GameSpot: Prototype Review

GameSpot writes: "That's a word that can be used to describe almost every aspect of Prototype, and although there's no multiplayer component, you're free to remain in Manhattan long after you've beaten the story or, if you prefer, go through it a second time while retaining all of the powers that you already unlocked. Prototype is good enough that you'll almost certainly want to keep playing either way, and even if you don't, there's more than enough fun to be had here in a single play through for us to recommend the game without hesitation".

Just to be mean to the Bottys..

blitz06235433d ago

well the truth hurts. inFAMOUS is the better game. of course, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. gamesites just like infamous more

ptotoy5433d ago (Edited 5433d ago )

but xbots will insist that prototype is better than infamous..

anyway, prototype is just like hulk ultimate destruction, which got similar scores

cryymoar5433d ago

"buu bu but inFamous didnt sell 1 million in one day so teh game isn't good."

averages:
Infamous: 8.6
Prototype: 8.0

AND right now, Prototype has pretty much only the reviews of the big journalists, unlike how inFamous is full of the fanboy blogs.

pwnsause5433d ago

well, it looks like gamespot likes it.

Darkeyes5433d ago

Man the reviews don't have any consistency. I just want a bloody demo to know if I should buy this or go with RFG. IGN gives it 7.5 and now GS gives it 8.5 which is not bad. The main problem I have with this one is that after playing Infamous, this might seem bad to me. This is where a demo is so useful.

Guess will have a safer bet and will go with RFG.

zoneofenders5433d ago

if you have already played infamous, you really should not buy this.
rent it first. if you REALLY dig it(which i doubt), then buy it.

DARK WITNESS5433d ago

well it really depends how you got on with InFamous.

I got InFamous and after playing a fair bit i traded it in for RFG which i am enjoying more.

I don't know what to make of prototype with all the reviews from both users and the press. The one thing that seems to be clear is that its one of those games you will love or hate.

I am going to pick it up because i am going on my own gut feeling that its a game i will like, but if it turns out not to be i will just take it back for a credit note.

i think with a game like this its just best you try it for yourself. A lot of people were talking crap about RFG but in my opinion its a really good game and a game i am going to keep.

just rent it or buy it and if you don't like it trade it.

StanLee5433d ago

Reviews for this game has been all over the place. I'm enjoying to be honest. Open world games have a tendency to become repetitive but really, I'm surprised at some of the low scores it's received. It really is a standout title.

Old_Boss5433d ago

which we don't seem to be geting that much
but still infamus is still very fun too
so i don't know if i'll get this too

Mr_Controversy5433d ago

I laugh at all the noobs who said this game would be too easy! LMFAO! Prototype > InFAMOUS. Infamous sucks, a superhero game is only as good as its villain. Unfortunately, Prototype's villain is far superior to that of InFAMOUS. More like InFAMINE.

I've already platinum both games.

Erotic Sheep5433d ago

And I laugh at you for thinking your opinion is a fact. I deeply disagree with you, I believe the complete package inFamous offers from story, gameplay, graphics, replay value and controls are far superior to Prototype's package.

And dont tell me Prototype's story is better :|

tiamat55433d ago

Hmmm. Thought for sure Gamespot would hate it. I don't know what to think some sites give it average scores some give it high reviews, some say it a piece of crap.These reviews are to schizophrenic. I just won't buy it. Need to save my money for Bayonetta, Fat Princess and Batman AA. No time to take chances with a game from a company that have made less then stellar games in the past

DaTruth5433d ago

No videos, no demo, no buy.

steck675433d ago

this game is getting some mixed reviews. My friend bought the game and hopefully I will get my hands on it tomorrow to see for myself whether if this game is good or not.

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.
