    Prototype of a great game.

    Prototype is game some people will love and some people will hate it all depends on the reason you are playing the game. If your are playing Prototype for an orginal story and and ground breaking gameplay i'll save you some time and tell you its a rent. If you looking to play prototype because you love the idea of cruisng around a sandbox nyc with a kickass super hero who combines some well known superpowers with his own unique twist to them to cause want and destruction you came to the right game.

    Prototype tells the story of alex mercer a hooded man with a fogy past. Alex awakes up on an autopsy table with a slight case of dam wtf am I and super powers to boot. From there on he is hunted by the army and by creatures of an infection spreading around town.  The rest of story unflods as Alex perfoms the games main missions which usually invole finding someone to kill of protect or finding samples or information for someone. That being said the missions varried enough in pace and structure that just as your feeling fed up a new boss shows up to psice things up. Besides the main missions more of alex story is revelead though the web of intrigue. The web of intrigue is a web of memories that alex can feel out with the memories he acquries from specfically marked npcs in the world. These memories are done in flashy hazy real life stills and voice overs revealing tidbits of alex's past and the orgin of his powers.

    Outside of the main  story prototype offers many things to keep you occupied. As is common  with most open world city games there are orbs to collect that will gain alex some extra exp. also there are over 200 npc to absorb to complete the web of intrigue.
    prototype also offers a suite of different side missions which are really fun and invole using one of alex's power to achive a goal. You are then given a medal based on your performance which nets you a exp according to the medal.

    You may be asking yourself whats all the exp is for ? well all exp you collect in prototype can be used to upgrade or unlock the countless number of powers alex has at his disposal. these powers range from  new attacks,new powers, movment and more. This was my favroite part of of prototype and was what kept me coming back for more. Early on in the game while alex can still haul and kick ass its nothing compared to the amount he can once he is fully maxed out.

    So there you have it thats my take on prototype.

      But what is the... prototype? 0

      Prototype arrived ridding a wave of hype, but does it deliver its promises or does instead drown in them? The game tells the story of man, Alex Mercer, awaking in the morgue, with no memories, and a question on his mind:"Who did this to me?"In the meantime, Manhattan is put under quarantine by the regular army and a unknown military outfit, called the Blackwatch Special Forces, due to a misterious virus that spread within the city, turning its citizens into disfigured zombies.Are the two related...

      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 ...
