    Aliens turned Tommy's world upside down. It's about time he returned the favor.

    kinjirossd's Prey (Xbox 360) review

    Lackluster, pathetic attempt at a Doom-ish FPS

    Story:
    You star as Tommy, a Native American without any regard for his heritage, who was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately this never is truly elaborated upon. He only cares about saving his girlfriend and the dialogue gets to the point that if you hear one more whiny comment from him, you will reach the screen and choke him. Story is pretty bad considering who wrote it.

    Graphics:
    Straight Doom/Quake 4 carbon copy. Truly uninspiring

    Gameplay:
    It's a run of the mill FPS and it even fails to accomplish that fully. Aliens rush at you from portals and you shoot them. No challenge can be found here. Heck, you can even die all you want because the only consequence is a side trip to some a spirit world with flying manta rays or something of the sort. The games does try to introduce a gravity switch/railing twist, but after you've done that once, all future instances just impede progress. The weaponry does have an artistic flare symmetrical with the surroundings however, their functionality are FPS cookie-cutter.

    Sound:
    I can't even recall the musical score so that is self-explanatory

    Overall:
    Play it once if you can muster the endurance, get the easy achievement points and send it back

    This is a pretty lackluster, pathetic attempt at a review of a game that is nowhere near as bad as you claim it to be.

      Prey is fun, but comes out feeling average at best 0

        2K Games' hand is very recognizable in Prey. If you can imagine a Rapture-like atmosphere coupled with decidedly Doom-like gameplay, you have a pretty good idea of Prey is. However, the game is brought down by shooting action that lacks a punch, and levels that aren't always fun.    Tommy is not prepared for what is to come Prey puts you in the head of a troubled Cherokee called Tommy. He lives with his grandfather and girlfriend in a reservation. Tommy doesn't really like it there, so...

      Prey offers interesting ideas, but doesn't fully execute on them. 0

        Although I found Prey to feel a little dated having come out a little more then 3 years ago, I still enjoyed my recent playthrough of this diamond in the ruff of bargain bins. When this game was new, it recieved praise from critics for throwing a lot of unique gameplay elements at gamers and boasting some pretty interesting and detailed graphics and enviroments. While Prey does offer some interesting settings and cool gameplay mechanics, it fails to truly realize the full potential of what the...
