When I first started playing Prey, in the first 5 minutes, I was hooked. You are an Indian in a bar on an Indian reservation. The bar is complete with playable slots and video poker, a jukebox with many different songs, and even a T.V. that you can turn on and watch! It is a very complex storyline that eventually (very eventually) takes place in an alien spacecraft. You battle it out with aliens on gravity strips hanging from the ceiling, miniature planets, and even in small sphereical spacecrafts! The weapona are very different in the way that they are boilogical, almost living creatures that shoot bullets. It is a very good game for the first person enthusiast. It is also a very good game to play for the FPS rookie as well. Now the game is not perfect by far and I will explain now. I said that it was a good game for the FPS rookie because it is almost impossible to die..... perminately. See, every time you die you go to this "underworld" where you have to kill 2 kinds of evil spirits, blue and red. Red ones fill your life and the blue ones fill your spirit life. If you do not kill any at all, you start with half health and no spirit, depending on if you had any to begin with. So without the whole dying and having to start over pressure on your shoulders, it leaves this game almost too easy. The weapons can get a little irritating, and the enemies are as dumb as a box of rocks. The "sniper" rifle is fun but little effective. All in all, its a good game, but with little replay value.
