Decent story, tacky but decent.

I enjoyed Prey, not so much for the story, but for the game play. The weapons are all very cool looking, and are fun to play with. The way you control gravity in Prey is very innovative. I’ve played a lot of fps’s to date, none of which have done what Prey has.

The voice acting wasn’t all that good. The storyline was pretty boring, nothing new. Aliens coming to eat humans, yeah… pure genius. Fortunately these elements don’t ruin the game as a whole. Fps’s are about shooting. If you want a story, take your little candy ass over to the rpg world.

For people who don’t know how to strafe jump, the movement will seem very slow. I think a dodge or some sort of sudden speed increase movement would’ve made a nice difference. My main complaint would be the repetitiveness of the level design. I think if the first half of the game would’ve been in a real world setting, then the second followed the dark, industrial spaceship look. The game would’ve been a lot better. This problem reminds me a lot of Doom 3, and how I was just too bored with it to beat it.

Still a good game.
