Prey

jimbo_n's Prey (Xbox 360) review

A superb, mindbending shooter.

A very underrrated shooter that I pretty much spent a whole summer playing, getting 1000/1000 achievementpoints, playing countless hours of multiplayer and replaying the campaign twice in a row. Prey was in development for like a decade and it came out being something completely different than originally intended but still awesome. Its an extremely oldschool shooter in the Duke, Quake, Doom vein and that is probably what gets me so excited. It uses the Doom 3 engine wich makes it look fantastic and it throws in stuff that really can only be described as revolutionary for the genre. It bends and twists every rule set up by shooters before it and leaves your mind completely blown before its over AND it throws in a very compelling and wierd story to boot. Prey was so good on so many levels, its a shame it didnt get more attention.

  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...
