KOEI, recognized worldwide as the premier brand of strategy and action games, today announced that Prey the Stars is coming to North America in October 2008 exclusively for Nintendo DS.
Prey the Stars serves up an incredible world where nearly anything from food items to entire buildings can be devoured. Players must bite, lick, and suck their way to victory as one of the game's four insatiable and customizable creatures: GABU, BARI, CHUCHU, and PERO. The more these characters eat, the bigger and more voracious their stomachs will become. It's an engaging and addictive game for anyone with a taste for fun!
RealGamer writes: "Prey the Stars: Gabu Gabu Planet is a bit of a mouthful, which is convenient as the gameplay centres around filling your monsters yapper with food or anything that happens to be lying around!
In the game you select a monster and find yourself on a level filled with food and/or objects and three other monsters, and to win you have to eat as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Each item you consume increases your score; the monster with the highest score after all the objects have been."
WorthPlaying writes: "There is a whole genre of gaming that can best be described as "obscure and random Japanese stuff." From this pile of weirdness and bright colors, we are beset by games uniquely Eastern in their presentation and gameplay, utterly alien to American gamers used to muted grey and brown palettes and guns and gore galore. Once in a while, a real gem pops up from this rather hodgepodge collection of titles, and we get crossover hits like Katamari Damacy. Prey the Stars was hoping to find similar success, but ultimately, it ends up being a weird game that has a decent multiplayer component."
DreamStation writes: "My 5-year old son told my wife over the weekend that he would give Prey The Stars a 100% if he was reviewing it. I am not surprised by that score from him, since he has been playing it a lot since we got it a month or two ago. He really enjoys the creatures in the game, unlocking the new levels, and collecting the new costumes (skins) for each of the four different characters you can choose. The game has a nice pick up and play style of gameplay, but also can keep him entertained for multiple hours. We even had to tell him to turn it off a few times over the weekend, since he was playing it non-stop."
