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

“Truly did not expect anything like this being published by Activision. Prototype does well to keep you playing more and more. The major perk about this game is the constant flow you get as you're destroying and killing anything around you. There's no need to pause before running up a building Alex just starts running up it the moment you get close enough. If you dislike a chopper shooting at you and you've run out of things to throw at it, just grow a massive fist and punch it and if there's a tank underneath you why not do an elbow drop on it right after destroying that chopper. It's almost as if you think you can do it in the game you probably can. The story in the game is fairly decent but can be dull and the game play can get repetitive but playing as a god like mutant in the city of new york makes it worth while.”
