Prey is a fun shooter with good graphics and a pretty good story. The main character is fairly likable and the stroy has a few twists that keep you interested. The graphics are very good. The creatures are well done and interesting and the AI is fairly competent. The weapons are unique and fun to use but the controls to change weapons is clunky and downright annoying during boss battles as you scramble through your inventory of weapons trying to find the right one. Many people have criticized the "death walk" feature that prevents you from actually dying, but this feature didn't really bother me. The alien settings are unique and the anti gravity feature adds a fun element to the basic shooter premise. The cut scenes are very well done..especially the beginning sequence when the abduction takes place. The classic rock music and Art Bell sequences are a nice touch. The most annoying part of the game however has to be piloting the goofy shuttles. These things are slow, clunky and hard to manuever. The game could have easily done without the shuttles. Though it's not a classic game, it is still a fun game and well worth playing.
