Prototype

[Corvus]

Did a quick search and didn't seem to come up with another thread.
Basically game where you can free run and mash people to little bits. 3rd person fighter in a free roam city, with ridiculous powers like running up the sides of buildings. The cover looks suspiciously like Assassin's Creed lol
Friend of mine got it for pc this morning, along with an xbox controller, and watched him play for a few mins before i had to go, and it looked pretty damn fun, but i have no idea about the life of the game and replayability. Maybe could get stale fairly quickly.

Anyone else bought it/thinking of buying it?

 

[Revilo]

I will when I get a new xbox

My mate has it and he says its awesome. Then again...he is a gamerscore whore so he's not wholly trustable

My friend had it and I played it over at his on the pc .

It was hell alot of fun, the actual physics is nice (you can grab people, run up to a high building and throw them off, same with cars and trucks).
It gets really easy (imo, but I was playing on easy mode anyway) later in the game when you get almost all of the enhancements, but I haven't really gone that far anyway.

So it's Hulk: Ultimate Destruction except you're a little smaller and more agile?

 

[Varric]

You can get 5 different abilities form, each strong in their own way (Claws are fast but weak, blade is slow but strong) and you can alternate between punching and kicking easily, you can also get armour but it limits your manoeuvring abilities such as rolling and gliding but in return gives you an armour boost, you can hijack tanks and helicopters although you may find it difficult hijacking a tank in the middle of a battlefield, you can even take on a single disguise by 'consuming' a person and then anyone looking for you (military) can't find you, but you have to find a spot where they can't see you.

So no, it's much more fun .

The best ULTRA VIOLENT game in a long time, since postal 2. (violent+funny)

Just sprinting around slicing up every civilian you see.

It's pretty fun. Helicopters are annoying to get rid of though, especially in one mission where they keep coming, aerial combats is severely ****.

My brother bought it yesterday, it is purely awesome...

Not to sound like im trolling or anything ,
but Prototype isnt really that good.
Like its crazily un-balanced ,
and its just GTA on steroids.
And to beat it all you have to beat the game to unlock free roam.

Although it does have pretty graphics.

Its basically a pretty unbalanced button masher

It gets a 5 1/2 out 10

First the Dark Knight, now this? This guy just hates all things enjoyable. 

Also, how can you have an unbalanced SINGLE-PLAYER game? That's like saying Pokemon is unbalanced because you can get your Pokemon to a higher level than the Elite Four's.

Wow you really like to run your mouth little boy.

If at once i said it was a "bad" game or that i hate it , please tell me?

Oh wait! i didnt.

I said it wasnt that good of a game , so i dont see any trolling or hating there.

Kids these days , eh CJ1145?

Well , it obviously means , YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE GAME , TO UNLOCK FREE ROAM.

I dont see how it could get anymore complicated.

 

[CJ1145]

The way you said it is plenty more complicated.

 

[clayton117]

Ha actually i just realized what you meant ,
I read my sentence again
" And to beat it all you have to beat the game to unlock free roam"

Ha , well apologies on that one

 

[Kamos32]

Eh I've been getting some mixed responses, luckily my friend already bought it so I'll just borrow it from him .

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Free Roam is open at all times, just don't accept a mission...
That's why when you fail a mission, it gives you the option to exit to free roam.

This guy is a troll.

 

[jasonxfri13th]

It is actually a very fun game. You are overpowered, but that is because you have to kill so many things. Think of Crackdown...

 

[gamerwiz09]

So it's like GTA-Mercenaries-Postal-Play as a Superpowered baddass type game? GOTTA BUY...

Exactly. Plus Crackdown.
