Prototype (2009)

mayhem gets boring after an hour of play

User Rating: 6.5 | Prototype (2009) PC

The hero/anti-hero is a way too powerful for this game to be interesting for more than an hour. The thing is too easy. It gets more difficult as you go on but also your powers increase. Don't know, this game is a child's play. Maybe it's more intense for people who play consoles, but for a good PC gamer, except for some noobs, this will be very boring in terms of challenge. Sound is terrible, graphics barely above mediocre. Gameplay gets old quickly. Sure, the unchallenged slash and burn is lots of fun, but it gets old quickly.

graphics at the highest setting = 7/10
sound = 5/10
game play = 6.5/10
story = 8/10
multiplayer = no
value/replayability = 6/10

An overrated game for sure with some fun moments. Hunting down Alex could be more fun and challenge. Hopefully, the sequel will be better. Prototype as it is, is a good base for an amazing game.

  First off, yes there is that silly Infamous vs Prototype fanboy war, yadda yadda. But rest assured, because this review leaves all that bias behind: in other words, I am rating purely from my honest opinions, unaffected ... Read Full Review
