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

“Great game. Think GTA4, but with a vast array of super powers. I enjoyed the fragmented way the story was presented and the game play is really fun with a lot of different events and random things to do. ”

“How is this game. Contemplating on getting it”

“If you enjoyed The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and at the same time thought "Hey, I wonder what these guys are thinking. I'll just eat them and find out." Then give it a go, controls are good, graphics aren't ground breaking but they aren't awful, combat gets to be a hell of a lot of fun once everything is unlocked too. Story side of things are shallow in the cut-scenes but the "Web of Intrigue" I felt was a fantastic game-play mechanic. Re-playability depends entirely on your own tolerance of repetition. Once you've gone through it once there isn't much to bring you back unless you're one of the obsessive compulsives that absolutely needs to find everything.”

“@Spiderish so it basically sounds like a hack and slash...HMMMM I will see”

“OH, running around the city hopping on the buildings is a metric crap-ton of fun too. At least for me it was, so it's kind of a 3D platformer hack and slash.”

“Run around Manhattan killing anyone you want to... Or don't. Issue: There should not be an achievement for completing the game without dying, or an achievement for collecting all of the landmarks/hints. Those types of achievements are obnoxious...”
