There are many abilities that you can get in the game and I know that some people say that the whole weapon wheel or upgrade system in the game is a little bit over the top, but I do not think that is the case, Prototype just has a lot of stuff for you to work towards and that kept me wanting to play the game.īefore The Anti Third-person brigade pickets our offices, let's be fair about this: Prototype does actually do a lot of things right. First, you can get your health back, but more importantly, you can shapeshift and take on the abilities of that person which can help you blend in. You can “absorb” enemies in this game and this has two things. He has a bit of hack and slash thing about it, but it is his special abilities that really make him a great deal of fun to play as. To start with he has super strength and you can pretty much destroy a regular person with one hit. I do not want to spoil what the deal with Alex’s past is, but he is a fantastic character to play as. Many people will probably be surprised at just how much content is on offer in Prototype. There are also plenty of other things to keep you busy too with races on rooftops, rampages in the city, and a bunch of side missions that you can partake in too. This is your typical sandbox style of game where you have your main missions that you need to complete and these will be what move the story along and ultimately get you closer to the end. It is great stuff and it is like you are taking part in a sci-fi action movie and that is cool. There is also a zombie outbreak taking over the city so you do also have to contend with that as well. Oh, there is one other important thing I have to talk about and that is while all of this is going down. Basically, we play as Alex and Alex awakens in a morgue and he has no idea how he got there so he sets off on a mission to find out who or what he is and how he ended up in this position. I am going to try and not to be too detail-heavy here as there is a whole mystery for you to uncover here. If you love action games that feel like you are in a movie, I am sure you will have a lot of fun with this game. It is an open-world action game and a game that I truly enjoyed and have played through multiple times.

I know that some prefer the second or even the third game, but I have always had a real soft spot for this first one. Prototype is one of those games that I loved so much I ended up playing through it on a couple of different formats.
