Prey is a decent FPS, but it lacks that extra "umph" to make it a great game. The visuals are above average but the story was uninspiring. I disliked the fact that navigating through the level was at times a tedious chore. I would, at times, lose my sense of direction while switching from walking on the ceiling and floor and vice versa. The mission objectives could have been a lot clearer as well. There were times that I could have finished a level 5 to 10 earlier if only I knew what I was supposed to be doing (thank goodness for Gamespot's online strategy guide)
But on a positive note, The weapons were unique in the fact that you will not be fighting with machine guns and pistols, but rather weapons left by dead aliens. And the idea of defying gravity and walking on ceilings was innovative. Also, there are a lot of Acheivement points available from just completing the game, and that in itself shouldn't be a lengthy task (maybe around 10 hours). Overall Grade: C
