What I Believe Prototype May Be

*Let me first say that I have not played the game, I have only watched someone else play a retail copy for a while*
What the guy was mostly doing was savagely destroying everything in his path, consuming other humans either to regenerate health or become them, and constantly having to rely on getting into a tank to take on what seems like the army most of the time. Something about constantly getting into a tank didn't seem like a fun way to always make the best of a situation, especially when the tank blows up and leaping onto the next one near by. To me, I thought that the "Prototype" was supposed to be this crazy ass thing that you became and gave you insane powers to annihilate everything in your path, even tanks. Granted, he could have been at an early point in the game and did not have these powers unlocked yet, which would make sense.
What I thought looked awesome, was the ability to run up buildings, holding a helpless lady while hoards of an army are unloading everything they've got at you, just to reach the top and throw the lady off to her death (which was freakin' hilarious). Also, the ability to glide in the air, shoot straight down onto a street filled with helpless humans and what looks to be an endless wave of taxis, to shoot tons of spikes out of the ground to slaughter everyone around you. There's something about creating so much chaos that not only is awesome to watch, really make me want to get my hands on this game when it comes out today? Tomorrow? I don't know.
I'm still waiting to see some reviews. It's 8:30am and there is only 1 review from the UK, which I can't read because it's in a magazine. That could mean something. Either this game is getting semi-good scores and not being allowed to show until a certain time or everyone is trying to catch up from E3 last week, which are my assumptions.
Come on game sites, show me your scores!
