I am embarrassed to say that I have ever trusted the game ratings of IGN. This review is just a joke. It makes me want to vomit seeing how much the "poor graphics" have affected this particular rating. Real gamers, and I mean REAL gamers shouldn't care about graphics. Holy hell, I still play Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis! That game doesn't even know what graphics are! I am so sick of "next gen graphics" and crap like that. I play games because they are G-A-M-E-S, not because they look pretty.
As if that weren't bad enough, having played this game and experienced much of what was described above, who the hell cares if you can't destroy a billboard or a single window? Never once have I heard the game developers say, "Yeah, we want players to be able to level any building, and bring down the tallest skyscraper!" Hell. No. This game isn't "Nuke New York: Destroy the WORLD!" It's Prototype; a Game that the developers did a very good job describing. With the complaints of this guy, I am sure he was also disappointed Alex wasn't able to shift his biomass to his lungs and drink all of the water in Central Park. Aw man! Alex can't do that? Well this game isn't worth getting.
Holy hell, please stop whining about useless "inadequacies" in this game. This is a breakthrough in the "sandbox" genre. Even the incredibly overrated GTA IV doesn't come close to this. For all of those reading, I recommend searching for a more fair review of Prototype. This is just authority running it's mouth. After this display of "work," I won't be coming back to IGN for any more reviews. That's for sure.
