It feels like an old 90s first person shooter. Come on King why did you buy it look at how much space it takes and then according to that buy it. The more MB the better and more graphical the game is King Says:

It's frustrating at first, but, to my amazement, works OK when you're used to it. It finally clicked for me with 7 Days and Dark Hill. (It's still not ideal, and if/when I release a shooter I have plans other than D-pads.) I haven't tried this game yet, but I plan to--speaking as a Prey fan, a shooter fan, and someone who just spent twice this on a salad which I dropped in the elevator :o And re MB size... I'm amazed how small some games are. 3D games are often more efficient than 2D (fewer bitmaps needed I suppose: able to show every view/action of a character with only one texture on a mesh).

Whereas prey is a 3d application which takes up more space. Size is a way to judge game. Look at real racing and x2 football and need for speed for that matter. Games which has a large size tends to be more graphical. Johnny Says:

I got really disappointed when they announced PsP Go and only had one analogue stick, need two to play FPS and TPS. Using the XO... buttons to simulate right analogue stick doesn't cut it.

This dual analog doesn't make a lick of sense on such a small screen. Hell even the PSP forego the option for reasons.
