    Worth playing.

    It's worth a rent don't know if its worth buying though.

    I went though the main story in about 10h most of that time was spend traveling from one side of the city to the other since they seem to like dropping you on the opposite side of the city from the next mission.

    Unless you really liked the story there is really no incentive to go through the game again unless your going for trophies/achievements. It has no choices or any thing in it its just a point A to B story. And I didn't find the gameplay compelling enough to want to do the side missions. But that's more of a personal preference.

The game is also very frustrating at times I played on normal and it felt like the hardest modes on other games at times and at other times you blow right through every thing it was very uneven.

    Don't get me wrong its defiantly fun enough and the story is entertaining enough to be worth playing through once but unless you like the gameplay style its only worth a rent.

While the core action was great fun last gen, Radical seems to have recognized that the industry has moved on since then. In order to differentiate Prototype from its predecessor, shape shifting abil...

      It's Definitely Worth A Rent 0

           I beat Prototype yesterday on Normal difficulty. I ended up playing for another hour afterwards, and then started over in New Game +. As you can see, I really enjoy this game, but it's not for everyone.     Prototype is a free world, action/adventure game developed by Radical Entertainment, which is just another way of saying "If you liked The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, you might like this game." It also has many attributes found in Spider-Man 2. At the very beginning, you watch...
