the 2nd prototype *spoilers*
ok so as the deck says, you don't play as alex mercer from the first game, you play as james heller. a war vet is that a good thing? in my opinion, yes yes it is..now i bought the radnet edition because i wanted the alex skin. so i could play as alex, but heller grew on me. i didn't like the fact that they made alex the bad guy though.
the map is MUCH larger then the first game, it's split into 3 zones, green,red,yellow here's how i break it down:
green: no infected at all, a survivor's refugee. 1% infected
yellow: some infected, but only on a certain edge of the city. 50% infected
red: EXTREMLY INFECTED! 95% infected (survivors on rooftops rarely)
you go in the order i have listed. the game is easy. and the upgrades make it even easier. the game took me 2 days to get though, and im at 95% completion, (everything but level up) when you beat it, you have the option to go though it again in new game +..but really what's the point of that?
now the missions are pretty simple, go here, find info, do this, then that, repeat. the blacknet missions are EXTREMLY repetive. once you get all powers, you really don't feel like doing the missions anymore..the last mission against alex felt too easy and it wasn't that exciting for a final mission.
the enemies from the first game (mainly the hunters) are back, with some new additions..but sadly once you beat the game, only the hunters remain and the new additions are gone.(not for story reasons,but gameplay) the new additions are as follow:
juggernauts: fat hunters with hammerfist.
infected birds: don't make an appearence till redzone and only in 3 missions (as far as i know)
evolved: humans who are just like you, with the one special power. (mainly 2 blades)
i like the new look for blackwatch,but once you beat the game, you can no longer consume the captains, which leaves you with the driver blackwatch and soldier, which kinda sucks.
you can no longer patsy people sadly, and you only have access to one devastator and some powers from the first game feel weaker in skill. (such as the claws not being able to dig in the ground and create a huge spike)
but the new powers are awesome, such as the tendrils, but make the game soo much easier.
but the game is great and fun, if you liked the first prototype, please be sure to try this one, i don't think you'll be disappointed. :)
how did i do? if you liked my review click the recommend button..if not, please tell me what i did wrong and i'll try to make my next one more amazing! :D
