your thoughts on prototype

[therealanimator]

recently i have rented out prototype for the xbox and well i have to say its impressive. good gameplay good voice acting and the cut scenes are really well animated but the graphics well ng i leave this up to you.

The graphics look like a PS2 game, yeah. Still, it doesn't matter. It's still a very fun game to play. I rented it out a while back - it was pretty fun. Here's a link to some gameplay for anyone that hasn't played it yet :

Well I generally enjoyed Prototype.

The boss fights were pretty weak though, you can cheap most of them with whipfist if you really feel like it...

The whole stealth aspect was cool but sometimes it makes no sense. You fall from 300ft disguised as a marine, landing in the middle of a base and the soldiers are all like "wow, cool, how'd you do that?" then just go on their merry way...

I did like the web of intrigue, but besides that the story was basically "protect your sister and figure out what's going on."

The powers were easily the best aspect of the game, being able to shapeshift on the fly and take on whole armies with any of your abilities was the most enjoying part of the game.

I wish that the concept of destroying bases/hives had more of an impact on the flow of the game.
Knock out a couple military bases early an the infection goes on a rampage, or unofficially side with the military and drive the infection back. This could have incorporated a number of different endings and would have given the game more replay value.

I've been whoring out comic lately, but only because they work. Case in point.

[therealanimator]

the comic is straight to the point. thank you penny arcade...

the game is so addicting to play true the graphics it looks like a ps2 but more importantly the game is so fun to play ,from the point of view the main character is like Carnage from spiderman as you finish a mission in the game you can upgrade your abilities and unlock new fight moves to cause more damage in the city, so from my point of view if I finish playing the game I would'nt mind playing it again.

Extra note: Just want to know what others think ,you think prototype should be a Marvel comic or D.C comic?

All of us are impressed that you uploaded a fucking video.
It'd be nice if you would stop whoring your youtube account.

Probably Marvel, since you already compared Alex to Carnage...

PS2? The graphics are considerably better than that.

to be honest i think its a bit of both. the buildings look impressive but the npcs and the player well..i have seen better..but yeoldesierra is right it does look like graphics you would see on a ps2 game.

voice acting was plain and woody
most cutscenes would involve impossible to hear conversations with 2 people standing around. usually with Alex the tool being that he is just doing everything that everyone tells him to do. he gets betrayed 2 times in this game because of his stupidity.

ignore the media when it says "omg you can elbow drop a tank...WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?" because i want a fixed game. luckily, the game IS fun, but it gets really frustrating later on such as explosions coming from every single direction making you fall and ruining the game play. hijacking vehicles just ruins the speed of the game. seeing the same helicopter animation when you take it over is boring.

air strikes are absolutely dinky there's almost no point using them.

1. You don't need to use air strikes.

2. If you don't want to drive in a vehicle, then just parkour around the city.

3. The moves are awesome and different. I love being able to patsy someone, or just completely destory them using my Critical Pain Devestator.

I played it once, its awesome, Im thinking about buying it.

watch that and see how soooo many elements are identical to prototype, tweak the colours around hulk when he powers up an "overcharge" on the health bar

radical entertainment couldnt be bothered to make a new game and just rehashed/updated a game from 2005

[Dirter]

I thought Prototype was a very good addicting game with numerous amounts of events to do. I give it a 9.5/10.

i think the idea of power suits wouldve been cool like consuming types of npc's wouldve change the look and power of your suit.
