    Nothing unexpected..

    Well,I've played the game from 14:00 today and I've just stopped...It's very entertaining and very chaotic game. I didn't like the story, it's too lame and very slow...Sometimes it takes a lot to unlock a new node in the web. During this, the gameplay takes it's place. As I said, the game is really chaotic, there're times, where I cannot understand where Alex ( the main character) is in this blood bath, but it's very beautiful at some point. Also there're a lot of ways to fight a single type of enemy: crash him under a car, throw something on him, slam it, do some wrestling moves etc. It's really fun actually, but It gets boring, because doing these things for, like, 10 hours, is very  dumb. There are a lot of movements and skills (oh, yeah, the skill are too much, I felt stupid, when I started to upgrade my character, there're nearly 200 skills...WTF???)  and it gets little confusing. But some of them are really necesary, you cannot play the game without them, or if you don't have them, the game gets really dumb. If you have the most of them, the game gets very easy, and the only thing, you have to do, is to fight 2 hours with some group of hunters (those stragne mutants, that come from the so called "Hives"), millitary, or some other foes, and then to run for 10 minutes from the one part of the city to the other, just to unlock a node...well that's really boring and makes me angry (just like Assassin's Creed)...But as I said in the title, notning unexpected...the game is some strange mix of "Assassin's Creed" and "Devil May Cry", I wasn't exprecting something better, or someting worse. The graphics could be better (the city looks awlful in the distance from some skyscrapers ) and some sound effects are really strange and unusual...Although, I think that the game should be played from everyone, because it's not something, that comes out every day (some peole told me, that the game looks like "GTA" in some "PoP"-style, well probably)

      I'm impressed 0

      I've waited for this game for a few years now, and I picked it up as soon as I could. I'm now 3 hours into it and I'm awestruck. While it's true that the graphics aren't top notch, the gameplay, combat, and sheer scope of the game is entirely worthy of many merits. I don't understand why people wouldn't like this game. Sure, it's just like inFamous, but I don't have a PS3 and therefore am not able to play it. I think this is a worthy substitute to satisfy my craving for an overpowered super-pers...

      Great Gameplay and Graphics make Prototype a great game! 0

      Prototype is an Open-World game that has been developed by Radical Entertainment. You probably know Radical Entertainment from their other open world games, such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run and Scarface: The World Is Yours. The Simpsons was known to be a great game, while Scarface wasn't all that great. With experience on Radical's side, how well did they go with Prototype?Prototype is set in the Manhattan. There is a Virus that has infected the city and the Military wants to put a stop to it o...
