User Rating: 6.5 | Prototype (2009) PC

This has been reviewed a lot so I will just keep this brief.

Pro's:
-Running and jumping around the city is fun.
-Lots of upgrades/ways to use powers.
-Interesting story. Follows the same idea as Assassin's Creed though, with Memory's stored in DNA
-Solid Animations

Cons:
-Dated graphics- City buildings look flat and PS2'ish.
-Cloned NPC/Cars- 10,000's taxi's and a few hundred trucks/tanks not much else.
-Lifeless city.
-Poor NPC AI
-Hives. A poor excuse for infinite spawn points.
-It's not a hard game but deaths are frequent because of cheap deaths resulting in large parts of missions being played over and over and over.
-You can't get into cars/taxi's. Only hijack Heli's/Tanks.

Still a fun game and maybe 6.5 is a little harsh but with so many people just saying '10' this will average it out a lil.

  First off, yes there is that silly Infamous vs Prototype fanboy war, yadda yadda. But rest assured, because this review leaves all that bias behind: in other words, I am rating purely from my honest opinions, unaffected ... Read Full Review
