DESCRIPTION

Prototype is an open-ended action adventure game that puts players in the role of a smart young scientist named Alex Mercer — in a sense, the title role. Alex has been infected with a virus that gives him amazing powers of genetic manipulation, allowing him to alter his physical form. By adjusting his biomass at will, he can leap and safely fall from great heights. He can detect smoke-screened enemies or other infected beings with enhanced vision. He can transform his arms into cutting blades or heavy sledgehammers. He also can take the shape, and even the memories, of opponents he defeats and "consumes." Alex once worked for an innovative and influential genetics research firm, but his memories have been taken from him. He is now alone, in an evacuated New York City. To survive, he must hunt.

What Alex hunts is left largely to the player. Is the true enemy Blackwatch, the Army's special force dedicated to eliminating the virus in every form, including Alex? Or is the ultimate threat the virus itself, which threatens to consume all life on the planet, including humankind? The adventure uses non-linear mission structures and an expansive, open sandbox setting to push players to their own answers. Alex gets around by leap and bounds, and he can make parkour-style runs up the sides of buildings. In combat, His ability to shift his physical structure puts deadly melee weapons and bulletproof shields at his immediate disposal. Often, even greater damage is done through subterfuge, as the ability to assume another's persona allows for deep and deadly infiltration. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Firs ttime I play this game without it to crash, thanks to windows 7 RC that was making my Steam games crash. I am surprised that I can run it smoothly at the highest settings without my new GFXs.”

“This game is awesome! Although I must admit that I'm a storyline person and that this game has a weak plot, the graphics and all the things I can do make up for it! I'm hooked :)”

“Still can't fix the "Missing XAudio2" error. Been reloading it off Steam every couple weeks in hopes there was an update in either the game or my sound drivers but no luck. Activision's...”

“Brilliant game. Some may find it a wee bit repetitive, but it's got a lot of variety if you choose to play it that way. Some missions are intense, and frustrating at times, but its worth it. Especially the final boss battle. Story is quite weird...”
