It's like Doom with alot of details that you won't even have to pay attention to. Very basic, and very straightforward.
Well the story is very... basic. Boring? Bland. Your some indian named "Tommy" on an reservation and you get abducted. Basically leading you to walk around an alien ship looking for your girlfriend. Reminiscent of early mario games. tee hee.
Ok so the ship your on is apparently called "The Globe" and you wander around aimlessly for several hours. There are "Gravity Tracks" witch glow blue and can be turned on or off. You just walk up them and along them, relentless of gravity of the level. There are also blue glowing orbs that you shoot and flip the whole level to whatever side or celling or floor they are attached to. It's cool, but they don't really do anything cool with them.
Theres also energy locked doors witch u can use "Spirit Walk" to get through then disable the lock. these are never really used cleverly either. I'm just dissapointed this game had so many good ideas, but didn't quite use them right.
Whether it's a disgusting door that opens like a human's behind, or tubes with liquid flowing through them, almost everything is moving, or does when you shoot it.
The guns are also constantly mobile. Tentacles weaving about, ammo shaking. Practically breathing weapons are found among this strange ship but when you use them, they don't really have the kick I was looking for. Every gun is loaded with lame looking "Energy Bullets" or something. And at times, it's quite hard to tell if your actually hitting an enemy. They have just about no reaction at all.
The detail in this game is here, it's just a shame that Prey is so straightforward and non-explorable that you never quite get the need to want to look at anything around you.
On the same note, multi player is horrendous and it like plays like golden eye 64. Glitchy, too fast, and too hard to aim at anything you see, you'll just wander around with a grenade launcher trying to shoot anywhere near another player.
So if you would like to obtain another FPS that has its decent moments and several hours of decent game play, pick this one up for just $14.99
