Computer Gaming World opined praised the Amiga version's graphics but called the Commodore 64 version "extremely disappointing", and criticized the lack of a save game option as "extremely frustrating".[1] In Germany, Predator was put on the "Index" by the Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien (BPjM),[2] which made it illegal to sell or make the game available to minors in Germany, as well as making it illegal to advertise the game in any form.
