Now, not a lot of people like Prototype from what I've seen. My friends and people on the internet say it isn't that good but I think otherwise. I got this game after seeing trailers and gameplay that really excited me. It's got a good story and there is a choice between mission mode and free roam which can be switched at any time. Sometimes however you will be playing on free roam and you must go to a location to start a mission. When you do a mission, you can still do everything you can on free roam but there will probably be army and monsters after you. You are Alex Mercur. A deadly infection has spread over New York. You can be a good guy or a bad guy. ...  Read the complete review

This game as an interesting premise so I'll write a game based on my experiences. You play as a young man named Alex Mercer who has lost his memory (I know it's a typical gaming cliche but ...) and he has to fight his way through a mutant infected 'New York' to discover the truth.

This is a cool premise and I'd love it but Alex Mercer is such a miserable, unlikeable character and kind of ruins it. When playing game it is cool as he runs down the ...  Read the complete review

Prototype is a thirdperson free roaming game where you play as the main character Alex Mercer, who has mysteriously lost his memory..but also gained superpowers. The game take place in Manhattan which is displayed very well in this game. A virus has been unleased onto the city, spreading a disease to citizens and making them mutate and become mindless, And although you are an effect of the disease, you are much different from the others victims. Gameplay: The gameplay of Prototype is the average superhero sandbox game type. You can free roam around the city and explore as you wish from the start of the game, which I thought was a good feature. Throughout the ...  Read the complete review

The definition for prototype is an original type, form, or instance serving as a basis or standard for later stages. I found this ironic considering the unfinished nature of this release. Prototype was released very close to Sucker Punch's InFamous which was its biggest competition. In terms of ratings and popularity, InFamous was more successful getting a 9.0 on IGN whereas this got a less impressive 7.5 as well as more criticism across the board. Their plots are also fairly similar but I preferred Prototype's concept more. You play as Alex Mercer, a man who is suffering from memory loss and has mysteriously obtained unknown powers. Manhattan is in ...  Read the complete review
