Anyone have "Prey"?

[Gig-O-Ram]

I just got the DVD edition of PREY. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, so I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it...if anyone has it.

Someone was telling me it was pretty cool, so I thought I'd pick it up. I can't wait to give it a look.

The demo sucked, plus the reviews have never been glowing.
By all accounts it's just a solid FPS, but nothing to get over excited about.

I enjoyed it and yes it's a FPS mainly but there are some features that make it more than that. You'll see when you have to traverse the walkways and there are a few puzzle's to solve. Not a bad game but not the best either.

I thought it was "Good". About a 7/10.
There are alot of puzzles and the storyline is interesting and unique. I didn't really enjoy it because I got stuck at one part of the game.

Yea I had to go find a walkthru online to get past a couple spots.

I think it's a 7/10 too. It's a little different idea, but still a straight-up FPS. I didn't like it much. Quake 4 was a better FPS.

An FPS with puzzles, eh? That's wierd, but I guess I'll see when I check it out. I was told by someone it was gonna be pretty cool, but maybe I'm confusing it with something else.
I wish games wouldn't do puzzles, or have you do something weird in order to get to the next part of the game. I have a game called "Scrapland" that I haven't picked up in a long time, because there's this race you have to complete (read: win) in order for the story to go on. I've played some of the "Adventure Company" games, but all the puzzles and running back and forth, talking to certain people in a certain order to get to the next part got kind of old.

The puzzles are kind of like the ones in Half-Life2 where you have to do something like find a code in the section your in to open a door or go thru a type of maze but most are not that complicated. I suggest you find a site with a walkthru in case you run into a place where you get stuck.

Maybe like in FarCry, where you needed to find access cards in order to open doors... I never played Half Life, or HL2, but I got what you're saying. I have never been above going to a walk thru when I get stuck on something - I did it for something near the end of FEAR, so I imagine this won't be any different.

I enjoyed it once thru but I don't think it's a game I'll replay for quite some time.
