GameInformer: Prototype Review

"Alex Mercer is a shape-shifter. He can assume the identity of anyone he kills, turning their bodies to mush and digesting what's left of them through his pores. By tapping into this ungodly power, he can imitate military personnel – a move that grants him the opportunity to lay waste to aircraft before they take to the skies. If he's being chased, he can consume an elderly, arthritic man to blend into New York City's sprawling walk of life. If he is searching for answers, he can digest the brains of someone in the know to view their memories. Alex can become anyone he sees fit, but no matter what skin he hides behind, the person he reminds me of the most is Spider-Man."

This game is getting such odd reviews. Some are praising it, others are trashing it, and reviews like this are labeling it as a definitive "rental"...

Spike475434d ago

and found out how repetitive it was. I think one aspect a game has to have is lasting appeal.

Jinxstar5433d ago (Edited 5433d ago )

I know what you mean. I may pick it up when it drops in price. Same with games like RE5. too many flaws to warrant 65$ imo. Especially with the Burnout add on today =D

A lot of people say "Ignore reviews buy what you want" but you need a good base... I only ever trust Gametrailers and Game informer myself. Everyone else seems bought or Biased. At least GI has a second opinion.

Edit; Totally off topic but I just got my platinum for inFAMOUS today =D

AlienGorilla5433d ago

I gotta agree with this review score along with IGN's, maybe give it an 8/10 tops.

I own both Infamous, and Prototype. I know i shouldn't be bringing up Infamous, but since I'm in the middle of playing that and now playing Prototype and seeing how they are so similar, i can't help it.

My first impressions of Protoype were, "Meh."

After playing it for a few hours, it's actually pretty fun, and i actually enjoy it. It's pretty brutal and the amount of powers and abilities that you are granted is insane.

It's not as polished as Infamous and doesn't feel as tight, especially the controls. They can be a little sloppy sometimes.

The graphics, despite what some are saying, aren't as good as infamous, but when you factor in the amount of pedestrians (A LOT) and carnage going on with out any frame hitches, you can forgive the low res textures and blocky character models. After all, gameplay is more important than graphics.

All in all i seem to agree more with the 7.0-8.0/10 scores for this game.

However, last time i didn't get a game because it didn't get "Rave" Reviews was with Assasins Creed. I ended up picking it up later when it was cheaper, and i loved it. Goes to show that you gotta play a game and make up your mind on how you feel about it.

xionpunk5433d ago

I'd say a 7 is about right. I'm enjoying what I've played so far, but it's not exactly a polished game. I'm happy with it but I think a lot of people expect more out of games these days, especially after Infamous.

JBaby3435433d ago

Both have rated it lower than other sites. That being said I still want to play it and see. Will probably rent it and see how it is.

MEsoJD5433d ago

IGN as the most reliable when it comes to reviews.

They also validated my assumptions of the game.

rucky5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

These are the words that goes to my mind about this game.

"I want to play it but it's not worth $60."

So yeah either rental or the bin for me.

Eiffel5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

Actually I purchased it and I can say its pretty hard. The Missions get even more challenging with each new chapter. I just recently took out five strike team helicopters while fending off six hunters plus destroying checkmark points left by Blackwatch Soldiers all within a time limit.

Despite the graphics Its a good challenging title. Which is all I really ask from a game these days.

josh143995433d ago

i regret buying my copy to be honest. it was rather awesome at first but then it got a bit boring. i just wish i rented it now

Brock Danger5433d ago

I'm starting to feel that way about Red Faction, and I certainly don't need another one of those on my hands with Ghostbusters coming out next week.

Lord_Ranos5433d ago (Edited 5433d ago )

nice pic u have.

Infamous>>>>>P rototype.

Gambit075433d ago

Good & Evil Cole face-off.

fossilfern5433d ago

I think i made the right choice getting infamous instead

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos2d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto2d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger882d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies2d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90825d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming824d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy825d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804825d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75825d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804825d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis825d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop825d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad825d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx825d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581824d ago (Edited 824d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.

Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
