Prey (Xbox 360) Completed on Cherokee


I recently went through Prey (Xbox 360) on it's Cherokee (Hard) difficulty, and thoroughly enjoyed the simple, short lived experience.

The differences between Normal and Cherokee Difficulties are not many. Aside from the fact that enemies hit harder and you're less durable (meaning you'll spend more time in Death Walk), the only major difference is that there's no healing stations throughout the levels, you're only source of healing will come from Death Walking.

The game still wasn't hard, and I'm not sure what's shorter, it or Gears of War, but Prey is a shit load of fun. The story and presentation of that story is very cinematic, really allowing the player to feel like they're starring in a B sci-fi flick (I still feel bad for Tommy towards the end). The enemies are enjoyable, the weapons generic yet interesting enough, and of course the messed up gravity and portals steal the show.

Prey is a title that I am looking forward to a sequel of, just not at full retail price.
