My usual Good vs. Bad review (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You have been warned)
The Good:
- Though they aren't the best, the graphics in Prototype are great. They also make New York city look and feel like New York city. Little to no things are fake, from names of stores, to area locations.(Oh, and for those who wonder, "Does the blood actually look like blood, and not just a red mess?" The answer is yes!
- The story is very deep, causing the player to constantly think whats going to happen next, and who is doing what. Personally, I think this games story belongs with the best of them.
- There are many side missions which you can do either during or after you complete the story (yes, you can go back and do everything you missed once the final boss is killed. You don't have to start over.)
- There is a WIDE variety of powers, one of the widest selections I have seen so far when it comes to not just an action game, but an open world game. Oh and did I forget to mention that over 80% of the powers/moves you buy with EXP can be upgraded AT LEAST once?
- With all the powers you can have comes a challenge, and Prototype doesn't disappoint. You will constantly be up against many enemies at once, bringing you a not too difficult, but FAR from easy fight for survival.
- In open world games, transportation and how you're going to get from place to place seems to be a big deal, and though you can't drive cars in Prototype, you can sprint at the speed of one, and even faster if you upgrade it! You can also (SPOILER START!)>>>Drive around in tanks you Hijack from the military, and further in the game you can even fly helicopters.
