomobile.com/2010/07/02/game-review-predators-for-iphone-ipad/ “…Predators for the iPhone is an overall pleasant experience. Hunting your enemies is extremely satisfying, especially when you’re ripping them apart. The Predator techs also felt great to use, but they weren’t overpowering as the game limits their use. With 24 levels to play, Predators can certainly offer a couple of hours of entertainment…”
AppSpy: http://www.appspy.com/robert-rodriguez-presents-predators-review “…PREDATORS plays like a fine-tuned beat'em-up set in two relatively large areas where you have to complete various tasks to prove your prowess as a hunter….The detail is amazing, with each unit having a distinct identifiable appearance and behavior when dealing with Predators that are cloaked or running around freely…”
NoDPad: http://nodpad.com/2010/07/02/predators-out-on-the-app-store-2-99/#more-9473 “…The story is quite similar in the video game adaptation, but add 25 missions of madness, tons of weapons, and special abilities to get Predators the video game, or as they put it, “Robert Rodriguez presents Predators” game. Along with that, most of you will be happy to know that it is a universal app, meaning that it is designed for both the iPhone and the iPad. During my short hands-on preview time, I’ve had a ton of fun with it. It’s definitely worth a look at its asking price, and be sure to check back for our full review…” MacNN: http://www.macnn.com/iphoneappupdates/212/ “FOX Digital Entertainment and Chillingo have unveiled Predators, an action game based on the new Predators movie. Players take the role of a predator as it attempts to earn membership into the predator’s clan by eliminating packs of human mercenaries. Up to 24 hostile alien environments are included in the game.”
FoneHome.co.uk: http://www.fonehome.co.uk/2010/07/02/predators-iphone-game-released/ “...if you’re looking forward to the Rodriguez movie and fancy a third-person action game, it’s worth closer investigation.” ItchyThumbs.com: http://www.itchythumbs.com/2010/07/02/robert-rodriguez-presents-predators-on-iphone/ “…Robert Rodriquez comes along and gives us Predators, and while I doubt it’ll be any good, it’ll still be worth the watch… and play, as Chillingo has released the iPhone game version, Robert Rodriguez Presents PREDATORS, onto the App Store…”
iWorld: http://iworld.nowgoto.ws/applenews/predators-for-iphoneipod-touchipad “This is a very fun hack n’ slash game based on the movie Predators. This game is published by Chillingo and is a very great game that features awesome bloody fighting between predators and humans.” BrandsOnly: http://www.brandsonly.nl/iphoneapps/2010/07/02/predators-review-%E2%80%94-taking-scalps-at-an-app-store-near-you/ “…Predators is a faithful rendition of the source material, checking off all the gory boxes to satisfy even the headiest of cult followers.

OzcarGuide: http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/3491-top-iphone-apps-july With the movie debuting in a couple of days, the iPhone movie-based game has already hit the App store. We tested it on an iPad and iPhone 4 and must say it looks breathtaking (and lifetaking if you get a load of the weapons available). A cool little twist in this game is that you're the Predator and busy hunting those mercenaries (we never thought we would refer to Adrian Brody in that way). So if you want to be on the side of evil, this game lets the bad guys win for a change. The Predators iPhone app will run you $3. AppAdvice: http://appadvice.com/appnn/2010/07/review-predators-power-predator-hands/ “…Predators may be the best game available for the iPhone and iPad. It provides an amazingly enjoyable experience as you’re immersed in the idea of being a Predator. Only a game executed so well in every aspect could provide such a connection, and such a great gaming experience regardless of the platform. This game truly pushes the bounds of what iPhone gaming is, and sets a new standard for all games to complete against. Many movie based games sell because of the movie, but this is one that easily stands alone, and I’m actually going to see the movie because of the enjoyment of the game.” AppModo: http://appmodo.com/25001/predators-app-review-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch-why-waste-human-scalps/ “…Predators is only $2.99 for both the iPhone version and the iPad version. I have not played the iPad version, but based off of the amount of fun I had playing the iPhone can recommend it to you. I can’t wait to see the movie!”
Yahoo! Games/Appolicous: http://www.appolicious.com/games/articles/2304-predators-game-doodle-god-lead-a-stacked-games-of-the-week “…PREDATORS is as good as movie-inspired video games get, and just about as good as action gaming gets…”
Bi-Tech.net: http://www.bit-tech.net/blog/2010/07/09/iphone-review-predators/ “…Predators is worth picking up if you’re a big fan of the films, but otherwise you’d be best off looking at the better known dual-stick shooters for your mobile gaming fix.”
TouchGen: http://www.touchgen.net/predators-review-universal-app “…Predators lacks compelling story, structure and mechanics. I found the game to be dry, with the exception of the rare moment of happiness after pulling off a successful killing chain or “brutal cut.” If you are dying to play a brawler on your iPhone or iPad and don’t care that the game is highly repetitive and lacking control refinement, the three dollar entry fee may just be worth it for you.”
TechDigest: 4/5 rating http://www.techdigest.tv/2010/07/review_predator.html “…Predators does however handle its source material with care, is reasonably priced for the amount of fun to be had, and will let you laugh guiltily at the carnage you wreak on the tube to work. Forget the chopper; get to the App Store!”
MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38121784/ns/technology_and_science-games/ “…So color me surprised to report that the official game for the new "Predators" movie is actually pretty darn good. Color me even more surprised to report that it's not only a good game, but it's also an iPhone game. That's right, a big summer movie got nothing but a little iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch game — and lo and behold it works.”
Yahoo! Games/Appolicous: http://www.appolicious.com/tech/articles/2270-predators-star-wars-top-this-weeks-best-ipad-apps I don’t know about you, but I’ve never really been in the habit of running around and slicing off the heads of my enemies or impaling them on blades coming out of my arms. That is, until Robert Rodriguez presents PREDATORS ($2.99). Now, I can’t get enough. I am the predator, the foolish humans are my enemies, and I will run through the jungle, slicing them into pieces, gathering their heads as trophies and leaving their remains lying on the ground in a pool of blood and gore.
TouchMyApps: http://www.touchmyapps.com/2010/07/08/predators-in-review/ “…Angry Mob has done a nice job with this game, and it’s good to see that developers can create a movie tie-in that doesn’t deserve a quick exit to the bargain bin.” ... още »
„Дори да не сте гледали нито един от предишните части от поредицата, няма никакво значение, защото филмът ни връща в самото начало на историята", обяснява продуцентът Робърт Родригес.
Дружката на Тарантино избира за режисьор Нимрод Антал, тъй като е впечатлен от неговия драматичен романтичен трилър „Контрол".
Американецът от унгарски произход пък е почитател на оригиналния филм от дете и с охота поема задачата.
Елитни бойци от всички краища на света се приземяват с парашути на непознато място. Никой от тях няма представа как и защо се е озовал там. На пръв поглед ги свързват само две неща - всички са въоръжени и озадачени.
Скоро обаче разбират, че трябва да се борят за живота си, защото те са в ролята на плячката. А по-страшното е, че дори не са на Земята...
Напрегнатата неизвестност осмисля първата част на филма, в която героите се опитват да проумеят къде са и защо са там.
Сценаристите са внесли нови елементи в добре познатата стилистика и освен „хищниците" са създали непознати досега кучета, соколи и различни видове машини оръжия.
Въпреки това, въпреки изненадващото амплоа на Ейдриън Броуди (справя се чудесно като безскрупулен войник) и въпреки безспорния талант на Нимрод Антал, втората половина на филма затъва в клишета, които ни преследват до самия финал.
Все пак феновете на поредицата би трябвало да останат по-скоро доволни.
Носителят на Оскар Ейдриън Броуди ще изпълнява главната роля в продуцираният от Робърт Родригес прероден филм от култовата поредица „Хищници”, който ще излезне по екраните на 07.07.2010.
Други актьори, които ще участват са Дани Трейо, Алис Брага, Уолт Гогинс, Олег Таркаров и Махершалалхашбаз Али, като Тофър Грейс също е в преговори.
Родригес е написал сценарий с име „Хищници” (считан за 3-ти филм от поредицата) още преди да снима „Десперадо”, но поради слабият във финансово отношение „Хищникът 2”, проектът отпада.
Историята в новият филм ще се придържа към оригинала, като се очаква да бъде кървава и брутална с „R” рейтинг вместо “PG-13”.
