i played for the xbox 360. this is my first review so there might errors. summary: well in this game. you play Alex mercer codename Zeus. a human being who has been injected with a virus which infected another town Hope Idaho and at HI, the military bombed it to shut out the virus. takes place in New York. instead of being infested by the virus, he merges and becomes an unstoppable brute on a destructive path to find out who turned him into what he is and why. presentation: 9/10 the game quite surprised me, very surprising from start to finish. if you decide to skip the scenes you'll totally end up confused. you begin with Mercer showing off his abilities as he is being chased by Hunters (zombie-like creatures) and the military. when you begin playing. you face the thought of. what the heck, this guy is so freaken strong, kills everything in a couple of hits, but soon after you find that the beginning part is where you have every ability you can unlock later because when the actual game begins, that's when he looks back at the beginning of the outbreak and you have no blade/giant fist/ etc.. just superhuman abilities. graphics - 8/10 well the graphics are good. 3D like most other games. between switching abilities, you do see some bad parts but all in all, the graphics are good. considering i play on a non HDTV sound - 8/10 playing this game without sounds is alright. its not like in other games where you hear music (vocals) , or you hear background music (no vocals). you'll either hear gunfire, cannons, helicopters, radars, screaming citizens, the noise zombies make, etc. they are good but like i said playing without sounds doesn't change much. gameplay - 10/10 goods and bads to the gameplay goods - can ride tanks can ride helicopters can glide for a limited time also air dashing climb walls, pick up cars high air jump variety of regular moves you can learn several abilities you get 3 ability types to choose to use at any time, 4 abilities always but the fourth is not helpful in combat combat abilities long arm - your right arm becomes a hook like shape, it stretches a long distance to grab people, cars, helicopters, faster then hammerfist but slower then regular hit hammerfist - pretty obvious what it is, arms become massive rock shape, very powerful but slow claws - quick and fast, a little weak, unleash spikes from beneath the ground musclemass - regular hits and throwing objects becomes 2x/3x stronger blade - right arm becomes a sword like thing. the best ability in my opinion. faster then the hammerfist/musclemass/longarm but tad bit weaker then hammerfist defense abilities shield - you gain a shield on your arm. you can run into people. blast them away. blast civilian cars (little cars) away. reduces little damage. armor/armour - reduces moderate -great damage, you simply push people and objects away, you are however heavy, so no gliding and your jump height is decreased. radar abilities thermo senses - detect enemies, see through smoke infected senses - see infected bodies your fourth ability is disguise. you change into whatever human you absorbed last. in the game. to heal, other then getting the healing items, you absorb humans and zombies and you have devastator attacks - they are like limit breaks/overdrives from final fantasy. very powerful attacks only able to be used at a certain condition. there are others but that's the gist of it. bads - cannot be disguised with shield all the abilities have negatives but that's in every game no swimming. easily wanted by military if you jump off high building and land. your simply too powerful in the game. there's a freeplay mode. but with all that power and nothing to equal you. freeplay is pointless. most of the abilities you have to buy ( you unlock after missions then buy with points) some missions are irritating due to lack of checkpoints replayability - 8/10. there's a replay mode and a regular continued mode after beat the game. you can either choose to start over and all your skills/abilities will be transferred over so you begin with all things you unlocked available or you can continue your save data. some minor side quests. total score - 43/50 great game all in all. powerful. do alot of stuff. but your simply a brute on the path of destruction. despite you being powerful. it does get annoying later on as it gets hard like in most games but it still turns out not too hard. this game is worth playing. if you like GTA (grand theft auto) then I'm sure you'll like this game. there is however one major thing that disappointed me but that will be spoiling and revealing too much so i will keep that to myself. if you do however want to know. feel free to pm me.
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj I thought it was Assassin Creed.. Anyway, Nice Review!! and...maybe you can improve it more..
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj thanx. well i thought i went a bit too descriptive on the gameply spoiling some parts. improvements... not sure how.. suggestions are welcomed.
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj How about bold some of the text? I get confused when I was reading it... and structured your text more..
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj oh. sometimes it just goes towards that due to texting and im chat.
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj I saw the scores right after your summary and I was like no...not another one, but then I saw more text after the scores so that's good. The whole noncapitalization thing is bugging the hell out of me. Also, what system did you play this on? You have a PC boxart, and two tags in your title. Put the one that you played it on. Not all versions are exactly the same for most games.
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj structure? oh about that. i couldn't find a 360 boxart when i looked and i saw that so i left it at that. i played it on the 360. don't the rules state to list it if its for multiple systems? well i can't say my version is the actual version. its the 360 iso files aka burned game.
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj The tags [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj should only have the one that you played it on. My point was that a game may not play the same from console to console. Test Drive Unlimited plays differently on the PSP and the PS2 from the X360 and PC versions. Diddy Kong Racing for the DS is much different than the one for the N64. (which I don't like) And if it was required to list all systems it is available on, then games like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be completely cluttered like [PS3] [X360] [Wii] [PSP] [NDS] so no, listing all of them as tags is not necessary. Also, put all of your Presentation, Graphics, Sound, Gameplay stuff altogether in one spot, and put your Good/Bad list in another spot. I also noticed you only have 2 screens, or 1 screen and 1 boxart. Can I get a gameplay shot? or a few showing off different stuff?
Re: [PS3] [X360] Prototype - krazyyaj gameplay shots. well i can try to search for it since i play on the 360. yes i know what you mean about the different versions. in several pictures he has different outfits on while fighting, i saw him in a parka in one pic, and just a white hoody in other. not sure if you played the game yourself but. despite the fact that he can absorb people and change into them, while using his other abilities (longarm,hammerfist,blade,etc.) he will change back into his regular form, black/white hoody. i will try to fix it when i have the time. as of right now. i'm working on another review.
