Prototype is an "ok" game the story is terrible with huge gaps and holes that connect the whole story line the graphics are pretty cool. the gliding and flying is pretty hard to control other than that its a great game.

For some reason, he goverment doesn't suspect that a superhuman that they tortured won't come back and bite them in the butt.
Prototype was a game I had my eyes on since the very beginning. I had marked a different date each time the game was put back. What I loved about the game was the engaging gameplay and a variety of powers. I couldn't stop playing once I had started. The parkour was an amazing asset to the experience. All the powers were fantastic, exept the whipfist is way overpowered and turned each boss battle of sprint in a circle, jump, whipfist. Repeat, repeat, repeat, etc etc etc.
In the end, about 3/4 of the wait was worth it. The game was far to short, the side missions were absolutely pointless, the boss battles were mediocre, hijacking a tank has no purpose, characters aside from Alex weren't really that important (Where the hell did Dana go?), and the hints were boring to find.
I'm not saying I didn't like prototype. The gore was fantastic. Most of the powers were useful, parkour is great, open world free running never get's boring, and Alex Mercer is very very cool.
Spoiler alert: This is a note to Radical
Please make a sequel or DLC. This game was so much fun, and I'm hungry for some more crazy super power action. Or a prequel. Ohhh. Play as Elizebeth Greene in Hope. Or maybe as a hunter. Or a new character. I loved virtual Manhattan, but is it possible to make the next one in San Francisco or L.A.? Also, if you do make a sequal, could you include more powers? And make it so we can have to offensive powers at once (Blade and claws would be so awesome).

PROTOTYPE
I think it's an incredible game, and totally lived up to my expectations. My only complaints would be that the graphics are sub-par, and the in-game type (hints, objectives, subtitles) is so small it's almost unreadable.

Prototype
For most of us, walking around a crowded metropolis is a hellish experience. Being surrounded on all sides by jostling people, honking cars and immense buildings can make you feel powerless and trapped. Prototype's virtual Manhattan also seethes with a veritable wall of humanity -- along with soldiers, infected creeps, and other menaces -- but Alex Mercer is anything but an ordinary pedestrian. For him, the madding crowd isn't an annoying fact of life: it's an all-you-can-eat buffet.
