Prey (2006)

Pretty and innovative, but too easy.

Tried the demo before I purchased and was really impressed. The revamped Doom 3 engine makes the game look great. The portals in the game are used to great effect. But the thing that got me was the way the game played with gravity, hanging upside down in the ceiling, shooting at enemies running on the walls was awesome. So I thought this was a surefire hit.

After playing awhile though it became more bland. The weapons wasn't that fun to use, and the games "death walk" will let you continue the game right on the spot you died. Thus making the game too easy.

The multi player continues the same no-frills game play as in Doom 3. Sometimes fun in small doses, but nothing to really make you want to come back for more.
