Prototype 2

First topic message reminder :

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

Who is next after me in the list for this?

I don't think anyone is officially Tenners.

Well I've finished this now, so if anyone wants it next let me know!

Great Review bud!

I also thought this game was great, more so than the first 1. First one's achievos seem impossible but I'll get there someday!

Anyway this is a game I've also maxed and is now sitting collecting dust, anybody wants to trade/buy give me a shout.

This is a great game and have finally played through the game. i just need my hard playthrough finished and then thats me.

I would reccomend anyone that has not played this pick it up as it is great   

I know lol

been eyeing this for a while, loved the first 1 and have been making my way through the infamous games on playstation. it was cheap in the sale last week, i'll have to see if its still on there.
