Prototype (PS3)

STILL AS GOOD AS I REMEMBER , GRAPHICS AGED A BIT BUT GREAT TO PLAY AGAIN , ARRIVED BEFORE DUE DATE , GAME AS DESCRIBED BY SELLER , SELLER MUSIC MAGPIE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .

Excellent game if you enjoy hijacking helicopters, climbing skyscrapers, destroying/riding tanks, etc. In this game you get to act like HULK (by destroying and throwing cars etc), Wolverine (by using your claws and slashing away), Spiderman (by using the whip to jump on helicopters and hijack them, and also by being able to jump and crawl on buildings), consume anyone to boost health and also able to transform disguises. I really loved this game as it gives you your money's worth. Gives you side missions which you can do in between missions to gain EP so that you can upgrade (for example upgrading attacks, health, disguise etc. You can also roam freely in between missions destroying infected buildings "Hives" or destroy military bases (you get EP for doing so). You choose which side you want to be on, either fight against the infected, or against the military, etc. Would recommend this game if you enjoyed playing X-men Wolverine, Hulk, Spiderman, etc

The beginning of this game is quite innocent. The opening gameplay sequence is a little bit overwhelming but if you take the time to learn the controls you'll find that the game is very careful in terms of how it teaches you how to play later on. After this between missions you're given the the open world to roam around in however you please, to do whatever you want, whether this be consuming people or throwing their cars at choppers. The main annoying part of this game is the overwhelming amount of enemies the game throws at you, almost as if the only way Activision knows how to increase the game difficulty is by adding more people and giving them rocket launchers. If the testing reveals that one particular level is too easy, just give someone a rocket launcher, if he still passes the level, give everyone rocket launchers. Because it's pretty much done by the same people, it's very similar to Spiderman 2 on the PS2; you're given the freedom to roam around in Manhattan which looks very much the same, you can run up walls and jump off with a selection of optional upgrades, and you're given hints which give points throughout the city. And I couldn't help but notice my problem was the same with Spiderman 2 as-well, the way the difficulty is only determined with how many people have rocket launchers and how quickly they spawn out of nowhere. My other problem with this is, and this might only be because it took about 75% of the game to figure out where the Subtitles button is, is that I can't stand how every character in the game besides Elizabeth Greene mutters throughout their dialogue. I don't know why it's such a big thing in modern media, but everyone mutters and it makes things seem so unbearable. I only just figured out what was going on by catching onto certain key words and the way Alex briefs himself at the start of every mission, as-well reading the objectives on the pause menu. But other than knowing you're going to die as soon as somebody calls for a strike team, having a rocket shoved up your arse every-time you stand still with the impossible requirement to discretely disguise and unbearably put up with characters muttering constantly, the storyline is very interesting and it has lots of interesting twists. The progression of the viral infection throughout Manhattan and slowly decreasing numbers of cities that are kept 'safe' by martial law makes the plot very interesting, with the reminders of how the aftermath came to be at the of every 'episode'. The gameplay can be fun when out of mission when you're in the mood where you just want to kill people and challenge the military, but only in the first half of the game. Mess with the military anywhere in the second half of the game, and like I said, you can't even stand still without having thousands of rockets inserted into your anus. That, of-course makes the gameplay less fun and raises the likelihood of having an anxiety attack when you're watching Alex Mercer being swept from left to right because of how quickly you're getting blown to pieces by missiles; you know, the ones you can never get away from because there is constantly somebody calling for a strike team to make you forget what you're doing and fight choppers forever (and don't think about disguising, they're everywhere man!)

Prototype follows 18 days in the life of Alex Mercer who, after waking up in a morgue with no memories, has suddenly gained the ability to alter himself on the genetic level. Wanted by the military, he is on a mission to find out why this has happened to him and to discover the mysterious circumstances behind a virus that has been released into the city. First i must say that i did like this game a lot it has a good storyline, decent enough graphics and fun gameplay. However there were a few thing that did bother me about it. I think the biggest problem with this game is that it does get very repetitive at least at the beginning anyway. You go find a guy, consume him and take his memories. Another thing that annoyed me was the fact that everyone hates you in the game so unless you are in disguise, which means you are limited to just walking around do anything else and you will be detected, you are constantly under attack which does get a bit boring after a while. Despite these things the game is very good, freeroaming around the city is great particularly if you are in an infected zone. It is great fun running through a group of infected people with Alex's armour equipped and watching them getting flung as he pushes them out of the way. Also your selection of weapons and equipment makes combat varied and interesting. One thing i must point out is that, although this is obviously no fault of the game, i bought this game after playing through infamous which, in my opinion, is just better. Because of this i probably didn't enjoy this as much as i would have if i had played this one first. Therefore i would advise that if you were torn between getting either this or infamous i would get this one first.

Okay so anyways, I got alot of hate mail after my first review, so I'm making this one more fair. This game is in no way comparrable to inFAMOUS. It just isn't. Graphic wise, storyline wise, and even gameplay wise. I feel like I'm playing an unfinished game. It seems like this game was rushed to it's release, when it really could have used a few months of polishing up. I have no idea who wrote the story, but it is lame, and way too predictible. The twists in the game are expected, and they aren't that big. The gameplay, gets real old, real fast. Sure you can kill a man in several different ways. What is so special about that? Doing the same thing over and over and over again just gets boring. And not just with Prototype, but in a way, inFAMOUS. While Prototype is a good game, it gets old, and boring, before you even beat the game. Then after you beat it, there is no point in playing it over again. I also found the difficulty of the game to be not at all challenging. If you rush through the game like I did, you could probably be it in about 9 or 10 hours. If you don't, maybe about 15 or 16 hours. Personally, I really wanted to enjoy the game, but I just couldn't. There are too many things are wrong with the game that could have been fixed if Activision would have waited a few more months before releasing it. I also think they could have put more effort into creating a better story. If they would have done that then this would be a great game. But they didn't, and in my opinion, the game kinda sucks. If you own a PS3, by all means get inFAMOUS instead of this. But if you still want this game, rent it first,its like playing a spiderman game without his web.

I thought it will be brilliant but the graphics look slightly like on a PS2 and the gameplay isn't much better.

Since receiving this game, my son has played on nothing else. Lots of nasty blood and gore, which teenagers appear to love. May be an idea to restrict time spent playing the game and encourage kids to get out in the fresh air of the real world once in a while :)

One of the best games ever created, received on time.
