Prototype 2 Review

Absolutely fantastic game. Playing on intel/nvidia, have had absolutely zero problems.

As to the gameplay itself, it kind of feels like I’m playing an amoral amalgamation of a bunch of the Marvel superheroes. I’ve got the claws of Wolverine, the ability to knock people around like Magneto, the ability to shapeshift like Mystique, plus a variety of other things.

Just running around the city is a freaking joy, to be honest. You run straight up buildings, glide through the air, jump crazy distances, pounce on enemies or poor random citizens as you please, etc. It feels like Spiderman without any sort of web-swinging restrictions, or Batman without any sort of grappling restrictions.

To be clear, it’s not a superhero game — but it sure does feel more like one than any game I’ve played that actually features superheroes. Then again, I’d classify the main character as “mostly a villain, despite doing things that help the greater good.” My guy isn’t concerned with saving random citizens from battles that break out; he actually freaking EATS them to regain health. Or to shapeshift into their form and escape detection.

Basically nobody in this game is a good person at all, and I don’t particularly have a problem with that. Even the random citizens seem to be rude at best.

Ultimately this boils down to a power-trip sort of game, with a good amount of challenge despite always making you feel incredibly badass. That’s hard to pull off, but this is done super well.

Verdict: I would buy a sequel, no questions. This game is absolutely worth full price.
