A game that any person who always dreamed to have superpowers would be admired to.
I have spent a lot of time with this game and will stick with my own opinion.
I have spent a total of 47 hours playing this game, and had no regrets for every minute I spent. [Prototype] is one of those games that you would never imagine possible to be made nor to be even mentioned about. It contains qualities that is really risky for developers to make because it could be taken as " Trying to Hard but Failed " expression towards other people. But no no my friends, this game is not a failure.
As you guys have heard, [Prototype] is not a perfect game. It does have glitches, bugs, and all those other stuff. It also has the difficulty that would turn people's rage inside them and be forced to throw their controller on the other side of the room. But it was okay, as long as it's not Ninja Gaiden hard.
[Prototype] has a very ambitious and deep story. Thing is, it's not really brought down so well as you have to be very cautious on each cutscene to understand the plot. Even after you finish the game, you will still gain an immersive amount of entertainment since the Web of Intrigue targets are still walking around in Manhattan. It's recommended that you have to consume each one of them to clearly get the right idea of the story.
Hmmm gameplay, the most important thing. And am I happy, because Radical sure have nailed it. [Prototype] may not have the best graphics an Xbox 360 game can offer, but it sure gives people a lot of entertainment with the powers that could attract people easily. Alex Mercer has numerous selection of weapons. The whipfist is one of them, and it is one of the most beastly weapon I've ever seen. Also the first time I've seen a person get cut vertically while the weapon was whipped horizontally. Hmm the power of the whipfist doesn't make sense but as long as it can slice. It is nice.
My conclusion:
I had no regrets of buying [Prototype] on the first day of it's release. It has given me entertainment like no other game could. It is truly worth it, a masterpiece perhaps if they spent more time with the graphics. But it can be easily forgiven with the gameplay.
So rent the game, or maybe buy it. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
