Review for Prototype

Alex mercers hard as nails but can the same be said for the game?

When prototype starts to play it looks and feels like the old spiderman movie games although noticebly different it plays the same with a similar formula but it has flaws...

You can abuse the exp system without even knowing and sometime can never learn a skill, during my runthrough I got all upgrades but my unnatural evolution achievement didnt show or pop up.

Next theres the jumping problems if Alex jumps too high into the air he freezes for a horrible 13 minutes afterwhich the game crashes.

Also while using the disguise system the stupid thing is if you run up a wall or glide in front of a soldier they don't do jack but if you stay too close too them for long enough they alert the militairy.

The game has a well thought out plot, with plenty of twists and challenges to get your head round, once your finished the game you can do mini-games and find collectibles, the size of new york is amazing with Alex's speed you go round the whole city in a matter of minutes, there is never a limit in prototype, the web of intruge will keep anyone playing to find out about Alex and his foes past, the consume system is so wonderfully gory that it makes manhunt look like the smurfs.

Alex has plenty of powers at his disposal making him able to take down 12 tanks in 30 seconds even helicopters don't stand a chance, the most favoured power is armour and the blade arm able to cut through tanks in one hit.

Alex is the most badass anti-hero out there 8/10
