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.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
Graphics are sweet. Some of the character models could of used some more attention like The Grandfather and Jen. They look kinda blocky and emotionless. The enemy characters look cool and unique. Gameplay: This game is very similar to alot of other games. Quake anyone. Aliens using humans for food and other uses. If you like Quake you'll probably like this game. The storyline has a twist other than just dominating the planet. Play the game and find out. It gets deep at the end. The weapons are very cool, but are just variations of the most common weapons used in FPS today. Like instead of a normal shotgun you find a weapon that shoots acid with the same type of spread. The weapons all look organic like if they are alive.Something new is spirit mode, where you leave your body and can move through forcefields and sport your bow and arrow. You also walk on walls throughout the game to get through obstacles. In the end the game is pretty easy with quick levels. Multiplayer is alot of fun. The replay value is in getting all those multiplayer achievements.Read full review
Prey is an innovative game that has a lot of things that other games just don't have like portals that you can throw grenades through, anti-gravity floors, weapons in the form of creatures, and an alien abduction storyline(no anal probe in this one though). The 'Doom' engine shines brightly throughout the entire single player game. It is pretty short, sweet, and freaky up until the end of this one. Never really scary though except when giants are chasing you or alien raptors. The entire ship is a living entity and can lead to some pretty disgusting moments throughout so be warned. It's really just like playing through "Alien" except with less scary aliens. Oh and the thing you will love and hate is the fact you can never die. You love it because you don't die but you hate it because you are forced to play the same mini game over and over when you do die. Online is not a factor in favor of the game or else it could be a 5/5. Constant connection difficulty causes problems for everyone except for maybe the first few connected. If you are host there is no problem at all. Same usually goes for second and third players but anymore than that and the lag will probably start. Still a great game to play even with the glitches of multiplayer. Oh and why no split-screen? Shame on you 2K games. Rent before you buy. 3.5/5 The collector's edition comes with some cool stuff but not really worth the cash. Check ebay for the bonus items or a cheaper copy if you just have to have them.Read full review
COLLECTORS EDITION OF PREY!! This game is simply amazing. Its about time the Xbox 360 has a decent game to play, one that challenges your mind and is well as i liek to say EYE CANDY to the Gamer. Playing as Tommy the main character, you will experience an emotional story of love and sacrifice as you battle the evil alien race. The character uses his powers to save his girlfriend and the rest of his people from the alien threat. You develop spiritual powers throughout your journey that are just awesome! This game is soo much fun, i recommend it highly on any x box 360 owner, it reminded me of a DOOM 3 kind of gameplay with the endless action. The game is rated M for mature it has "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Strong Language" taken from what i said on the rating on the box. all in all a GREAT GAME and WELL worth THE MONEY!!! Not only is buying this game a great investment, but you get some real cool additions to the limited collectors edition!!!! you recieve two pewter die-cast figurines and a book with all of the artwork that went into the game, all of the concetual and development images.This is a real nice boolet for somebody who apreciates artwork in games, This all comes in a tin package including the gameRead full review
This is a good Game for those who seek a different story line in the gaming. This is a good first person shooter not a great one but on my list it has a High Replay Value. You start out in this game as an American Indian in modern Times. Then aliens invade the planet. Good storyline and good play make this a must for the Xbox 360.
