    5 Stars It's got zombies? Now it's a game 15/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent gameplay, finally satisfies the power hungry urge we all have inside is

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Graphics are average

    If you’ve read my last review you’d know it featured a rather “trigger happy” fella’ who went by the name of Alec Mason. This review features a pretty violent bloke by the name of Alex Mercer, the prototype, maybe it’s just me, but Alec Mason and Alex Mercer in the same month, coincidence or conspiracy. Whatever the case this games much better; it’s got zombies. The game rather abruptly started following a group of soldiers in a beautifully rendered cinematic. The camera follows a series of red vines growing all over buildings until it zooms in on Alex Mercer, the hooded “Assassins Creed” ... more

    4 Stars Fun, Gory and Addictive but with room for improvement! 17/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Story, Great Gameplay and Great Fun!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Graphics could be better and some combos seem pointless.

    Prototype is about Alex Mercer; a man who wakes up to find he knows nothing of his past and is gifted with incredible powers. Mercer ultimately wants to find out what happened to him, who did it to him, and to seek revenge when he does. Perhaps one of the most fun to play characters that I personally have ever experienced, Mercer is sinister and shrouded in mystery. Mercer sets out on a mission to discover his past and the conspiracies of a company called Gentek, by absorbing key members of the military, Gentek and a corporation called Black watch to obtain their memories and uncover the truth ... more

    4 Stars A game torn between Amazing and mediocre 14/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages +a cool concept taking games like Assassins creed and marvel games and making a hybrid

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -Graphics aren't perfect, - not very difficult

    I have been very excited about the release of prototype since it was announced, the visuals looked awesome from trailers and the gameplay looked fantastic. In case you dont know, Prototype is about a guy who wakes up in a morgue with strange powers, while the rest of the city has been plagued with a "zombie-esque" virus which turns everyone into mutants. The story follows the prototype as he attempts to rediscover his forgotten memories, and find the people responsible for what has happened to him. So basically its an action adventure third person sand box game, exploring the city, destroying ... more

    4 Stars You are what you... absorb? 30/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast-paced gameplay, Intuitive design, Brilliant storyline, Destruction that just makes you grin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3D Graphics, No Multiplayer capability

    My first look at Prototype was dubious: the graphics weren't of the high standards we expect from the 3D guys and nobody was shouting "Oh My Goodness this game is amazing", but I didn't mind. I'd had experiences like this before (Fallout 3) and so I decided to buy it. Possibly the best £40 I have spent. The game is absolutely brilliant. It is a beautiful combination of mindless violence and fast-paced action. At first glance, you wouldn't expect it to be fast paced, but with all the abilities that you as Alex Mercer receive (namely upgrades for your immense running), a skilled gamer can create ... more

    4 Stars Think superhero meets dead rising with GTA IV twist to it 29/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great addictive gameplay, amazing superpower element

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Graphics is not in par with todays games

    There have been many superhero games in the market yet Prototype is the first one to trule capture wat having superpowers in a city is all about despite a lack of source material. The game is set in New York city and you play as ALec Mercer who by some wierd chance has got DNA abosrobing superpowers. The story is not the best but it fits in nicely with the gameplay as you unlock memories and more of the back story of is origin as the game progresses. This DNA type virus which has infected Mercer grants him astonishing abilities from sword type hands to shields. Watch the cinematic intro on you ... more
