Cool "powers" but unoriginal story and mindless hack and slash gameplay can only be so entertaining
Prototype
Pros-
#1.Cool "powers"
#2.The ability to steal tanks and go on a rampage
#3.Lots of blood and gore
#4.Hacking people to bits
#5.The ability to look like any human you can grab and consume
#6.Open world
Cons-
#1.Unoriginal story
The Bourne Identity is a 1980 spy fiction thriller novel by Robert Ludlum about a retrograde amnesiac who must discover who he is and why several groups, including an assassin and the CIA, are trying to kill him
There is also a game called Second Sight which came out in 2005 about a guy with amnesia who has psychic powers who has people trying to get him
Then there is Spider Man and GTA.Spider Man is a guy with "powers" in New York.GTA 3 is an open world based on New York
Now I have nothing against the concept of a guy with amnesia.I'm just pointing out the story in Prototype isn't original
#2.The graphics are nothing special
#3.You can only drive tanks but not other cars.This doesn't make sense to me
#4.I couldn't get into the story or care about any characters in it
#5.The atmosphere is always the same
#6.No multiplayer
#7.You have many powers you can get but some of them you will never need
The Bottom Line -
The "powers" are reason enough everyone should buy Prototype.The story didn't do anything for me but hopefully you wont feel the same way.The combat feels more like a hack and slash which is ok but I can only enjoy that for a little bit
Buy Prototype for $10 or less on a steam deal.The "powers" should at the very least get you to say it was worth that.Prototype is the kind of game I enjoy for 15 minutes but then get bored.I just think it needs more depth and variety to be called good or great
My 2 cents
