Among the saturation of FPS games of the era, this game was sadly overlooked. This was an insanely fun shooter that harked back to the shooters of the 90's, with an original and compelling story, very unconventional level design and a creepy art direction that straddles the border of terrifying and often disgusting. Enemy and weapon designs are innovative as well, though one of my few gripes is that there wasn't much variety. The gameplay is where the game shines the most: Portals (before the game Portal), gravity shifting and out of body experiences fit perfectly into the puzzles that regularly break up the combat based gameplay nicely. Vehicle play and the occasional boss fights also help with the pacing and the exposition is handled wonderfully with radio talk show host Art Bell occasionally chiming in via radio in often humorous exchanges with callers. The music is excellent, the graphics continue to hold up, the gameplay is solid, this game is easily a 10/10. My only real regret is it took me 11 years to finally play this game.Read full review

The Limited Collector's Edition includes a special metal packaging upgrade, two die-cast pewter figurines including the lead character Tommy and the alien Hunter, a free download to a Prey soundtrack, and "The Art of Prey" book featuring collected conceptual and development images from the artists behind Prey. This can all be yours for an extra Ten dollars. Prey is the new first-person shooter developed by Human Head Studios easily clears the bar set by American McGee's Alice. American McGee's Alice was a classic re make of Alice wonder land that take the a wrong turn when the really Alice leaves and return to find the evil queen in charge. To say the least, the story is unforgettable, but I find Prey story line a bit forgettable. The young Native American along with his grandfather and very hot girlfriend, Jen is abducted by aliens and teleport to a huge ship. Tommy manages get free and his first task is to find Jen. That task alone keeps him busy. Tommy talks a bit much in the game. Mostly cursing. The game gets interesting in the in, but until then it is mostly average. You star out with a wrench in the game and slow have weapon introduce to you during game. Follow by a few puzzle elements. I found the wall walking, change in gravity and spirit walking interesting. Some players may Wall walling is a bit disorient, for a while. But one of the best thing is wait for an enemy on a ceiling that you can walk on. I get a spider man type feeling before you rain death down on them. Or if you are feeling luck drop down on them. Their are a few different way to complete a level, mostly depend on the floor tour standing on. So practice wall walking. Tying in Tommy's Cherokee heritage to the game give him the unique ability to spirit walk. At any time Tommy and leave is body and explore and walk through sheild and round the ship. In spirit form their is a few puzzle to figure out to deaviate force field, but the puzzles are not that tough. Always remember to place your physical some where safe when you spirit walk. The most disturbing thing for me is frustratingly inaccurate weapons even when you standing still. Reminding me of Days of defeat/ Half life. This game was made for the X box and look better on X Box then PC. If you have an X Box, you may one to check out the graphic on the X Box Verison first. The graphics are nice but remind me a lot of Doom 3. just not as dark But a lot of the creatures seem to been taken from doom. The requirement on Prey are a bit high. Multiplayer is still the same at the other shooter. The Wall walking make it interest but it will fade in interest in a short amount of time. Portal hopping is nice but always be on the look out for an ambush and be careful when firing in to a portal or you may end up hitting yourself as you travel through them. Prey has the creep Doom 3 feeling. A lot of the game reminds you of Doom 3. Prey is enjoyable as a one time hot and heavy then move on. The story isn't much to speak of, but I really like the hot girlfriend Jen. Gravity trick keep game play interesting and puzzles don't get in the way. Death walks cut the frustrations of death that so many other shooters have. Prey is a a good shooter to get now, but its far from perfect. A good Shoot I can recommend and that is team Base with good AI is Star Wars Republic Commando and Half Life 2 if you haven't played them yet.Read full review
Prey is a kickass game some people should try! Is a lot scary than Dead Space and so on, if you like scary and action games you will love this game! Even if you just like scary or action games you will like this game! Prey is a mind crazy game so you need to have your mind on your place every place or you will die a nice die. But you never die in Prey you have the Indian history some save your ass every times you die! This is one of the best games I ever have try. But the limited edition got some kickass thing inside it like Pewter figures.
great item, been gaming for a while like it on xbox should love it on my pc.........................
