This was my first time playing Prototype. I liked it, the story is pretty cool, but it has a lot of flaws. You can give it a pass since it was 2009. I'd really like to see a good quality remake for this game, I believe it would be a huge success.

I first played Prototype when I was probably around 10 years old, and I fell in love with it immediately. At the time, I was just having fun playing as a superpowered grandma or simply roamed around the map mindlessly killing people and doing parkour. And now, I've finally beaten the game and I was amazed how well it stands up to this day. First of all, the game is edgy. Which is cool. You play not only as a...

Pure, unfiltered edgekino. The current gaming industry desperately needs games like this to return.

Nostalgia aside, I'm happy I was able to digest the story now that I've grown enough to understand it. Gameplay was still as fun as I remembered, especially the movement system, and while there are some parts of the game that felt extremely clunky to me, it's an overall enjoyable experience.

Certified hood classic. Short, sweet, action-packed, and decent variety of stuff in it.

Great gameplay with a really crappy camera. It has a great story that makes you feel powerful. besides It´s age feels actual, something that the industry may need at the moment.

It's a great game I picked it up about a week or two ago when I wrote this review, and oh man was it a good week or two. It has a very intricate story, and I like how you have to consume people to find out details from the past. The events were fun great for leveling up of course, but I think my favorite part about the game was that in free roam you could blow up both hives and military bases. The graphics aren't bad...

Man, I remember playing this game for a ridiculous amount of hours at Internet Cafes back in the day. I could literally sit there for hours just doing the missions, running around the city and messing everything up Alex Mercer was such a badass too. I loved the whole concept of his character and being able to consume people, shapeshift, and just go completely crazy with the powers. Coming back to Prototype after...

It works again! They must be tooling up for a remaster, because they quietly released some kind of update that made this game from the 2000s work on modern PCs! I'll tell you this. There is no parkour game like this. Fully upgraded in-game, you have a sense of freedom and movement I've never had in any other game. Play this old (but gold) gem.
