Prey (Xbox 360) Review,
July 28, 2009

"Prey is a novel twist on the standard FPS , whereby the main difference being gravitational - yes you can walk on walls / ceilings etc.
The weapons are quite varied and cool.
One of note is the leech gun- utilising nodes on walls that energy is drawn out of - giving various different 'types' of ammunition.
You would think that with the ability to walk on walls etc.- the game would allow for the definitive FPS exerience - but alas , the game is very linear.
You play a Cherokee Indian - who is abducted by aliens - and has to fight through waves of them to save his GF.
The graphics are quite nice , cut scenes arent that impressive -voice acting is adequate.
The fps rate is maintained well throughout.
Be warned I played this on a projector - and the switching of gravity can create some nausea , and had me reaching for the maxolon.
the length of play would be around 10 hours for a single player game , I havent tried the multiplayer.
I think a great game for a rental/ weekend, or picking it up for half price -it would be a decent buy .
Graphics 4/5
Sound 4/5
Longevity 3/5
Replay value 1.5/5
Overall 4/5"
