The Gameplay is by far the most entertaining aspect of the game, Both Story and Graphics are Below Average. Its a fun ride for One Playthrough but not for a Platinum Completion.

    Game Length: 6-9 Hours of Story.
    Additional Content and 100% Completion can add another 10-30 hours depending on your Skill.    … Full Review »

    Massively overrated game. Gameplay is uninspired, with a very uninteresting open world game, with very little to do. Combat is prettyMassively overrated game. Gameplay is uninspired, with a very uninteresting open world game, with very little to do. Combat is pretty pathetic. You buy upgrades which are various types of moves or power, but these are easy to obtain, I never ran out of 'cash' in this game. The moves are pretty boring and can't be strung together. The free roaming movement is not particularly fun, it's a poor man's parkour where all you do it hold a button and you can run over and across every surface. The most interesting movement is gliding, but if you've played any Just Cause you'll be dissapointed.
    Melee is fairly rubbish. Health is pretty easy to come by, and any type of enemy above infected human basically has to be avoided until facing away from you, then they're easy to hit. It gets very repetitive.
    Boss fights are extremely un-enjoyable. With heavily unbalanced bosses, that attack 50% health destroying blows in rapid succession. Tank and helicopter control is probably the most fun aspect of the game, but are so massively unecessary for 99% of the game, that there's barely any point them existing.
    There ready is very little to get from this game, after a couple of hours I was begging for it to end. The story is god-awful, the voice acting is atrocious, and the characters are uninteresting.

    I didn't have much expectation for this game, but due to high ratings figured I should try it, but couldn't begin to expect how un-enjoyable this game would be.

    Also I must note that the graphics of this game really don't hold up, the cut scenes are decent, but the actual game graphics are fairly painful to look at for extended periods of time. This game did come out 7 years ago, so I wont dock any marks for the graphics, but have to mention it, especially after playing it on PS4.    … Full Review »

    Playing Prototype for the first time in 2021 really makes it hard for me to enjoy this game the way people enjoyed it back in 2008.

    The    Playing Prototype for the first time in 2021 really makes it hard for me to enjoy this game the way people enjoyed it back in 2008.

    The world and gameplay feel archaic at this point and while I had a few moments of nostalgia-based enjoyment due to the fact I've played similar games back in the day, I really can't say Prototypes' exploration, combat or open-world New York are good.

    The story is painfully edgy and basic. You never connect with Alex as an individual which makes the plot twist feel like a dud. The voice acting ranges from decent to laughable and characters just pop in and out of the story with no explanation.

    While I can sort of accept all the problems due to the games' mindless nature, something I can't forgive is the terrible difficulty spikes. At certain points Prototypes' mechanics just can't keep up with damage coming at you from everywhere and you start getting punished just for playing. The aiming system is terrible and traversal during combat is just a nightmare.

    Prototype could be fun for some people but for most it'll just end up as an hour or two of mindless destruction before getting deleted and forgotten. 5/10    … Full Review »
