I saw a review that praised the game,but I have doubts that it's a lousy button-smashing port.Any opinions would be appreciated:D

It is fun to just mess around, although you feel to powerful and nothing is much of a challenge. If you are gonna get it, which i suggest saving your money for all the games coming out this fall, get it on a console, not the PC. I think it would be really hard to play it on the PC.

Cheers!

No, wait a while. TONS of people are having problems with the cinemas being super slow and the sound being choppy. They still haven't fixed it.

I had fun. What you use to play might change the experience a bit, I didn't really like playing with keyboard and mouse.

its good definitely worth getting, my only criticisms are there are a lot of controls and combos to remember and id have preferred a quick save option because sometimes the levels drag on a bit

Yes, it's an excellent game. It plays good with M/KB. I'm playing it on Windows 7 RC 1 64 bit with no problems.

It's good fun with easy controls, but not really worth $50 or whatever it is at the moment. I'd definately try it, but wait for the price to drop.

For someone who has only played 1 hour of Prototype, you certainly know lots about it... It's a great game, graphics are not that impressive, but gore = fun, but combos might be hard to remember, you'll end up only knowing a few of them..

It's a great game....at first. Initially the sense of freedom is excellent, you can run up anything, glide off skyscrapers, hurl taxis at helicopters, slash people in half, all done with liberal splashings of blood and gore. After a while though you begin to get fed up with the sometimes awkward camera and the difficulties it has when you need some fine control of your character. I'm quite a way through it and I've had to take a break as it was getting to be a grind. There is also no multiplayer so the replay value may be limited.

Having beaten the game on the PS3.. As well as played the game on the PC as well.. (rented the ps3 version, borrowed the pc version from a friend).. I would wait for a price drop, its a interesting game I just don't think I would spend $50 on it.

basically the same engine as that of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. if you've played SM:WoS, you've seen everything "cool"in Prototype (building climbing, super jump, transforming, throwing massive objects and etc.). graphic is also as poor based on PC game standard. (now if they don't really do anything special to game-play, at very least upgrade the graphic).

My impression of it is this: It's the perfect Steam Weekend Deal game. While it wasn't incredibly deep, it seemed to be a lot of plain old FUN, the kind of game you'd get during a price drop and beat over the weekend, then go back to something better/longer lasting.

I got it for the PC, but I'm running Vista-64.

It ran wonderfully, the only problem being low volume, but that problem actually disappeared later on.

No crashes, framerate stays solid no matter how much activity is on the streets. Even full-blown combat doesn't slow it down.

People with XP are experiencing a lot of problems with the game, however.

As long as you set your graphics card to "application-controlled" for all settings, you won't experience any problems other than sound being low, which is fixed by turning up your volume before you boot the game.

Dont go into this game expecting much of a story, it'll ruin your fun. I tried, story barely holds, ending sucked. If you're going for a gore-filled slaughterhouse of fun, have at 'er. It's a good game, and can be quite challengining on harder difficulties.

I'm running it on windows 7, runs perfectly fine, never had an error, any slowdown nor any problem with movies or sound.

A very good game after a hard day at work (or school).
Though gets a bit boring after you finish it. But still, it's a very fun game to let your steam out. :D

Buy it only if you have an xbox360 controller to plug in to your PC. It's an old school 3rd person beat'em up game, which is great if you like that kind of games.
