Prototype Review
The Short Version: No other game in recent memory makes you feel as powerful as Prototype does. Alex Mercer is the perfect killing machine. You’re sure to have alot of fun with this one despite its few drawbacks.
The Review: Prototype puts you in control of Alex Mercer – who has woken up in a laboratory, and now has mysterious dark superpowers. As Alex Searches the city for the people responsible for changing him into a monster, a very deadly virus is spreading in the streets. The Virus turns anyone it comes into contact with into zombie-like super creatures. All of this makes for an interesting storyline placed in an open-world game. But does this title deliver an experience as fun as the best sandbox titles that came before? Let’s find out in Joe’s Video Review:
• Excellent Combat System thats gruesomely violent.
• Consuming people to steal their Identities and Memories is beyond cool.
• The massive amount of unlockable moves and abilities upgrading Alex.
• Storyline was laid out in an interesting way.
• Come on this guy has to be modeled after Angry Joe: Dark, Bad Ass Leather Jack with White Stripes, Anti-hero. I read ya Radical, thanks for the homage! *wink*
What you’ll Hate:
• No Multiplayer at all.
• Towards the game the difficulty can become frustrating.
• The City could use more Life – and (excluding a few) side missions were a bore.
Final Verdict:
8/10
Buy It.
Excellent (8s are excellent games that are well worth your time and cash. While the game may have a few drawbacks, they aren’t anything that would hold you back recommending this one to friends.)

I say the guys of superbot should defenitly put alex mercer in playstations all starz battleroyale i have the and its aweasome (prototype) and also have playstation B R and wish to use this guy in battle. what do you think?
spiderman web of shadows looks like prototype to me besides the incredible hulk,both starts in the same way right into the action and they have some other stuff in common.Sorry if i have some grammer issues,i don’t speak english to well.
Prototype 2 is slightly better in my oppinion,due to the bat-like radar system which eases stealth kills unlocking the story easier,they made combat a tad to easy for my tastes through the new tentacle power->tangle your mutant and cut both his hands out (the sad part is that it only works on the infected mutant as a 2 hit fatality and you need a 3rd atack for the killing blow).
There is also the bio bomb power which allows stealth kills(yeah at plural,it nets at least 3 kills if used right,my maximum was 7 on a group of researchers) without consuming targets,this also creats a nice distraction for unleashing caged mutants on black watch suckers.
And the best part is Mercer is the enemy,the new hero is an upgraded Mercer,an even more brutal bad ass hero named Heller who wants Mercer’s head on a silver spike.The combat is just as brutal,but with less options due to the removal of muscle and armor powers(those were the least usefull for my playthrough in the 1st prototype).
Overall it’s a small upgrade to the original in terms of gameplay but the story line is better.You get to play powerless at the begining before you become infected(this section is quite short it could have been extended for some Max Payne 2 like action,then again,no greneades here).I would also like to point out that in this game you have fatalities for tanks and helicopters+the ability to control your own pack of mutants.Go give ‘em hell(available on xbox and pc to my knowledge)
Soo… basically he wanted infamous?
pototype is a good game but it bad bits in and i like Alex Mercer more better then James heller James has problems and prototype 2 is more better then prototype 1 but prototype 2 has problems like every game it has problems.
but it is fun killing people sames as the 2nd, the rating of the game is 7/10 the 2nd rating is 7/10. thums up right?
it’s more like a reverse dump
Okay this game is a real oddball. I remember when it first came out that it was alright maybe a 6 or 7 at best for someone that just wanted to cause havoc when they were bored and that’s it. Because between the dull story and those f**kin tank mutant things that wouldn’t leave you alone like they had a vendetta with your balls left many people, myself included, not liking this game all that much. They either traded it back or just let it rot after the first maybe the second play through. Now all of a sudden they manage to move a sequel out the door and both have spectacular reviews? It’s kinda fun I guess but I’d only buy it now that its like 20 bucks.
Correct me if im wrong
and how come you havent done one assasins creed 1 2 brotherhoood or revelations review
Yo Joe [protototype 2] is out would be nice if you let us know when your doing that review
You can actually just destroy everything
A sandbox game where you can body slam a tank… A TANK!!!!
And you can turn people into bombs not to mention that you can summon a pack of loyal mutants,which again you can turn into bombs if they are bellow your expectations.Did I mention you can give fatalities to mutants,tanks and helicopters?Did I?Did I?Smash ‘em at your own pace I won’t rush you,still is there a link around here where I can make game recomandations,there is a new upcoming RPG in the beta’s(relased around 13 september this year)which needs creative critique.
sry for the double post,there is no edit button,I just wanted to add that the RPG is f*cking online
