- CanadianCheese, on 06/24/2009, -18/+204Keep him exactly at zero.
- DanteDefiance, on 06/24/2009, -8/+169I'm astonished at just how much fun I'm having with Prototype despite all it's flaws.
It's not the prettiest game, the story is a bit bland, the characters a bit wooden, the controls can be a tad overwhelming at times, but damn it this is hands down the most FUN I've had playing a video game all year.
And that my friends is what playing video games is all about: FUN.
I truly hope Prototype get huge sales because while it's not as technically sound as inFamous, it's (in my opinion) a hell of lot more fun. - Shreder1, on 06/24/2009, -4/+160Why does no one point out that in Prototype you can run faster than a car, jump 10x higher than a normal human, run straight up or along walls, and fly in midair but if you aren't discovered beating up on someone no one gives a *****?
My favorite part is when I am jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper gliding along and military helicopters see me, the game acknowledges that they see me, and yet they just don't give a *****. They must be busy with some other genetically modified super-human weapon that as long as I am not killing anything they can't be bothered. - djnforce9, on 06/24/2009, -3/+94I like how he addresses the endless comparisons people have been making between ProtoType and inFamous and he does nail a lot of key points dead on. In my case, Prototype is my only option because inFamous was never released for PC.
- OmegaOdy, on 06/24/2009, -0/+71It's like when you're inside a base and consume Lt. John Doe, jump 50 feet into the air and glide to the other side of the room, but these people who've been working with him for who knows how long don't find his new-found powers a bit suspicious.
You think about it for 5 seconds, and then go back to destroying everything because it's just fun. - spvn, on 06/24/2009, -8/+77I've tried both games, and Infamous wins Prototype hands down at every single thing: graphics, story, design, etc...
Except for one thing: Gameplay.
Ok so not completely gameplay per se, but I'll be damned if Alex's (Prototype's main character) abilities doesn't surpass that of ANY playable super-human charcter in recent gaming history. You just hold down one button, push forward, and just watch him leap over cars, run up buildings. Hit a few more buttons and he's dashing through the air, gliding from one building to the next. Then another button makes him pick up and throw huge objects like paper balls.
Like a comment stated above, Prototype is nothing but FUN. Pure. Mindless. Fun.
But of course, when I say it's NOTHING but fun, I do literally mean it. The rest of the game is pretty damn bad... - jeremymccurdy, on 06/24/2009, -3/+70This is pretty much all you need to see to know that Prototype is ***** awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n_5pSWoogI - senae, on 06/24/2009, -0/+48You mean the difficulty I couldn't start the game on? Gee, thanks.
- rooeeez, on 06/24/2009, -2/+46i always air drum to the intro music.
- spvn, on 06/24/2009, -2/+40If you work for sucker punch, send it in to him now! You'd win!
If you don't work for sucker punch, you just have way too much time on your hands... - vinceislegend, on 06/24/2009, -0/+31I considered that for a moment, but then I realized the alternative. Do you really want to have to walk around that huge city? I see no reason to sacrifice half the fun of the game for the sake of realism.
- theragu40, on 06/24/2009, -1/+32I'm glad to hear a real person saying it's good. Reviews have been decent...and honestly watching the ZP reviews for both this game and infamous makes me want to play both of them quite a lot. Maybe I'll pick it up.
- y0urcl0ne, on 06/24/2009, -7/+38Prototype is ***** FUN.
- jcpudd, on 06/24/2009, -3/+32I can't believe you just tried to Rick Roll people. What next, a not joke?
- OptionalPirate, on 06/24/2009, -0/+26This suit is black.
NOT - kinseyincanada, on 06/24/2009, -0/+25in prototype i dropped kicked a helicopter into another helicopter.............. it was awesome
- TheUngod, on 06/24/2009, -2/+25Agreed. The controls are indeed awful, but the game is massive fun. It's just really obnoxious when you run under a building with an overhang and you keep running in a loop.
- Crazymaniacc, on 06/24/2009, -2/+24"Marry me"
- scojac, on 06/24/2009, -0/+22Wow. Not quite sure what happened above me there, but it's inventive in a retarded way.
- stickypenguin, on 06/24/2009, -1/+23"while Alex can shoot blood out of his wrists at jet engine velocity and fly like emo peter pan"
- jeremymccurdy, on 06/24/2009, -2/+23Gameplay is all that really counts in the end, you can have mediocre graphics and a ***** story if the game is ridiculously fun to play. And Prototype is.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 06/24/2009, -1/+20Grammar wins you
- REV0R, on 06/24/2009, -0/+18Dugg for Arrested Development.
- n4tune8, on 06/24/2009, -0/+18and spelling dies a little...
- insertAliasHere, on 06/24/2009, -0/+17If you only buy games with Yahtzee's seal of approval, you're going to have a very small library.
- Vulphaestion, on 06/24/2009, -9/+26That article was full of *****.
- Cheesepuffly, on 06/24/2009, -1/+17We should, but were not.
- ookamiwarrior, on 06/24/2009, -6/+22You are so ***** stupid. Get over the old meme.
It's like my parents who still use the internet to FWD: a bunch of "funny" jokes and pictures to everyone. Like it's 1990 outside and we all still watch Pokémon after school. - inactive, on 06/24/2009, -3/+18Play on hard, and it's like the stupid A.I. suddenly start to wake up.
- CrazyEddie041, on 06/25/2009, -0/+13Think whiny thoughts!
- J3553, on 06/24/2009, -32/+45i liked this comparison better....
http://www.destructoid.com/how-prototype-is-blatan ... - CrazyChair, on 06/25/2009, -3/+16Prototype should get an extra point for not being an exclusive title.
- bennison, on 06/24/2009, -0/+13Those seem to happen at the most inopportune moments.
- clip9, on 06/24/2009, -1/+14What? Prototype doesn't have any moral choice system.
Kill everybody and your golden. - spvn, on 06/24/2009, -2/+14"This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions."
Even if you wanna rick roll people, at least try using a link that people can actually watch. kthxbai. - Soleanthia, on 06/24/2009, -3/+14*goes to get a shovel*
- renegadeafk, on 06/24/2009, -0/+11yeah vince is right, sometimes gameplay needs to come before realism (and its not like the games premise is even slightly realistic)
If they were alerted every time they saw you jumping it would suck, your like one of those people who watches a completely unrealistic fantasy movie with a crazy plot or magic or w/e and goes "OMG THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD SURVIVE THAT FALL SO UNREALISTIC" lol. - NinjaGod, on 06/25/2009, -5/+16I.... love kitties.....
- wTheOnew, on 06/24/2009, -0/+11That's kind of the point. Most game reviewers just get on their knees and suck the game developers' *****. There are way too many 8+/10 games out there that are terrible and a lot fo 10/10 games that are good at best.
- Funkleft, on 06/24/2009, -0/+11It seemed to me that he was simply mad at the idea that in any moral choice game your choices are so absurdly unrealistic and heavily contrasted that they're just cartoonish. If he's anything like me he probably enjoys the ability to make story choices, but wishes they were slightly more substantial.
- Cheesepuffly, on 06/24/2009, -3/+14like ur mom
- Talphin, on 06/24/2009, -2/+13I hate kitties. Buried.
- rocknog, on 06/24/2009, -2/+12You know, now that he put the idea in my head, I really want to see Mr. Bean go on a killing spree.
- phennessey, on 06/24/2009, -1/+11inFAMOUS is the better game design, graphics, presentation and environment wise. But Prototype is much more fun to play. I was really annoyed by the ways you get around the city in infamous - sliding around on rails and power lines is great, but the crappy building crawling and slow movement really brought things to a halt. In
In Prototype, you can hall ball's around the, run up and across buildings, steal vehicles and cause a ***** ton of destruction along the way.
Someone else compared it to Spider-Man:Web of Shadows. And I agree, because that game and even the other Spider-Man games are still a lot of fun.
Masterpiece? No. A lot of mindless fun? Hell Yes! - AdmiralJimbob, on 06/24/2009, -0/+10You get used to overlooking wacky things in New York, remember.
- Carrie76, on 06/24/2009, -4/+14Don't forget the fact that you can kick said helicopters out of the sky with a few swift kicks. This game caused thrown controllers in our house and I know in a few others too. I rather liked inFamous myself. It reminded me of Crackdown.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -2/+11Prototype feels like all the breaks have been taken off.
Go anywhere, you own every surface of every object.
Use everything - there is nothing that belongs only to your enemies, or even the environment for that matter. Solders guns, rocket lauchers, tanks, helicopters, cars, or anything that sticks off of a building is yours to play with.
Blow up any frakking thing you want - Zombies, they are your enemies, the military - also your enemies, civilians? Well, you're not human anymore so eating them for health is as morally questionable as Mario eating a mushroom.
Pure, fun with no nagging! - oehmer08, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9:,( Why do you have to resort to name calling?
