Prototype

A Potent Pathogen

There were a couple things that got on my nerves, apart from the occasional unheralded spike in difficulty. The first was the surprising lack of monster variety. Sure, there are different species of Hunter and walking wounded, but they don't behave all that differently, and it falls to just a handful of cool boss battles to fill out the mutated zoo. I was also irritated when temporarily robbed of the powers I'd worked to upgrade for a handful of missions, and disappointed that a game that seems to owe a debt to Crackdown doesn't feature a co-op mode.

But the truth is that even talking about these issues feels like nitpicking because I can't wait to go play some more. I suspect that some people will find their enthusiasm drained more than mine by the shallow enemy gene pool, but even they're bound to get swept away by the myriad pleasures of tearing up town as a ghoulish and preternaturally fleet-footed shape-shifter.

PROS: Incredible sense of power and possibility; beautiful and moody; tons of stuff to do; satisfying story.
CONS: Not much difference between different enemy types; some irritatingly drawn-out missions; some sudden jumps in difficulty.

Playing inFamous made me develop a taste for sanbox games, so I'm definately picking up Prototype.

Strange, i tried this already, Prototype...Take Crackdown, spiderman, ninja gaiden, an actual storyline, some twists and spices, blend it all up and plate it up like a mario batali entree and you got yourself one hell of a game in prototype.. BUY IT

After seeing IGN's 7.5 score, I will put this on hold and wait till I finish Infamous thanks.
