   This game is fantastic. However, definitely for the hardcore gamer. There is so much to do control wise, chaining everything together, that when you really have it down and the combat flows...wow, just amazing. So Much Fun. But, if you are not "good at gaming" you will likely become frustrated.… Expand

   Here's the thing about the graphics - they have almost no effect on the gameplay. And this is the story with 90% of all graphics complaints about games. If I wanted fantastic graphics, I'd just look at screen shots. But unless they affect the gameplay, I don't care. What I want is a fun game, and Prototype is that. Who cares about bland building when you can run up all of them and fly over them? My only complaints are the somewhat flunky controls and the pretty worthless targeting system. But the game is about insane, comic-book style combat, and it is a blast.… Expand

   Fun, chaotic sandbox gameplay, but with so much going on at a time, the lacking controls can make it at times frustrating to do what you intend to do.… Expand

   1) Graphics - This has been a pretty big annoyance for me so far. They're a bit too washed out, I'm not sure if this is because they may have just built on the engine they used for Incredible Hulk. The cityscape is pretty bland and there's also texture pop-ins. When I'm standing on top of the empire state building and look below, the city completely greys out and all I can see is silhouettes. 2) Controls - Super janky. It's difficult to keep the character going in the direction I want, especially when I'm running around city streets and on top of buildings. You have the ability to run up any building you want, you can also climb but that function is so busted I don't even know why Radical even added that in. They make no mention of the fact that you can climb and I think it's because they knew it was a useless function. A tell-tale sign that this game was rushed out the door. They've got time trials similar to rootop races in Crackdown but I found it next to impossible to finish them in time because the chracter is jumping all over the place. 3) Powers - You're able to purchase different powers whenever you want using experience points you gain by killing enimies, collecting XP orbs scattered throughout the city. I managed to get a crapload of them after just 2 hours which for me, leaves little incentive to continue playing if my character is completely maxed before I've completed 25%. Well that's impression anyways, there may be cooler powers to have down the line but it doesn't seem that it would be too difficult to get them. inFamous' method was way better where you actually had to complete missions in order to achieve powerups. There isn't a lack of powers in Prototype, which is cool but you're gonna have to learn button combos to use them effectively. Situations like that I tend to forget which powers I have and never end up using 4) Story - I really could give a crap about whats happening when I'm playing a sandbox game like Prototype. Crackdown did a great job of giving a basic premise without forcing you to pay attention to whats going on. In Prototype you actually have to collect clues about how you became infected by tracking down key NPC's and putting the story together using the 'web of intrigue' feature, which is just stupid.… Expand
