After waiting well over a year Prototype finally hits the shelves. It has been hyped to the max like all big games these days and unsurprisingly what you get is different from what we were led to believe.It is still good though. According to the opinio...

Product Code: 05030917067310 At the outset of Radical Entertainments game Prototype, black wormy tendrils slither around a taxi, nudging it, goading, as not-quite-vigilant-enough policemen patrol a decimated city square. The city - another freeform...

Prototype is a carefully constructed action title with one of the best stories weve seen this year. Despite a couple of minor faults, the gameplay is fast and fluid, and the characters presented are compelling enough to make you care. Fans of the supe...
Fantastic storyline, excellent gameplay, awesome superpowers.
No real side missions, lack of longevity, no multiplayer, occasionally drab graphics.

I have been keeping tabs on Prototype for a very long time; since 2007 in fact when I saw the very first trailer that Radical released for the game. Prototype is Radical Entertainment's open world, third person brawler with some serious twists. You are...

Prototype puts you in the shoes of Alex Mercer, an everyman who for some reason wakes up on a slab at the county morgue. Why is he there? How is he no longer dead? What's going wrong in the city? What's going wrong with him?!Prototype is the latest san...

The first moments of Prototype are amazing. You don’t know what the buttons do, you don’t know what different powers you have and you don’t know that for a very long time you won’t be this powerful again. What you do know is that there are loads of sol...
Prototype is a little disappointing. We didn’t expect to go through the whole game thinking, ‘Oh, that could have been done much better’, but that’s exactly what happened. When you’re given such an adventure playground and yo...

If you’ve ever played 2005’s The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (or the lukewarm 2008 follow-up from Sega), then you know that its “hero” aspect is largely inconsequential. Who cares about saving puny humans when you can make boxing gloves out o...

The ridiculously ambitious project, known as Prototype, has been in works from Radical Entertainment for many years now, and, fueled by unparalleled hype and some delays, built up an enormous fanbase who had hopes for one of the would-be greatest sandb...
What we were promised is what we get; many believed that Radical would simply not be able to pull that much off. But they did. Prototype is a perfect example of how an old-school concept can work for a modern game, even without ruining the balance and...

Alex Mercer is a rather misunderstood guy. All he wants in his life is to find the person that turned him into an ungodly powerful monster who has the ability to shape shift, make bladed weapons from his own body, and run and fly everywhere. While Al...
I’d give this game an 8/10. It is a solid game with a few minor flaws holding back. People who bought and enjoyed Free Radial’s other game “Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction” will certainly love this game and notice many similarities in the titles...

If you were to ask me to sum up my impressions of Prototype, those words would be: “so close.” The gameplay elements of Prototype, with one glaring exception, are dead-on. Maneuvering about the city is not just a breeze, it’s one of the most fun activi...

Prototype could have been flawless if it wasn’t for the low replay value and stale building textures. This is a very fun sandbox title that will provide around 60 or so hours of fun. If you can complete a 60 hour game within one rental period I would...

To provide a certain amount of respite from all the mayhem on-screen there are times when the game will allow you to try out a stealthy option as well. No, this doesn’t involve sneaking around a la Sam Fisher during the night; instead you’ll b...

Repetitive missions, lack of polish, can be TOO chaotic.
Prototype is an ambitious outing from Free Radical and Activision. You are a being with near unlimited power and one goal in sight, find out who wronged you and kill them… kill them a lot. Does the game live up to its ambitions, or is it just a pro...

Lots of games are violent, but Prototype is ultra-violent, filled with bloody carnage that leaves no one safe. I was a little upset at first that I couldnt even try to be good, but I felt pretty liberated once I simply accepted that I was going to kil...
The combat is fun when it isnt out of hand; over-the-top gore is pretty amusing.
Bad AI, poor visuals, and confusing storytelling.
