Product Description

Platform: Mac

Prey is a groundbreaking first-person shooter that turns the genre upside-down with new gameplay features and next generation graphics. Breaking the traditional first-person shooter format, Prey introduces innovative gameplay elements including wall-walking, portals, spirit-walking and gravity flipping, which allows for insane eight player deathmatches. Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation and going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and ultimately his planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Multiplayer, solo mission a bit short but good, March 2, 2007

I haven't played an FPS in a while and when I had some free time I downloaded the trial and what sold me was the multiplayer which you can play for free. The demo had 2 MP maps but the full version has 12. Most of the MP maps are 5 star. The only downside is finding a multiplayer game online is discouraging but findable. Usually there are a few people playing but when there is not I join a server then in a minute or two people start joining. Makes you think people are ot playing but they will join soon. the solo mission is really good. the demo of the solo mission has a lot of cut scenes and the levels seem small but once you get past that point on the full version there are some very clever map puzzles to figure out. It could be a bit longer on the SP.

I am using Aspyr'sPrey with a MacPro and OS 10.5.2. Unfortunately, the game is unresponsive to keyboard commands which pretty much makes the game useless as soon as you progress a level or two. Their technical support has been disappointing. I don't know if they have had other reports of this nature or whether the problem is limited to just my computer or computers of my type.

Loved the game--good graphics, nice innovations, nice weapons, ran smoothly on Mac. I like the option of turning off cursing.

But let's look at this from another perspective: the representation of Native Americans is just silly. It's as full of new-age stereotypes as you can get. It's supposed to be Cherokee, but Grandfather Obi-Wan "You must embrace your heritage"-Kenobi hangs out in saloons (where he continues to preach "you must embrace your heritage!") wearing full-blown 1800s regalia. Until he is killed by the aliens--in the middle of a "you must embrace your heritage" sermon. And the "Cherokee homelands" is a rocky desert covered in petroglyphs. Oh, and your girlfriend in the game prays to "Uniqua", which--I swear I am not making this up--is a character from "The Bakyardigans" kid's show. Really. And don't get me started on the "HEY-ya-ya-ya" chants and drums while Tommy "Spirit walks" with his hawk "spirit animal." Okay, it's a cool game, but did they get their ideas about Indians from geocities new-age websites?
