Prey Demo Impressions
By: Avinash Bali   |   Jun 24, 2006

Prey needs no introduction, so in case you've emerged from a bomb shelter after eleven years, open theP door and climb back in. Just kidding, I'll fill you in as we move onto the demo. The game starts off with you in the toilet of a seedy bar where you're mustering the courage to ask your girlfriend to come live with you in the city. As you're about to make your (not-so-smooth) moves, she, your grandfather (yeah, he was chilling at the bar too) and you are abducted by pesky aliens (talk about bad timing). Now these aliens aren't the cute "From home" kind off aliens; they're hideously ugly and have a gazillion ways to mutilate, torture and maim humans. Anyway, while you're on a conveyor belt of sorts, some dude busts you out and you're off to save your grandpa and your girl. 

 

 

You'll start off with a wrench (that you pick up before a certain bar brawl) with which you'll be able to hammer some alien nasties, after which you get the actual firepower (2 weapons in the demo). Everyone knows the highlights in Prey are the portals and the anti-gravity stairways, and man do they make for some highly disorienting (in a very good way) gameplay. You'll find yourself entering one portal not knowing where it leads or what may come out of it. Since the game's using a modified version of the Doom 3 engine, it looks badass and the mother-ship you're on feels organic, alive, slimy and repulsive; in short it's not someplace you'll be taking your next family vacation. Prey will be out by the 11th of July, but I strongly suggest you give the demo a shot... NOW! It weighs in at around 449 MB and features five single player levels and two MP levels. The game's pretty scalable so if you don't have insane horsepower, you'll still be able to get acceptable frame rates. Prey2.jpg
