"What happens when you mix hungry monsters with a need to save the world? You somehow get Koei's newest DS game, "Prey the Stars." It's one of the oddest, and most unique titles to grace the portable platform in a while. As an added bonus, it can also be a lot of fun, and a really satisfying experience, especially for anyone looking for a new multiplayer game to play with their friends.
"Prey the Stars" starts off with a rather wacky, slightly humorous, and, overall, pretty random story line where you, the aforementioned hungry monster, need to eat everything in sight to save the world. You play as one of four creatures looking to devour everything in their path, and not let anything get in their way as they do so. The single player campaign is full of goals and missions to complete as you make your way through the game, moving on to bigger and better meals along the way. As you advance..."

In the game you select a monster and find yourself on a level filled with food and/or objects and three other monsters, and to win you have to eat as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Each item you consume increases your score; the monster with the highest score after all the objects have been."

From this pile of weirdness and bright colors, we are beset by games uniquely Eastern in their presentation and gameplay, utterly alien to American gamers used to muted grey and brown palettes and guns and gore galore. Once in a while, a real gem pops up from this rather hodgepodge collection of titles, and we get crossover hits like Katamari Damacy. Prey the Stars was hoping to find similar success, but ultimately, it ends up being a weird game that has a decent multiplayer component."

I am not surprised by that score from him, since he has been playing it a lot since we got it a month or two ago. He really enjoys the creatures in the game, unlocking the new levels, and collecting the new costumes (skins) for each of the four different characters you can choose. The game has a nice pick up and play style of gameplay, but also can keep him entertained for multiple hours. We even had to tell him to turn it off a few times over the weekend, since he was playing it non-stop."
