A great single player campaign though feels like a drudgery at some parts, delivers a fun furious fps experience.
User Rating: 9 | Prey (2006) PC
I sat down anxious to play Prey today and I beat it in one sitting although it took me some time. Given that it becomes clear that Prey is pretty much a story driven single player FPS with a somewhat lackluster multiplayer. It is slow at some parts but really shines in late game though unfortunately a little bit late. The game is set in a completely 3d enviroment. The writer of the review for the game called Prey a corridor craw. It does have its corridors but it also has a great 3d exploration feel to it. Being able to gravity wall walk, flying around in a shuttle add some new flavor to the old fps experience. The guns are a bit lack luster save a couple but it still delivers solid game play. Graphically Prey is a treat with its many different areas and effects. Additionally the portals around the game are very interesting and add some depth. Spirit walking is a bit tricky to understand how to use correctly in combat but it is necessary to solve many of the games puzzles which are abundant, challenging but not too frustrating. Boss fights are gimmick oriented in that you have to figure out how to beat them instead of just hammering on them with your weapons. To sum it up, Prey is fantastic visually, the developers have done wonders with the Doom 3 engine; seeing terrain form in front of your eyes is stunning to say the least. If you're looking for a fun story driven graphically beautiful FPS that contains both action and puzzles this is for you, if you're primarily looking for multiplayer then you might want to look at Battlefield 2 or CS: Source. I enjoyed playing this single player campaign which I cant say I have done recently with the exception of Half Life 2.
