DESCRIPTION

Prototype is an open-ended action adventure game that puts players in the role of a smart young scientist named Alex Mercer — in a sense, the title role. Alex has been infected with a virus that gives him amazing powers of genetic manipulation, allowing him to alter his physical form. By adjusting his biomass at will, he can leap and safely fall from great heights. He can detect smoke-screened enemies or other infected beings with enhanced vision. He can transform his arms into cutting blades or heavy sledgehammers. He also can take the shape, and even the memories, of opponents he defeats and "consumes." Alex once worked for an innovative and influential genetics research firm, but his memories have been taken from him. He is now alone, in an evacuated New York City. To survive, he must hunt.

What Alex hunts is left largely to the player. Is the true enemy Blackwatch, the Army's special force dedicated to eliminating the virus in every form, including Alex? Or is the ultimate threat the virus itself, which threatens to consume all life on the planet, including humankind? The adventure uses non-linear mission structures and an expansive, open sandbox setting to push players to their own answers. Alex gets around by leap and bounds, and he can make parkour-style runs up the sides of buildings. In combat, His ability to shift his physical structure puts deadly melee weapons and bulletproof shields at his immediate disposal. Often, even greater damage is done through subterfuge, as the ability to assume another's persona allows for deep and deadly infiltration. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Started the first few missions on my Hard playthrough, since I have had this shelved for a few months. Forgot how much fun it is to just simply run up a wall whenever you want to.^^”

“Prototype, Prototype, Prototype! Such a damned good game!^^
That reminds me that I need to finish my second Easy playthrough to get the "Hard To Kill" achievement and my Hard playthrough for the "Revenge Revisited" achievement. Still have to find a few more landmarks, too!;;”

“@Simman HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You are too funny. That is an Anime Cat from this show called "Tri-Gun". It used to come on the [Adult Swim] Cartoon Network. I loved that show (I hated it at first, but then it starts to grow on you).

The main character, "Vash the Stampede", at first you think he is a total bad ass, and real cool. Then you come to find out that he just dumb-lucks his way out of trouble. And then you end-up liking him, because he's such a lovable goofball.

So, out of nowhere, THAT CAT just appears at random once in every episode --- like in Fight Club (where sh*t just appears in the movie). It's crazy. I got this stuffed cat at the Anime Convention in LA 2005.”

“Yeah, good ole Sly Cooper right?

Prototype was a good game, Infamous was amazing, the reason why they were compared is cause they came out at the same time and they were both kinda the same premise.

One super hero type guy against the world.”

“Great game. Think GTA4, but with a vast array of super powers. I enjoyed the fragmented way the story was presented and the game play is really fun with a lot of different events and random things to do. ”

“How is this game. Contemplating on getting it”

Spiderish was the last to comment - about 1 month ago...

“If you enjoyed The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and at the same time thought "Hey, I wonder what these guys are thinking. I'll just eat them and find out." Then give it a go, controls are good, graphics aren't ground breaking but they aren't awful, combat gets to be a hell of a lot of fun once everything is unlocked too. Story side of things are shallow in the cut-scenes but the "Web of Intrigue" I felt was a fantastic game-play mechanic. Re-playability depends entirely on your own tolerance of repetition. Once you've gone through it once there isn't much to bring you back unless you're one of the obsessive compulsives that absolutely needs to find everything.”

“@Spiderish so it basically sounds like a hack and slash...HMMMM I will see”

Spiderish was the last to comment - about 1 month ago...

“OH, running around the city hopping on the buildings is a metric crap-ton of fun too. At least for me it was, so it's kind of a 3D platformer hack and slash.”

“I love this game! It received quite a bit of bad press but i love the fact that it doesn't take itself to seriously. Good animated moves mixed in with open gameplay make this game a favourite in my colllection!”
