One of best shooters I have played
User Rating: 9 | Prey (2006) PC
For me, the FPS has always been best on a console. That was one reason I kept passing up Prey for the past two years. Wow, what a mistake on my part. The game has a fun and interesting storyline with excellent control. I have found many PC FPS's to be too jumpy in the past, but not this one. The learning curve for this jump is only about three minutes. This is great because gaming is for fun and relaxation, not studying for an hour on how to play the game. The graphics are excellent for 2006 and the Doom 3 engine used to build was greatly improved. The programmers manage to remove that bounce that Doom had and the following Bioshock. One of the great features of the game is the Death Walk. If you die, you go to the spirit plane to kill ghost and build up life and spirit energy. This removes so much frustration from the game. Instead of dying in a heavy firefight and restarting a level, you can die and come back even stronger. One side note, the lighter is greater because you don't need to search everywhere for fluid. So, if you are looking for a fun shooter to pass the time but not an all out war fest then this is the game for you.
