Prey is one of the best looking, most engaging gaming and cinematic experiences I've ever had, and will impress anyone.
Gameplay: Despite what it looks like, Prey is a Sci-Fi shooter and not out to scare the crap out of you. It looks like a survival horror game, and even has it's share of creatures, but to put it in the best terms, it's Doom 3 without the scares. That's not a bad thing by any means, because it separates itself from the crowd by throwing in its own little touches. The alien ship has some extrememely weird effects on it, such as portals everywhere. The portals look great, and they can cause a lot of "WTF did I just do?" moments, which Tommy will point out in the game. The game also pays homage to Half Life with it's default weapon: a wrench. It's a ton of fun bashing the alien beasts over and over with it. Of course, it never feels like a rip-off of Valve's award winning series. The other weapons you encounter during the game range from your basic plasma weapons to a frog whose legs you rip off to create a bomb. The enemies range from zombies, to alien soldiers, to antibodies, to some kind of T-Rex thing, and many more. When you die in the game, you are brought to an indian spirit world, where you must shoot the souls of your enemies with your bow and arrow to return to life. The only downside to this is that it makes the game a bit too easy, my only true gripe with this game.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are excellent, and some of the best I've seen on the 360. The enviornments are vast, and detailed, and the character models are as well. Everything looks amazing and alive. Need I say more?
Sound: Here's another great aspect of the game: the phenomenal audio. The voice acting is great, the music is incredible (it's by the same guy who recorded Oblivion), there's some liscensed music thrown in in the first level as well. The aliens sound great, and every sound it great. The sound is probably even better than the phenomenal graphics.
Value: Aside from the incredible single player game, the game features some amazing multiplayer. The competition is fierce and pretty lag-free. It boosts the value even more than ever. It's great.
Bottom Line: Prey has been in development for ten years and is an experience no PC or Xbox 360 owner should go without. It's a top candidate for game of the year, and is by far one of the most innovative and different titles out there. It pushes the limits of first person shooters and simply can't be praised enough. If you've played G.R.A.W. and UNO to death, then you're bound to find an incredible experience in Prey. It's some of the best FPS action one can have, and you owe it to yourself to pick it up.
