Fun:
This game is beautiful to look at. After a quick and easy installation I was really impressed by the look of the world. Although I admit I hadn't played many games in the past few years, but the level designs and environment really creates a fantastic experience.
Although essentially a first person shooter, it has an involving story and isn't too difficult, so anyone could enjoy this game and have a challenge but due to the nature of your characters ability to recover in spirit form, most players will not take too long to progress to the next level.
The variety of weapons available are not that many, but they all have practical use. But of course being in an alien environment they look strange and are great fun to handle.
Although Prey on the PC is not a very difficult game to play through, I think its game world is really fun to get involved in, especially given that so many first person shooters use scenarios that we are more familiar with (world wars for example). So anyone who wants a fun experience with beautiful visuals should find Prey good fun.

Fun:
I enjoyed this game thoroughly.
The levels were not repetitive, the alien monsters were interesting, and the variety of weapons was sufficiently creative that they weren't just alien-themed variants of generic FPS weapons.
My only quibble was the ham-acting on the part of the protagonist and his family, but that isn't too much of an issue.
The game is beautiful, and runs really well on my computer, which is on the low end of middle-range. As of one of the official patches, it even runs without the DVD, so once you install it you can pack the DVD away and not let it get scuffed and so on with use.
The story is fairly compelling, the game physics is wonderfully well done (including some wonderful physics which would later be employed triumphantly in Portal), especially the variable gravity system, and the spirit-walking mechanic makes the puzzle element to the game very interesting indeed (as well as adding a stealth element to the game).
Well worth getting.

Fun:
This was the first game to utilise the idea of portals to "other places not necessarily in the same area, plane of perspective, or even on the same scale". I've been gaming since the bbc micro and I've seen my fair share of so called "gaming innovations" but this one truly had it as it came out years before portal, and gave me one of only a very few "no way, just.... no way *scratches head*" moments I've had in my gaming history in the events surrounding what looks like a moon in a box.... (portal players won't be blown away, but anyone else should be nicely confused).
This game also makes great use of the fact that there are more than two dimensions, so finding yourself fighting bad guys on the ceiling..or am I on the ceiling and they are on the floor .... or is it this wall..or...*I give up*..
This game messes with your head a bit and more, you also get shuttles to fly, gravity wells to muck about with and all manner of other very nice game enhancing goodies.
To summarise; if you've played portal it's like that but with guns n stuff, if not; still buy it, it's fun, looks great, endboss isn't about having the biggest gun (think strategy) and has a nice second element to it in the spirit world.
Do your face a favor, buy this game and give it a smile.
