Let me start off by saying that Prototype is a VERY underrated game . I love it . I've platinumed inFamous and I'm close to platinum'ing Prototype too ( completed all the Platinum events which is quite a difficult task , especially the movement events ... God )

IMO , the most serious flaw of Prototype is it's city design . It's really bad . When I look at the overhead map , it literally hurts my eye cuz everything looks the same . It's just rectangles and occasional squares clumped together ... WTF ?

And I've collected 50/50 hints but 199/200 landmark collectables . The last one is such a ****ing chore to find even when I refer to online collectable guides . I have absolutely no clue which one I missed and where ... and the horrible stale city spoils my motive to go and search for the last one .

Anyways , apart from the major chore of finding all the landmark collectables , everything else about the game is really great . It's A LOT OF FUN ... and that's what matters the most .

PS : If anyone has any possible advice to help me find the last one ( which does not involve hunting all 200 locations again :cry: ) , do lemme know . :)

Your comments about the game only reminded me of how its not worth my time or money to play it. Thanks. Using "chore" as a description for any game is an instant indication that the game is not for me.

Hunt all 200 locations again...there's no trick of glitch to magically make it appear

Prototype is quite possibly the worst game I have played this generation, with maybe the exception of Mercs 2. At least I could finish Mercs 2...I had to really push myself to finish this game...I couldn't imagine spending any more time on it to find collectables.

But hey, to each his own.

I agree, its a great game that is underrated!

I never bothered even trying to get gold for all events, they were so frustrating I didn't bother :P

I found 49/50 hint collectibles, and had to give up, I swear it just wasn't on the map, I searched all over and even used a map showing their locations :(

I LOVED Prototype! A very underrated game imo, but to each his own. I guess a good tip would be to use a chopper to go over the locations again, but be sure to fly low so you don't miss them (flying too high or too far away from them might not load them right). I remember I had to go over all the locations 3 times!...but Prototype is one of my most cherished platinums :) good luck!

I liked the game alot. I honestly think it was better than infamous. Only thing Infamous had better was graphics, and thats not sayin much for infamous (especially being a exclusive) and coles targeting system was better. Prototype was way more enjoyable, as well as being deeper and have tons more replayability.

I didnt get all the collectibles. I didnt even complete the web of intrigue. Can you if ppl in it have died? Im not a completionist though. I have way more fun just runnin round the city wreakin havoc. Skyjacking helicopters is one of the coolest things ever!

I just recently finished the game and found it quite enjoyable. Loved riding around in tanks destroying everything :) I havent played infamous so I cant compare but i thought it was pretty good and challenging.

Ive found all the collectibles and hints but I used a map from the start and crossed out wheneva I came across one. If you have no idea at all where it is, sorry but it sounds like ull have to do it again because the city is HUGE.

@newhighscore - if WOI targets die, they will respawn so you cant miss any.
