Games: Prey Review
Posted by Zonk on Monday July 24, @03:25PM
from the little-game-of-aliens-and-indians dept.
Built with the Doom 3 engine and touting numerous innovations on the
First Person Shooter genre, Prey is a study in contradictions. While it
delivers on many interesting twists and environmental elements, the low
difficulty and hackneyed character design drains some of the novelty
from the experience. Despite frustratingly similar corridors and
brain-dead enemies, the quality of the innovation somehow combines with
the touchstones of retro-gaming to create that ephemeral quality: fun.
Much better than Doom 3, and with the new-car smell that Quake 4 was
lacking, Prey is a fully functional refit of the corridor-shooter
genre. Read on for my impressions of Human Head's latest.
