OK. To make this short, the game isn't the best game in the world and it dosen't even hit the average game mark. The Burnout series have always been a big deal and this falls miserably.

There was a lot of talk of Infmous and Prototype in a fight for best game and my answer would be Infamous, but Im gonna talk about Prototype's ups and downs.

The fact that you are nearly invincible makes pretty enjoyable but there needs to be more variety in the missions and some of…
