I bought this game for $9.99 at GameStop on 10/25/09 and it was exactly like Prototype. The only difference is that Prototype's story is significantly better. I was very pleased with the playability and the fact it kept me engrossed and entertained. I have played it for about 3 hours and yet to beat it so it passes my test on being long enough. My 4 year old and 6 year old also played the heck out of it and loved the free roaming environment. I will say that I am running a good rig with a ATI Radeon 4890 series and 8 GB of RAM along with Win Vista 64 bit edition. This is a must buy and great for anyone with fantastic graphics. Ultimately you might see very little frame rate issues but the camera is GREAT and not frustrating! My suggestion is to buy it if you can find it before they sell out and you are forced to pay $20+ on eBay for it. You will enjoy it and its as cheap as two rentals from Blockbuster.
