I just finished Prey for the PC. Pretty freakin sweet.
The cinema level production was a treat to play. From the first abduction scene I could really feel the theatricality kick into high gear. I've never played a game where I felt like I could be in a movie, not just playing a game trying to be a movie.
Prey was a hell of a lot of fun. Each step of the way pushed forward the story and truly stayed exciting. Prey was a true treat.
That is not to say it set a new bar for gaming, or even FPS's. It was great for what it was, but even within FPS's there are diffent genres that require different styles. The level of theatricality in Prey would not work well in, say, the fast paced world of Unreal Tournament.
Prey kicked butt. It was revolutionary in some senses, and just damn good in others. It is not the messiah of FPS's I've been hearing and reading about, but if you haven't played it - Go Get A Copy!
If you have played it tell me what you think!
