Prototype unbias review

4 1/2 out of 5 stars
Prototype gives you power like never before. Incredible amount of freedom, combos, and non-stop fun gameplay gives this summer action game a high recommendation.
the good-
*the number of upgrades you can get will have you playing for hours trying to get them all.
*multiple shapes you can turn yourself into, and they come with a laundry list of upgrades.
*The campaign, while shorter than I expected, gives you plenty to do after the game is beat.
*Alex is brilliantly animated.
*There was no detection of technicle issues no matter how many things are going on onscreen (and there are a lot).
*Alex will shout out things while you are playing that will give you a rush of the feeling that you are very powerful, and will make you really WANT to kill the target.
*The story draws you in, and dosent get in the way of the action.
the bad-
*graphics, while they arent terrible, arent very good.
*the "open world" isnt very big, more islands would have been awesome.
*At the end of cutscenes Alex will say a horrible, and badly acted line.
*One of the powers Alex gets isnt very useful

    The Type of Game that I Love to Borrow. 0

    [Prototype] is the type of game that I love to borrow. There are moments when you are scaling sky-scrapers, destroying tanks, hijacking helicopters, and you feel like an elite, über antihero. And there are moments when you have to do lame repetitive missions and  totally suspend your disbelief to swallow the video game-iness of the experience. Bottom line if I haven't caught you attention with these first few sentences, this game is a two week treasure. Play it. It's great. But don't expect to ...
