Short,Intense,funny and exciting yet lacking some crucial improvements in core gameplay mechanisms.
The storyline is short,but intense than the first game.Story mode missions seem to be less repetitive than it used to be in the first game.I've finished the entire story mode within 5-7 hours.Like it's own predecessor,prototype 2 has a storyline full of shocking,thrilling,exciting moments with some humour added.The only weaknesses i find in this storyline is it's abnormal short duration and the incomplete ending it had to offer(yeah that means there will be a third installation definitely).
When it comes to gameplay,I didn't observe that much of an improvement,except for the silky smooth movement mechanism and some new moves such as bio bombs,Tendril attacks etc.There seems to be a considerable amount of addition of new characters,especially villains but yet the gameplay seems to be quite easier than it was in the first game.Almost all of the game's combat mechanisms seems to be the exact same as it had been in it's predecessor,I've only observed a few new additions to the combat repertoire.Gameplay upgrades seems to be much linear and quite absurd from what it had been in the first game.Challenges seem to be much easier and repetitive than it used to be in the first game.However the game has some good combat combinations which could be executed easily,The long-chained combos,dual weapon combos,adaptive combat are some of the significant improvements in gameplay I've observed in this game.The controls seem to be a bit messy but can be easily solved.
Graphics are quite good and i can clearly observe a differance.Shading,AA, have improved significantly.The Developers have struck a good balance between quality and performance.
In overall I think this game has made some significant improvements as well as lack some crucial gameplay mechanisms when compared to it's predecessor.most of the lacking mechanisms are combat and movement mechanisms.In my opinion i think that the developers must focus more on improvements on gameplay mechanisms,especially in combat.I'd also expect that they would focus on making a much longer story.
