Prototype (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...all over buildings until it zooms in on Alex Mercer, the hooded “Assassins Creed” style killer. The streets are lined with the bodies of the dead and then you’re thrown in to the action. Up till now absolutely nothing has been explained to you. You find yourself with loads of different powers, and a constant bombardment of zombie pedestrians and tutorial and hint boxes. After a rather stop and start experience having to plough through loads of text ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...Graphics are not spectacular in prototype but they are satisfactory. The Cut Scenes of course are stunning like in all games but the in game graphics themselves are not quite as cutting edge. The surroundings of themselves are not boring but are not jaq dropping. There are landmarks such as central park and times square that breakaway from the repetive buildings dotted around. Also all Hives and Military bases look very similar if not exactly the ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

...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 ...
...but the real originality of prototype comes in the use of various enhanced powers, the most important of these are the ability for the prototype to transform into any other NPC he meets, and the power to transform his arms into gigantic weapons. Basically a shape shifter, but he is also super strong, super fast and can jump super high. Gameplay wise is where i think this really cool concept gets to be a bit worrying. If you have played any of the ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...that you as Alex Mercer receive (namely upgrades for your immense running), a skilled gamer can create an epic battle out of a few soldiers and a tank. Running up walls, picking up lorries and morphing your body into a lean-mean fighting machine is all anyone could want. Alex can change his body into a fully armour beast, equipping himself with his own Blade arm. But if that's not your thing, chuck on your mobile shield, run THROUGH cars and then ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

...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 ...
...hands to shields. Watch the cinematic intro on you tube to get an idea. The player unlocks more abilities as the game progresses and its always fun to unleash these powers on the city of New York. As the game progresses areas of the city slowly get infected and hence apart from the civilians and military presence you also havea resident evil type enemies which offer variety. The missions are quite varied and lot of emphasis is put on side quests ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

I expected Prototype to be grand theft auto, except you know, more hardcore. It fell just a little bit short. Sure, its a sandbox game where you can go on missions, and your a badass beast cool powers, but the execution of all this is off. You play as Alex Mercer, a man that wakes up in a city Morgue, with complete amnesia, you play out the story trying to find out who you are, and how you relate to the infection that is taking NYC over. The graphics ...
...some of the power combinations are so hard to do, which just makes the game even more annoying. I have to say, you could play the game for hours and hours just messing around and going on rampages. All in all, Prototype is a pretty decent game. ...

Review of Prototype (Xbox 360)

Prototype is a free roaming game where you play a character called Alex Mercer, who has woken up on an operating table with no memory of who he is. In this game, as you progress you must find alex's memories and peice them to together as he takes down everyone and everything that is responsible for making him this way. The is a free-roaming, which at first, i have to be honest isnt that fun. As you progress through the game you discover your true ...
...Also consume people whenever and whereever you want maybe to gain health, hide from the military or just because you like watch people being sucked into you! There is no limits to where you can go, run up building easily a quickly to get around or jump in a tank or helicopter to help you along the way, even use guns such as the M16 and javalin! As you progress through the story the city gradually changes to an infected and apocalyptic city. As the ...
