Unjustifiably Overlooked: Prey

28
Gamer Limit "It's a crying shame when a game falls into that lonely category of unjustifiably overlooked games. For some unknown reason they drift beneath the hype radar like unappreciated stealth craft with a one-way ticket to the bargain bin."

1.1 - It was pretty good.
And for the time it came out, it was one of my favorite shooters. The only issue I heard about it from those that did not like it was that it was too easy and that you never really died.

Very sharp game, and it was "Easy". You couldn't die, but it didn't feel cheap like Bioshock did. The mini game when you run out of health was enough to distract you from the action and reset yourself. It was a surprisingly well executed game anyone could play.

Well, it's a good shooter, with some twists that make it a worthwhile experience. But it was hyped as revolutionary before it came out, and when it wasn't, people kinda skipped it. Too much hype can also harm a game.

I really liked the opening scene in the bar...and the scene where you "land" on the tiny asteroid-object for the first time was pretty cool as well.

It's a shame they didn't develop the spirit features more, though...they should have been the focus, not an additional goodie.

"I came here only to kill you." -best line from the game and trailer

I bet im not the only one that turn that human squishing machine in the game.

Most gamers probably bought this game on Steam when it was on sale for $5.

This game is mind bending. As said in the article, the games physics will throw you for a loop. But it is fun to switch the gravity around on a room full of baddies and watch them fall in all different directions.

wow, i am supprised you guys have not heard of it....

its one of those games that was in development for years ( bit like too human ) and it was one of the first games announced for the 360.

It was a very good game. it didn't quite turn out as i expected, i remember seeing some stuff in the trailers which didn't happen in the final game, but i was so looking forward to.

its a bit old now, i don't know what you would make of it now if you went back to it, but it was a must play game at the time.

Played it from beginning to the end. The last levels were among the coolest I've ever seen in a FPS.

11 - wow, i forgot about this game
i have to agree, this game was great! especially for when it came out, had slick graphics, awesome level design and gameplay design. pretty good storyline too.

i always wondered why this one didn't get the props it deserved, is still one of my favs, need to go back and play again sometime.

especially if your a fan of FPS games, you need to pick this one up. there is some really unique stuff in this game.

Your profile description makes no sense when I actually see you post. Is there some sort of overlying satire that I am missing?

13 - good game
graphics were not what i'd call next gen and not being able to die(nice idea with the mini game, but got repetitive quick).

it is a very worthwhile play though.

I see this game in almost every bargain bin I come across. I think I will be picking it up the next time I rustle through one.

Prey is awesome. One of those few single player games that me and 4 roommates sat down and traded off until we beat it. It's hard for a game with no co-op to captivate and hold that many peoples interest. I'm excited for the sequel.

Great game. I liked at the beginning part when Art Bell was doing his radio show. I used to listen to him all the time. I loved the portals and that one part of the game where you go through a portal and appear on a small sphere inside a glass case.
