    This game is AMAZING, one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, the 1st was amazing and the second was even better, i hope they bring out a third, I just hope they don’t destroy it with political correctness and wokeness, I just fear prototype 2 was the last of its kind, developers now are way too scared of race-hustlers and feminists, this game is gory, rude, insulting and brutal, fullThis game is AMAZING, one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, the 1st was amazing and the second was even better, i hope they bring out a third, I just hope they don’t destroy it with political correctness and wokeness, I just fear prototype 2 was the last of its kind, developers now are way too scared of race-hustlers and feminists, this game is gory, rude, insulting and brutal, full of anger and hardcore masculinity, something radical progressives hate, I have a feeling if they made a 3rd they would make the protagonist a woman and a hardcore feminist and Make all the bad evil tyrants middle aged white men with grey hair, ....I gave this game a 9/10 , it would have got 10/10 but I preferred the controls from the 1st game… Expand

    I really wasn't a fan of the first game. I found it massively overrated, with less than great combat/movement, a poor upgrade purchasing system. I found the bosses unbalanced and too difficult (I like challenge but they required a lot of time and attacks that got repetitive and as they could basically kill you in two hits, frustrating). But most importantly I found the story god-awful,I really wasn't a fan of the first game. I found it massively overrated, with less than great combat/movement, a poor upgrade purchasing system. I found the bosses unbalanced and too difficult (I like challenge but they required a lot of time and attacks that got repetitive and as they could basically kill you in two hits, frustrating). But most importantly I found the story god-awful, the voice acting atrocious, and the characters uninteresting.

    I also really didn't like the graphics of P1, so when I started P2 I really didn't expect to like this game much. However, I ended up really liking it a lot. The camera movement was massively improved over the first game, which changed things a lot, combat was a lot more enjoyable, and introduced in a far better way. The story was hundreds of times more interesting, and the characters were actually likeable (they realised no one liked the first game's character so him into the antagonist this time which was quite clever.
    The progression/levelling up system this time around was far more enjoyable and logical. Levelling up as you progress. Weapons taken from enemies after battles. The world (or maps) or this game were far more interesting and realistic than the original game which was effectively a grid, also the addition of waypoints was much needed. I enjoyed the addition of the stealth consume, while it wasn't really a necessity, it added a new element to this game formula.

    Finally I really enjoyed the humour that exists in small part within this game. It made the characters far more relatable and the story more enjoyable.

    My biggest annoyance with this game was that the cutscenes which stylistically were very nice, and actually interesting, unlike Prototype1. Unfortunately they skipped and stuttered constantly throughout the game, without out of sync audio, which was especially annoying as I played the digital version of the game, with no disc. However this didn't effect the game, and I was still able to follow along.

    I can't believe how much I enjoyed this game over the original, the better story, and small improvements over the level design, gameplay mechanics, and the nicer environment really made a huge difference.    … Expand

    Pretty good! Definitely less frustrating than the first game. The combat was quite a bit easier and they don't throw quite as many troops at you. The combat powers are all still there and some are greatly improved. Being able to equip two at a time is a great design choice.

    The shapeshifting mechanic is still done expertly and really sets the game apart from other similar titles. Even    Pretty good! Definitely less frustrating than the first game.

    The shapeshifting mechanic is still done expertly and really sets the game apart from other similar titles. Even just the stealth-ish sections make the game pretty fun.

    I'm not sure that I like James Heller that much, though. He's definitely a rage filled guy but at least his motivations are very clear and understandable. Not to spoil anything, but it did seem like an overall better story that the first game.    … Expand

    The only thing that could've made the PS4 edition of this game better would've been a 60fps framerate. Tons of fun and action-packed carnage, made all the better by NG+ playthroughs on higher difficulties once all abilities are unlocked. It's never particularly challenging but the spectacle and scale of brutality is never a disappointment.
