Its been so long since a good sci-fi FPS came out since the Halo series and all I have to say about Prey is WOW!

Graphics~ The graphics are amazing a little better on the PC but if you have a 360 and a somewhat good hi-def tv it will work just as fine even if you have a normal old model tv. Back to the graphics they are truly amazing, the enviroments are really neat, real nice hi-tech futuristic alien looking levels, I mean the art to the game is what made the game. I gave the graphics a 10/10

Gameplay~ The gameplay is great with its really amazing ideas like the gravity effects. The thing that really lured me was the warp portals they were really a nice idea to put that into the levels so you can use they for doing various tasks on the storyline missions. The controls have a nice feel to them and if you don't like it you can customize your controls to a certain layout that fits you best. Another feature I like is that there is no HUD its just a mini tommy on the screen that shows you your health and your spirit mode health. The Fighting system is amazing not only can you kill your foes with a wrench and crazy alien weapons of your choice you can switch to a new mode called spirit walk when in spirit walk you leave your body to do various tasks that your human body can not do for example in the game you will see alot off doors sealed off from a force field now you can't go through it unless you use spirit walk to go and then press a button to take down the force field. Or you can kill your foes with it too. I gave the Gameplay a 10/10

Storyline~ I enjoyed the story alot because of the facts that it is not a really complex story but still good as they kept it simple. Its about a man named Tommy and he has a girlfriend who owns a bar and Tommy is a Indian who does not believe in his religion and is always not wanting to believe in it and is cracking jokes to his grandfather about their faith who is pushing him to start believing his faith. So one night at the bar hostile aliens attack earth and while abducting all the humans they take Tommy, Jen (Tommy's girl) and his grandfather on an hugh alien ship where Tommy has to fight to save himself the earth and his two loved ones. I gave the story a 8/10

Online~ Is horrible its always lagging and what not. I gave online a 5/10

So I hope all you gamers out there will enjoy this review as much as I enjoyed Prey and encourag all you people out there who want to buy this game. In just a last few words this game has some nice replay value like once you beat the game on normal mode you get to play over but this time around there is arcade machines in Jen's bar you play game like Blackjack,Poker face,and a Pac-man type game. If you beat this game on normal mode you unlock concept art 1 and if you beat it on hard mode you unlock concept art 2, these concept arts just show you renderings of the game. In my opinion this game is worth the $60.00.
Its a good fun game to pick up and really get into it

An amazing shooter out of this world!

Prey is not your usual shoot em up... it combines strategic and puzzling game play to the midst of it to keep you from getting bored! Prey starts of in your girlfriends bar when it is suddenly attacked by some weird craft... you are then in a the aliens space ship when it breaks down and your left alone to tackle what lies ahead on the ship. The game is hugely interactive and puzzling. Like for instance... something may not always seem as a route out of your current location: i looked into what seemed like an empty doorway in the centre of the room as i looked through all i could see was the opposite wall of the room i was in... but when i looked around the other side.... it was a completely different room! The game keeps u in positions like this to make you spectate and look over your environment more than you normally would do if in your usual shooter. Dying is no longer a possibility as there is something new introduced from the makers of "Bullet-time"... its called "deathwalk". When you die you appear on what seems like this strange planet filled with all these different birds floating around a weak centre spot. You see your corpse rise then smash through the ground sucking you back in to your current location... so dying is no longer a bad thing. The game also lets you take on a different form of body as you play as Tommy the Cherokee. You can switch into what seems like a phantom/ghost. You can use this skill you your advantage. Go through forcefields and deativate them on the other side allowing you to pass through... clear the way of enemies before you enter the room so on and so forth. Prey has a wide variety of some stunning and disturbing imagery
Stunning: Scenery when you look out of windows and see how well detailed everything outside is! Disturbing: Strange creatures spitting arms and legs and feet at you as you walk by, the slave workers, the fact you see children being killed or killing each other. The games graphics are far from dissapointing! They offer so much realism you feel like you could reach out and grab it (with HD adapters and televisions).
The sounds of Prey give off the eerie feel of the place.. sounds of creatures, tortured beings, clanging of metals and outbursts of gunfire all take place around or with you. Overall prey is different... to find out more on it visit the website or JUST BUY IT!

This game is deffinately intriging, when i first started playing it i couldn't put it down. This is probably the worst thing about the game, that it is so addictive that you pretty much beat the game in two or three days depending on the difficulty. Some parts in the game can get a little hokey and the boss is really depressingly easy on all difficulties. the story line is catchy and interisting and the gameplay is crazy. with halo like first person shooter to these weird puzzles and mazes that can take hours to get through. overall this game great and everyone who likes weird shooter magical games should try this out.

You Can't Put It Down

Prey is the best FPS you will fine on the Xbox 360.

Graphics- The graphics are very nice. The characters are done very well and details make this game very nice. The enviroments are the best I've seen since Gears of War. The graphics get a 5/5.

Gameplay- This gameplay is like nothing that has been done ever before. With portals that take you from one place to another and walking on ceilings, this game really messes with your mind. I was so amazed by this idea that I didn't want to put the game down. The spirit walk was a very cool idea and they used it well in the game itself. The controls are very easy to use. I did think they should of had a action button instead of shooting being mixed with the action button, yet it still didn't bother to much. The gameplay gets a 5/5.

Storyline- This storyline is one of the best I've played in a very long time. The story worked so well in this game. Some games you just have a story but the game itself forgets about the game and you just kill things and it gets very boring. This game kept me hooked for a very long time. The game will last you quite a while. Not a short game. Definately worth your time. Storyline gets a 5/5.

Online- This is where the game took its big fall. This game has nobody playing online due to the fact that it lags 24/7. Don't let this hurt the fact that this game is a definate buy. The storyline will keep you very entertained. Online gets a 1/5.

Nice

Amazing game, but don't play if you get motion sickness or dizzy from illusions cause there's a lot of that and it will f#%! with your head. (Of course it didn't bother me)
