The game is very simple - everything that moves wants a piece of you. Sometimes the Predator tries to hunt you with his famous laser-sights and you have to avoid it, but sadly there's nothing to it more than going around and killing other soldiers. Finding the alternative weaponry helps, and the trick at the end of the game is a nice touch (provided you don't have the 'Fast' version, which is bugged and unbeatable).

Welcome to the jungle, Dutch. You arrive with only the clothes on your back. You see tree-covered ledges ahead of you, mostly blocked by piles of rock or cut by bottomless chasms. You need to jump from ledge to ledge to find weapons, and to find the cave that will lead you to the next stage. Until you find a machinegun, a laser rifle, or a grenade, all you have are your fists. Your first job is to find a weapon fast. Meanwhile, you must dodge or destroy guerillas before they destroy you. Watch out for scorpions. One touch from them and you lose a life point. There are other creatures including moving boulders. If anything moves, get out of the way, jump over it, or shoot it. You can duck and shoot at the same time, a good way to waste scorpions. But you can't duck and punch at the same time.
