I don't know, I've seen a lot of decent reviews for Prototype too. Hell, I haven't even played Prototype and I'm starting to side with it. This 349/350 blast shards **** on Infamous isn't funny anymore. :(

Also people use Assassin's Creed's repetition 4 this game say it has it's repetitive moments. People say AC sucks cuz of it, but that's another story. Was AC's repetition so bad that it made an example for other games? It's like it became a meme.

No. Red Faction brought down the roof on both of them, killing them instantly...

*but seriously... how would you think something like this would ever be decided? it ALL comes down to personal taste.*

Both repeated the same gameplay/missons/boss attacks. over and over again.. They aren't great at all in my opinion.

It's all subjective. They both have equally as many pros and cons, imo. Both worth it, though.

I strongly believe that people go into a store and say, "let me buy a game that I want to play" rather than, "I want to play this game so I won't buy it" or "I don't want to play this game, so i'll buy it." People talk with their wallets and Prototype got their vote. There is statistical data to prove this while their only personal opinions and subjective data to show otherwise.

Yes but Prototype as the significant advantage of being a multiplat game. I believe more PS3 owners bought Infamous over Prototype. Theres also a significant amount of second hand Prototypes out their over Infamous's

Prototype was multi-platform genius, infamous was Exclusive to the PS3, sales data = SQUAT. If Sales were meaningfull Britney Spears is one of the best musicians of the last 10 years,

inFamous did win. If you watch Zero Punctuation, both companies actually sent in a picture, and the picture of Alex Mercer is WAY better, so inFamous won.

Prototype sucked, in my opinion. InFamous was pretty good though, based on the demo.

Sum of the later post seem to have harsh criticism on Prototype's end. I don't know where this "It was not very good...like at all" stuff is coming from.

Infamous did better imo. Prototype only got a leg-up due to its being multiplat. PS3 to PS3 though, I'd say Infamous came out on top. It certainly came out on top with the critics. Most PS3 owners i know preferred Infamous. Sony did a great job promoting it.

People make it seem like InFamous was good (of course) and Prototype as just.....bad. Prototype is flawed in my eyes but not as bad as everyone make it out 2 be. Hell, people even question the release of a sequel 4 Prototype! Highly underrated game.

I've not experienced this. That said, I think Prototype got pretty crap promotion, especially compared to the luxury treatment Infamous got from Sony.

I found Prototype to be a lot more fun than inFamous but both are pretty much equal in their ups and downs.

prototype did get more sales, if you werent a person that read reviews, would you side with the game that looked and sounded like rappers getting electicuted, or the badass black, white and red cover of a gritty bloody man? its obvious when you think about it.

I really don't see what's the basis for being able to claim that either game 'beating' the other in a way that really matters to individuals as gamers.

1. Who cares which one is ultimately 'liked' more by critics, when critics aren't always going to line up with your personal tastes?

2. Who cares about sales numbers other than stock holders? Especially when, as far as I know, we don't have sales numbers.
