 GeekGirlsOnline Game Review - Prototype trying to protect his sister. The storyline is pretty straight foreward, seeing as I basically explained it just now. Not only do you have to look out for military units having the natural human response of killing anything that looks, but isn't human, as well as killing all those that were also infected, basically both halves of what you seem to be. As you go through the story you get to shapeshift, not only into people you consume, but change your limbs into blades, claws talons (even though most likely you're gonna keep using the extendo arm with a really long distance reach, ability to grab and not to mention LITERALLY being able to cut people in half) and if that doesn't work you can always steal a soldier's weapon and use it, or hijack a tank or a helicopter which you can find practically ANYWHERE in the game.
As well as the killing, Alex goes around eating people and taking their memories to try and piece together what the hell is happening and how he can stop the entire city from being blown to hell by the military, from you being that much of a threat. If running on the streets doesn't work, you can steal a vehicle or run up city buildings or even slit your wrists and glide through the air with your powers. The game all in all, just suped up the guy who doesn't even remember his own past, going around destroying all of manhattan and taking the looks of other people...anyone else see the problem here?
It's a one-track game. There are side missions and everything, but guess what they are mostly about? That's right: KILLING AND/OR CONSUMING!!! Sure, there's the running and jumping and gliding side missions as well, but if you jump and drop from one 200 story building, landing on the street, making a huge crater and destroying everything around you, you've jumped from them all.
I give this game a B+. Great graphics and funny as hell with the many ways to kill, but like I said, a one track game.
