GS: Prototype (360 Review) - 8.5 / 10

Hello Cow here.

I have both Infamous(sold it to a friend) and Prototype(most fun I have had this year gaming) and in my opinion Prototype is just more fun all around. I will not say Prototype is a better game(even if I feel that way)it is just an over the top joyfully chaotic experience. I think the cows are just fine we get to play both great games. inFAMOUS has a wonderfully rich story and characters with great voice acting two things missing from Prototype.

GTA SUCKED. Seriously one of the worst games I've bought this gen...And I bought Sonic. I don't care what GS rated it, the game blew imo and A LOT of other peoples opinion as well.

Also As the Generation moves on games are held to a higher standard. re-review GTA now and I'd bet that 10 wouldn't be there, I highly suspect it wsa just a GTA fanboy that reviewed it. it's easily the worst of the series.

You don't care what Gamespot rated it?

How about tha majority?

98 average. I guess they're all a bunch of "GTA fanboys", too. :roll:

I never understood the love of GTAIV I found it to be really boring. Honestly I only really liked GTA San Andreas and even that I lost interest before the end. I am happy to see these high action superhero sandbox games showing up. Anything is a sandbox game that is not super human is just super boring to me.

Not your cup of tea. That's all good. Not everything is for everyone. It doesn't make it any lesser of what it is, though.

This game is exactly what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know why the review hasn't been put out for the PS3 or PC?

looks like rubbish to me..daveg1

"looks..."

A very important key word in that "sentence".

This is a great game indeed, i was hoping it was it would get an AAA. Lemmings would probably passed on the game since it have no online mode. The summers have started out great for us gamers - infamous, uncharted 2 beta, punch-out, little kings' story and now prototype.therealnerdd

Nice generalization you have there.

I don't know about this game. It looks like GameSpot actually might have overrated it. IGN and TeamXBox gave it much lower scores. Usually a 7.5 game on IGN = less than 7 on GameSpot.

Nope, Gamespot didn't overrate it. They're about right there with the majority thus far.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/prototype?q=prototype

84 average. And that's even with the incorrect 1UP score, which is a B-, so it'd be a bit higher if that gets corrected.

i dont see what is so great about either game. they both seem very tedius. Infamous is more polished but both are pretty tedius games.

Yeah, you're right. I'm being negative toward the game based on some of the stuff I've read. I like to explore open world games, and this didn't sit well with me...from IGN...

"You can't do something as simple as run through the city while leaping off of buildings without alerting the Strike Teams, at which point you're forced into some shape shifting or combat. This can make the basic act of exploration more work than it should be. There is very little downtime to counteract the high stress of the missions."

Haha, I run and leap off buildings without alerting anyone 95% of the time. I'm sure another person playing Prototype can back this up. I took a tank into the infected section and used up all the ammo without alerting them once. There was even a military tank blowing up **** with me. :lol:

True, you can stealth your way through most of the game.

Fact: people who find this game boring lack imagination. The amount of variety is astonishing.

Yup, if you get caught, run away (you're faster than anything in the game), and switch your identity/appearance with the last person you consumed. :)

Not only it scored great I think it will sell pretty good too.

Also in the news: Infamous still better, less genericcutmaclass1

This game makes a very good first impression but after playing it for awhile it gets boring.aznfool07

been playing this game for 6hrs, honestly I give it a 6.5/10 my issues with the game. - all missions feel the same, no matter the mission, you end up in an identical place, figthing the same enemies. just dont know how to explain it. - the city is 'fake, in the sense that, it looks and feels unreal, pedestrians are meh and glitchy, there are no curved roads. buildings are identical, no matter where you go, you dont get that 'change of scenery' - graphics are not impressive. -story so far seems meh, also, too many flash backs. -combat, gameplay and whatnot isnt all that fun, animations too are meh. -he has lots of moves, which is cool, but the controls are not 'friendly' - inconsistent difficulty. anyway, thats my opinion. I'm sure people feel different. once I finish the game, I dont think I'll play it again.MightyMuna

Sounds like most of my complaints toward inFAMOUS. The animation complaint I don't get, though. Alex moves a lot more fluid than Cole and his animations are superior. Gamespot reviewer pointed that out, too.

And there is change of scenery between the zones which are infected and aren't.

IMO it seems if you just want a city to rough up and jump around in then prototype is fine. Infamous city seems to have more of a personality and the citizens are more lively and I actually feel for the NPC's. Infamous so far is feeling more deep then proto,but that doesint make proto a bad game at all. Also im not liking the story/characters as much as infamous.

Poor 360. Another AAA this year it does not get :(IronBass

:lol:

Ah, but just you wait for Halo ODST, ya closet cow :P

Poor 360. Another AAA this year it does not get :(IronBass

Spamming the same off-topic thing? This thread has nothing to do with inFAMOUS and your post has nothing to do with Prototype. If you had mentioned both, then fine. Therefore it's an off-topic post meant to stir up people.

GTA IV > Both.

cainetao11

Neither is Prototype.

Nope, no it isn't. Your post didn't address Prototype in comparison at all. And you're talking about a AAA game 360 does not get. It's a bait post to bait lems. No mention of Prototype whatsoever. Off-topic.BioShockOwnz

Ah, true :P You'd better get back on topic now by discussing the AA Prototype and AAA Infamous :)Floppy_Jim

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]GTA IV > Both.BioShockOwnz

Nope. All sandbox. A score is a score of quality, not gameplay styles, so it's fair to compare the genre and its quality, at least that's what some of the fella's told me in the Sess thread. ;) So yeah, 10 > 9.0 > 8.5. GTA IV wins. Harharhar, I can do that, too. So bad. GTA IV is still the sandbox king.

GTA IV is terrible, what are you talking about?

doesn't matter what score prototype or any other MS exclusive gets. It will always sell (well, almost) and thats why i think lemmings should step up and demand better quality games. I don't know what's up with the american market, but it seems the games sell as long as they are on xbox. Call it loyalty, or sheep-ness lol, but they should do some research before buying stuff, like they do with other products.

Yes lemmings have been comparing it to infamous since before release, heck Bishock I think you even made a thread about the two of themAnimal-Mother

And the post didn't address both games. It's clearly evident in its delivery that it's a bait post.

No shame in being sad, I think plenty of non-PS3 owners would be a tad envious- the AAAE Infamous, AA Prototype and the AA Red Faction 3 all within a few weeks? Those guys are so lucky :o

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="IronBass"] If you read the last 5 pages of the thread, the discussion about inFamous is present. So yes, this thread is related to inFamous, just like Prototype is. Both games are related. :)BioShockOwnz

And the post didn't address both games. It's clearly evident in its delivery that it's a bait post.

Indeed. Poor lems and cows. I get inFAMOUS, Prototype, RFG, Crackdown, Crackdown 2, GTA IV, GTA IV L&D, GTA: TBoGT, and SR2.
