This game is a must for anybody who enjoys FPS. The graphics are amazing, and the physics are unparalleled and the game is 2 years old! I would recommend it to anybody!

Prey

Works on the latest MacBook GMA X3100

Written by BC from Elk Grove

Jul 20, 2008

That's right, it's not a trick! A X3100 powered MacBook (with a decent amount of memory 2GB or more should do) did run the demo off MacGameFiles and prompted me to purchase the full game. The MacBook won't run it the fastest of the Apple hardware line, but just fast enough to be acceptable to me. Overall, it's quite impressive to see a graphics part that is regarded as "useless", be able to properly render a game like Prey. Things do get a bit hairy in fast action sequences, but catches up rather well.

If in doubt, give the demo a shot.

I played this game on a 1.25ghz eMac mirrored on to my tv and it ran great

Written by JS

The requirements to run this game is much lower than suggested, I was able to play it on my 1.25ghz eMac, not modified, just fine at a low and medium guality settings, but of course sluggish when I set it to higher qualities. I was even able to mirror it to my T.V. too; however, when I did, it would show up in black and white on my T.V. but still ran just fine. Funny thing though It did the same thing with Halo, but only when in full screen mode and on it's highest settings. Never the less this game was worth the buy.

CRASH/CRASH

I don't know what is up with this. I love it and think it is the coolest game I have yet to play until it crashes. I have a Mac Pro with dual intel 3 gigahertz processors and 2 gigs of ram, so requirements should not be the problem. I did buy and install right after leopard and I am thinking aspyr needs another update or something. Is anyone else having this problem in Leopard?

Great game, new spin on things

Written by JM from Novi

Definitely an interesting spin when you look at other FPS games that are so cookie cutter in style.

The best part was that I tried out the Quake 4 demo and figured if it worked, the Prey demo should work. Contrary to the warning on the download site that is linked off of Aspyr's site, the game runs fine with the MacBook Intel GMA 950 video cards.

I have a 2 GHz MacBook C2D with 1GB RAM/80GB HD/SuperDrive and it ran fine on Medium settings. I figured High would cause a bit too much lag for my liking just like Quake 4 did. The graphics still look great on Medium and the game runs quite smooth so it's not a big deal. The demo made me want to purchase this game.

Does not work with 24" iMac

This game ran great on the 20" iMac, but when I switched to the 24" iMac it quit running. After calling support they said the video card in my iMac wasn't supported...

Great graphics, but limited story.

Written by RK from Highlands Ranch

Sep 21, 2007

This game has some of the best graphics to date for first-person shooters. The gravity changes are quite surprising (in a good way), though they can make you queasy if you sit too close to the monitor -- and I think this is impressive. My only complaint is that the story is weak. This immature doofus of a hero is only interested in "finding Jen" (which he says over and over again) until, at a critical moment in the game (which I won't spoil), he decides he's ready to be a leader now. Yawn! Maybe they'll be more original in a sequel...

Wow. I mean... wow!

Written by BM from Encinitas

One up on Doom III for sure. If you've been waiting for a good FPS game since the Ultimate Doom and Duke 3D days, then this is it. Take the humor from 3D Realms, the horrifying graphics from ID, a great story, and then add a revolutionary style of game play and you have Prey. Believe it or not, I'm actually able to play Prey on my MacBook (2GHz Core Duo, 512MB, Intel GMA950)!!! Bad frame rate... but, still! Not to worry, I also have a Mac Pro to play it on.

Great game!!!

Written by AT from Los Angeles

Feb 28, 2007

If you like action, then you will love this game! Gorgeous graphics, fast paced shooting and even some great puzzles to have you thinking when you're not busy killing things! The coolest thing about Prey has to be all gravity flipping parts... shooting aliens while you are upside down or looking sideways or upwards trying to find that one attacker... good stuff here! Aspyr has done a great job optimizing this game so that it can run on as many Macs as possible (runs great on a Dual 1.8 G5... yup, still on a G5). So buy it... right now! Support mac gaming.

Prey

Great game.

Written by MD from tustin

Great game that allows the player to continue from the last spot where the character "died". It also adapts for gamers who no longer have the youth and skill that many new games require. Excellent story and imaginative graphics.
