Prototype (Xbox 360)

I have been waiting for this game for ages - and now I finally have it. To say I'm disappointed would be an overstatement. Frustrated - yes. Let's start with the story... You are Alex Mercer, and you have an awesome disease that allows you to transform your body into an array of weaponry in order to wreak havoc upon a quarentined New York filled with a tyrannical paramilitary and a severe zombie problem. Your mission is to find out who gave you this disease, recover your identy and... er... save the world? Alex Mercer isn't quite a hero. In fact, he's more of a villain. You don't really get a choice in whether or not you kill innocent bystanders - ...  Read the complete review

Prototype is a brand new video game series from Activision, it has been highly anticipated since early trailers of the game. In this game you play as Alex Mercer a prototype weapon, never saw that coming did you! He wants to save the city from a spreading infection and find the person that did this to him. The story is actually rather disappointing and bland and unintelligible flashbacks are the main sources of plot development. The gameplay here reminds me most of one of the many Spiderman games, you have the island of Manhattan New York as your playground, Alex has superpowers like Spiderman again and can run up buildings and run really fast, ...  Read the complete review

You know what, I hate hype, the media builds a game up to the point that it seems almost godly, although, it's unlikely the game will live up to it, (cough) Haze (cough)And yet I fall for this little marketing trick every time, as I did for Prototype. They promised me I would be untouchable as I ran through the streets with an abundance of powers to use at will, and you know what, they delivered. As you can see by the awesome boxart, this isn't the usual superhero, no this game was dreamt up by some teenage boy bored with his day to day routine. This game revolves around Alex Mercer, a guy who has control over a great range of powers but also a case of the ...  Read the complete review
