4 1/2 out of 5 stars
Prototype gives you power like never before. Incredible amount of freedom, combos, and non-stop fun gameplay gives this summer action game a high recommendation.
the good-
*the number of upgrades you can get will have you playing for hours trying to get them all.
*multiple shapes you can turn yourself into, and they come with a laundry list of upgrades.
*The campaign, while shorter than I expected, gives you plenty to do after the game is beat.
*Alex is brilliantly animated.
*There was no detection of technicle issues no matter how many things are going on onscreen (and there are a lot).
*Alex will shout out things while you are playing that will give you a rush of the feeling that you are very powerful, and will make you really WANT to kill the target.
*The story draws you in, and dosent get in the way of the action.
the bad-
*graphics, while they arent terrible, arent very good.
*the "open world" isnt very big, more islands would have been awesome.
*At the end of cutscenes Alex will say a horrible, and badly acted line.
*One of the powers Alex gets isnt very useful
