I haven't played prototype so I said infamous. It's got a solid story and power progression system missions are varied enough to warrant multiple playthroughs (im on my thrid). Definitley long if you give it time (but what game isn't nowadays) But i hear prototype is good not as polished but extrtemely visceral, has got a somewhat engaging story and looks good.( basing it off what i've seen) But either way you cant go wrong.

I found more value in inFamous.

Even with the glitches, I still think it's superior to Prototype.

Even the story, which isn't exactly good, is better.

Even though Infamous has better missions, more detailed graphics and a better story Prototype is MORE FUN. Infamous is IMO a linear game set in an open world. It is only fun to "screw around" for a few minutes then there is nothing to really do. When I play Infamous I go straight from one mission to the next, but I get side tracked goofing around alot in Prototype. That being said, even though there isn't a different way to replay it (Prototype) like Infamous (with the good/evil bits) Prototype has more relplay value. But lets take a step back, really they couldn't be more different aside from being sandbox games with a superpower lead. The question you really need to ask yourself is do you feel like playing a third person shooter (Infamous) or a beat em' up (Prototype)?

Id have to say prototype because it kinda reminds me of the old spiderman game on PS1 that I loved a lot. (the one where it was fully open world and you were exploring NYC.)

Eh, alot of the decisions don't make a huge impact on the story. Not matter what you choose, most of the time the result doesn't change much.

If you want a slightly more serious and slower paced game, go with inFamous.

If you want to feel like the most powerful thing to ever exist and look damn cool while doing it (it still is a challenging game) hit up Prototype.

I didn't like Prototype at all (felt like Spiderman in a new skin), and I haven't tried InFamous. Since I know I don't like Prototype the vote goes to InFamous.

Both are neat, Fun games.

Did you ever Play HULK Ultimate Destruction, or the most recent HULK Games? That's how Prototype plays, fun rampaging, and even Hulks famous Elbow drops into tanks...it's in PROTOTYPE. Hulks Superjumping? Prototype.

Prototype is like the Rated "R" or "M" version of HULK. You are one bad MOFO.

InFAMOUS on the other hand is SUPER Polished, very clean fun, with an emphasis on being Evil or Good. It's Lightening only premise actually stands out as very fun (Which I didn't expect.)

InFAMOUS is the higher rated game, but you win with either choice. I would give the edge to InFAMOUS, as did the CRITICS, and Gamespot, and rightfully so.

They're both really good games. I don't find much difference to them other than that in InFamous, you can choose wether your going to be Evil or Good. Pretty nice feature. Prototype has more powers than InFamous, and I find Prototype a little more gory.

I didnt really care for Infamous, I rented it and had some hrs of fun, but I didnt get to finish it before I had to take it back and honestly dont care if I ever do. So I guess thats makes it a mediocre game for me. I havent tried prototype but I love hulks UD so I will rent it as well. I dont understand this "war" for graphics and the best games here in SW. A true gamer plays all good games no matter what system, if he can afford to, and if he cant wishes he could play them.

inFAMOUS because you could easily get 60 hours of gameplay through doing the evil and good campaign.

I'm playing prototype on my PC at high settings and it still don't look that good at all, but its fun to kill, kill, kill then move on the the next mission so is the power ups. InFamous is alright but it got boring for me after a while. I'm not sure if you wanna waste $60 on both. why not rent?

That's not fair. If you were a combination of flesh and electricity, you wouldn't want to get near water either.

SolidTy

I don't get why people are saying inFamous is polished. The animation for everyone except Cole and the bosses` is terrible and the game is glitchy with lots of popin and framerate dips. Is that what passes as polished? I agree that the electricity powers are very focused giving a better sense of cohesion, but I think calling it polished is pushing it a bit.

Ratchet and Clank is polished, Uncharted is polished, Killzone is polished. infamous is not as good technically as any of those games. Not even in the same ballpark. It is however, very good in it's own right..

Well TC based off of the feedback you've recieved here and review scores it looks like Infamous would be the better choice....I've yet to play either and I'll continue to look into getting Infamous before Prototype as well.

It's polished in the gameplay dept. The little things, like skating on rails are incredibly easy and fun to do, not a choir. I don't know about others, but in comparison to Prototype, InFamous is more polished as well. Even in comparing their animations, and the story seems more thought out.

Prototype is good as is, but not as polished as Infamous in direct comparison.

Haven't played either but the premise for Infamous is more enjoyable for me, not a fan of the type of powers Proto guy has.
