Prototype 2

Ok so I played this and maxxed it on the 360 and loved it

So I have bought a second hand copy for pissy3 for 4 quid and am loving it again


If you have played Clackdown, Infamous or Prototype 1, then this is more of the same, but what I like about it the most is that your powers are pretty good from the off.

I love these superhuman sandbox titles and being able to leap and fly and run up buildings never gets old

Here you play a gentleman called Heller who has been infected with a virus given to him by the protagonist from the original game.

In order to get the storyline to work they have sort of done a huge U-Turn on why Prototype 1 was the game it was but the stories merge nicely and you don't feel shoehorned into a big bunch of bollox

You have to stop the bad guys and to do this you absorb folks along the way which increases your powers and special abilities.

The similarities to the original Crackdown are there in the set up of the Islands that you play on, but the game mechanics feel more like Infamous, but tbh its all pretty much been done before and you will feel very comfortable playing it even if you have never started one of the aforementioned games

Graphically its very good indeed and quite nasty in places and the video cutscenes and soundbytes scattered through the game are excellent.

Its not a difficult title and whats nice about it is that although there are extra stuff you can get with the Radnet add on, you don't need it to max the game. All the ach/troph are doable and the collects are not onerous, infact its set out perfectly as far and this is concerned

As we go next gen there are some great secondhand deals on brilliant games out there

If you like running up the side of a skyscraper then jumping off the top and gliding onto a motorway before using a superpower to throw 10 lorries into a helicopter full of bad guys and watch it land on a bunch of explosive petrol containers then this is the game for you

If not then my copy of My Hearse and Me 2 is on ebay you saddo

9/10

get it play it max it repeat

Fuck. I want this now. I was gonna overlook it. Bugger off Everton, i have enough stockpile already:D 

I will look and see if I still have my 360 version matey but it might have gone in charidee sale last year

If I still can haz it then I will send it you

its just 15-20 hours to max and all of them fun

Second game is better than first as the collects are not the massive pita they are on p1

If you are getting one of them then play number 2
It even has a video to show you the story of P1 so you don't lose the ambiance lol

Colne...Good news...I haz it and can haz posting it to you today....knock out the 1000 then send it to Waggles old chap

enjoy it mateys



spackhead registered charity since 1987 lol

That's for next year Tricky. Lol.

Awesome Big E. Thanks. I shall get it played asap

Sounds like good advice, I hate playing games out of order, but as there is a recap (and I was going to pass up on the series anyway), seems like playing number 2 only is probably the best bet. Cheers Everton.

Game received. Many thanks Evertonio! I'll start it either Saturday or Sunday and get it sent to Waggles asap. Preferably before i get Forza five!  

Awesome, I@m playing the first again at the moment off and on and loving it. Now cant wait to finish it and get no 2!

You can join the queue and I can send it on to you when I'm done if you want (assuming Everton doesn't mind when he gets it back).

as long as tenners doesn't mind sending it back to me feel free to forward it to him

Finished all bar one trophy on the pissy version yesterday

p2 has a great storyline and once you master the controls its deffo one of the best games on the current gen machines

am now just playing through again on a +playthru and so should have the plat knocked out for my third double max 360pissy3 title

No problem Big E, happily send it back to you. Cheers fella

I'm really enjoying this game! It rocks. After playing this, it's gonna be a right chore travelling around any other sandbox game out there! Lol! Vehicles are for pussies man!!  

This game is the ultimate example of substance over style. Graphics aren't great, Script ain't that brill, missions aren't the most imaginative ever, I feel no affinity to the lead character whatsoever, but what you get is fun. Games should be fun, and this game says "To hell with anything even slightly monotonous"! We want pure, un-adulterated fun!!! Being an un-stoppable power house has never been better!

I'm not saying it should be a ten out of ten game! It has it's flaws, but none of them affect the great times in any way! It sort of reminds me a bit of Splatterhouse in the way the melee system works as well as the other games mentioned, but the camera is actually better than that game probably.

Thank hell, you steered me towards this big E!

well when you get to the latter stages matey you will see the storyline is actually brilliant

I am now just one island away from beating it for the fourth time (2 times on 360 and on second hard run on pissy3) and I still watch all the cut scenes as I love the ambiance of it all

I like Heller too and he has some excellent quips


My only gripe is that the map screen should have the collects as the first menu option rather than map as you only use it for the collects and so its a double click rather than a single, but apart from that its ace

The devastator weapon is immense and when you have fully upgraded the hammerfist you can dive bomb all day long

Glad you are enjoying it and for me its a stand out title

BTW anyone else want to borrow it after tenners then feel free

Ok.Maybe i spoke too soon about the story. I'll look forward to the rest. Not too fond of Heller's dialogue upto now though. Hopefully it'll improve too. I like the cutscenes, they are brill.

Also, I cant believe Heller has yet to get even more powerful! That's mad. He'll be bustin through the telly.

He gets some great powers

And I would recommend you upgrade his speed first until its maxxed and leave the stealth upgrade until last and you don't really need to worry too much about detection if you are nimble

I would also advise that you finish the collects on the islands before you leave each one so you get some of the bonus mutations in place early doors

And at the end remember leaping and hammerfist are your friends!

Yeah! That's the way i went! Speed baby!! Not touched stealth yet. Done all available collects, lairs and black watch missions too for the upgrades.

Currently 39 % in.

There's something very satisfying about infiltrating a complex, strolling outside again and then just launching yourself over the nearest sky scraper to escape!!  

Enjoying it so much he ignores my messages on live

I would never ignore you sweetheart  

Nearly finished this now, so TENNERS if you're listening, PM me your address mate as you are next up. The Waggle-meister has opted out of this on.

when you lot have finished please sell it or trade it for whatever you want

Who is next after me in the list for this?
