Prototype was one of the funnest games ive played for the 360. I loved how you could just run around and kill everything. Then run away, Disguise yourself. And do it over. Thats really fun.
**GAMEPLAY**
The gameplay is fairly straight foward. You are Alex Mercer, You remember nothing but you want revenge. You start unlocking powers thanks to a virus that was injected into you, Your callsign from the military is 'Zeus' But the military isnt on your side.
Ill go over the weapons and stuff real quick for you.
***ATTACK POWERS***
Claws - The first weapon you get. Its pretty much what it says.. Claws. Perfect for mauling through crowds of civillans (or military personel / Infected)
Hammerfist - The second weapon you get. Its an area of effect weapon, That means it bashes the arounds and causes damage to everything around you.. Weak. But very good for clearing the area when your surrounded.
Whipfist - Its a whip... Thats all i can say. You and throw it out and slash people in half.. at later levels you can use it to grapple onto helicopters and Hijack them.
Strongarm - (I forget the actual name ofr it) But its an enchancement of your fists. Your basic melee attacks do more damage, You can throw farther, And kick harder.
Blade - My favorite.. The blade is used for just about every scenario. From being surrounded or just going toe to toe with one enemy. The jump attack (when you purchase it) Fully charged takes out a tank in one hit.
***DEFENCE POWERS***
Armor - Exactly what it says. You gain armor. YOur body is encased in some organic hard substance that weakens enemy attacks by alot. Only drawbacks are, You cannot jump as high, Run as fast, Or glide.
Shield - The more friedly version of Armor. With this you CAN jump higher and glide and run faster. It just does not cover you fully. So your vulurable from behind.
Disguise - You have the power to Morph yourself into a civillion you absorbed or into military personell you absorbed. Good for esacpeing those pesky military helicopters.
***SENSORY***
(These are straight foward. Wont give a good description)
Infected vision - Allows you to see idividuals infected with the virus. Makes you look weird
Thermal Vision - Allows you to see military personel though walls, Buildings.. Just about anything. Which makes it unsafe for them.
**GRAPHICS**
The graphics are some of the best ive seen. for a console (Yes, I don't play consoles very often) Every detail is splendid especially when your morphing. The look of your Arms / Body. Really fantastic.
**SOUND**
The sounds are well done and on par with the voice acting. The sound of your blade going through the infected / Civilans flesh is very nice.
**REPLAY VALUE**
This game has a strong replay value. Once you beat the game you are allowed to start a "new game +" It allows you to play with a charecter you have beaten the game with. And with ALL of your powers and skills unlocked.
**FUN FACTOR**
This game has a great fun factor. The killing and free roam never gets boring. Its a paradice (For me anyway)
**OVERALL**
In my opinion this game is a MUST HAVE if your into Free roam and killing just about everything you see. The price has dropped from 50 dollars down to bout $20 - $30 If you've been looking for a GOOD game, Take my word on it. Get this.
(Holy crap this is long.. The powers took up a godo portion of it. ;D!)
I gave it a 5/5 because its is actually one of the games that seriously catches my attention, Running around with a mutant that can transform his arms into body parts, And non-stop killing? Sounds like win to me. Lol.
its a good game and im glad i bought it but 5/5? Well thats your opinion but I would say I would give it 3 or 4/5. I dont really think it has much replay value.
