GameSpot: Cut to gameplay. Initially Prey looks like any other sci-fi-themed first-person shooter, though we noticed the crazy-looking biomechanical rifle right away. Turns out pretty much all the weapons in Prey have this sort of look and feel, kind of like the bizarre bone-gun in the cult movie Existenz. One of the "guns" was particularly amusing--a creepy, glowing spiderlike bug that twitched nervously, and whose limbs could be ripped off and used as explosives.

PC.IGN: The demo was really just full of moments that made me say "wow" like Tommy jumping into a small flying vehicle only to dogfight and the race towards what looked like a small moon only to realize that there were enemies running on the surface. When the craft landed and Tommy jumped out and started firing glass canisters of gook at them, it got even better. Or the weapons like the grenade creature with a leg for a pin or the grenade launcher version with that same creature wriggling around inside a glass ball that's fired at high speed.
