User Rating: 7.9 | Prey (Collector's Edition) X360
Prey one of a few FPS on the 360 has finally seen the light of day, was it worth the wait is what you may be wondering. The answer yes. It is by no ways the game that it was hyped up to be but it is a fun 5-7 hour blast on board an alien ship. Prey is straightforward despite its use of gravity shift to make the player feel that they don't know what is up and what is down anymore. After the into is over and Tommy (your character) is taken onto a massive alien ship along with his family you are thrown into all the elements of the prey universe that is designed to mess with your head. It is fun as you use portals to find new areas in the game and shoot switches to change what is the the floor and what is the ceiling. You are on a misson to rescue your remaining family and to do that you must explore the ship and find what is behind the strange things that occur at every corner. The game levels are fairly short but the game never gets dull. You will find new weapon upgrades so every few levels you get a new toy to play with. You also have the ability to escape your body via "spirit walk". In Spirit walk you leave your body behind and become a ghost like figure. The game uses spirit walk to solve problems as Tommy can only get to certain platforms though using spirit walk. When Tommy is shot down in battle he returns to Spirit mode and has the opertunity to gain health by shooting ghosts with his bow+arrow. (sounds strange to you....this IS a strange game).
ONLINE MODE- has all the tricks of the single player game, using the weird level design to give a twist to the usual death match gameplay seen in most games. It offers a fine deathmatch or teamdeathmatch game online which is a good alternative to something like Call Of Duty or Quake 4.
Conclusion
So the game may be short and not as mindblowing as was expected but it is alot of fun while it lasts. Players won't have a problem revisiting the single player as it is short but has some interesting twists and the story isn't bad. Online play gives it more life after the main game is over. If you have been wondering if this game is worth it then I would recommend you give it a try. The game can be completed quickly so even a rent will let you see everything the game has to offer. Enjoy!!!
