I haven't played Prototype, but even when watching some videos I spotted a load of stuff that looked like it was ripped directly out of Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. It was kind of surprising how much, actually.
@SethPhotopoulos: That would be my answer. You see, Bruce Banner and Alex Mercer are scientists that turned monsters by their own experiments, learning how to love in that state, and being hunted down by the military. The difference is that Alex, well as a human, is evil. Well, he just turned an already deadly virus into 10x deadlier, and when Blackwatch is after him, he unleashes it to make everyone die with him. That would make the Blacklight Virus, like Hulk who is resentful of Bruce, becomes resentful of human Alex when he finds out the truth.
It was made by the same team, their way of doing a sequel to a successful game without having to deal with the fees and restrictions associated with tying the game to a licence. It's on the example list on the spiritual sequel concept page.
I'd say yes. This is really why the comparisons between it and inFamous are flawed. inFamous is a Spider-man but not game, Prototype is a Hulk but not game. They're definitely both super-power games, but don't really play alike.

I completely agree. The way you travel through the city's in both games are different because of the different type of power and destruction each character can make. Alex is evil and more destructive so he can climb up anything and bulldoze through crowds and Cole is a bit more heroic so he climbs on buildings so as not to disrupt the innocent civilians.

I also think this is where the extreme hatred to this game spawns from since there was a war between Prototype and InFamous for some reason. I thought the game was fun enough because of its destruction despite its many flaws. It is a run around and fuck shit up game not a story based game or a fun traversal game like InFamous which a lot of people tend to compare it to (inaccurately) quality wise.
