Despite gamespot's review, its still an amazing game. up there with Halo and COD
The weapons are well...typical FPS weapons, but I believe 3D Realms did a great job overall. Some guns use "AMMO" stations which are stuck on the wall and arent all that easy to find. You "LEECH" off of them which means you spend less time running around looking for AMMO(which is always a good thing).
Though the alien thing is getting old, the story is actually entertaining. The swearing is top notch and the attitude of the player is something you would expect from the party that made one of the best FPS ever(Duke Nukem 3D).
Personally, I think there are enough difference between Prey and a NORMAL FPS, that makes Prey worth owning. The multiplayer is top notch and the whole portal thing adds a strategy not even thought about in a FPS. I give 5 stars to 3D Realms for completing their difficult to program game and keeping the story great. They spent a lot of time focusing on detail and it shows.
- The story is great(up there with HALO 2, but still alien based).
- The weapons are interesting, but could still be better
- Level design is great
- Visuals are fantastic
- Overall time spent on production, fantastic....
