Great fun, but too short.

The title says it all. Great fun, inventive beyond words, and an awsome story line, but its short enough that I'd advise waiting for the price to drop before you buy it.

Good first person shooter. You never really die because you end up in the spirit world where you get to recover and fight again. Some levels take a little more effort to figure out the maze. I needed to go to a third party site to help me through one level. If I would have looked on the floor I wouldn't have needed to. I would recommend it.

PREY!!!

Prey dominates. Enough said. The graphics were amazing, storyline kept me playing for hours at a time. 3D Reams use of the DOOM3/QUAKE4 engine shows off what this amazing technology can do. System requirements aren't too steep as this game came out in 2005. Its fairly cheap and well worth the money.

This game can now be found for between $10-20, and is well worth that price. Plenty has been said about the game. The story is well written for an FPS. The handling of death (visible in the demo) and the ease of use of the weapons and pleasant puzzles that are simple enough to keep the pace of the game going are refreshing.

That said, keep in mind that that $20 you're thinking about spending on this game will just buy you a single player game. I got the opportunity to play the multi-player game via the demo, but I swear - there's just as many people playing the demo as there are the real game: 0-2. I've never seen more than 2 people total, across all available servers, in either the demo or the full game. If you're looking for a multiplayer FPS for online play, you're apparently looking at the wrong game, given the apparent death of the community of players.

:Update - Though there are many, many idle servers in the current build of the game, there is often one that lights up with 3-5 players at the end of the week. Still a largely dead community, but there are some multiplayer matches to be had on weekends. Everybody seems to congregate at the same server, regardless of which, but there still isn't ever an adequate number of players to get a decent CTF match going. All DM or Team DM all the time.

Try This!

Inintially, I found this game quite difficult to play and understand. As I perservered I became more and more hooked, as the game has several unique aspects that I had not experienced before. While it plays like a regular first person shooter, its strength lies in the creative puzzles that the player has to solve to continue through many stages. While I had to resort to walkthroughs several times in the early stages, I learned the approach and allowed myself the necessary patience to work it through. It's really fun and challenging.

I don't know why I waited so long

This is a fun game. Weapons, enemies, and environments are imaginative and seriously twisted. Portals and gravity play make for some interesting puzzles too.
