Undeniably fun and addictive, unfortunately will always be compared with doom because of Ai, not graphics.

User Rating: 8.8 | Prey (2006) PC
This game rocks. No doubt about it. The levels are brilliant, the graphics are beautiful, the weapons rock. BUT the artificial intelligence is lacking. This has so often been a sore spot for many FPS'es that are released these days. The fact is, since Prey resorted to the same kind of "mindless alien drones who don't know you've just thrown a grenade at their heads" that plagued Doom 3, people will always compare the two. I see the description of "Doom on Drugs" and it's true. Had 3dRealms chosen to implement more intelligent enemies, this could have EASILY distanced its inevitable association with Doom 3, while giving people less to gripe about. Regardless of this, it's pretty freakin' sweet to learn how to launch grenades up-side down and accurately. For this alone Prey is too sweet to miss. Oh yeah, and 7.5 is malarkey. Come on Gamespot. I trusted you guys...
