Review: Prototype 2

Hey everyone DeathStrike here,

So today I’ll be giving you my review on Prototype 2, the sequel to Activisions Prototype.

Story:

The game takes place shortly after Alex Mercer saves New York from devastation, however New York remains crawling with infected and Alex Mercer… You play as a man named James Heller, seeking revenge on Alex Mercer who killed his family, while at the same time trying to stop Blackwatch and Gentek from causing further damage to the city. Alex Mercer then finds you and infects you with the blacklight virus, giving you the abilities of the “Evolved”  (You know the things that transform their bodies into claws, hammers, tendrils, blades etc.).The Story is exceptionally good, however tends to get repetitive.

Story: 7/10

Graphics:

The graphics for Prototype 2 are extremely well done, the  buildings, the streets, the people are all very well done however there is nothing about the graphics that will truly blow you away.

Graphics: 8/10

Gameplay:

This is a 3^rd person game, you can scale buildings, jump from building to building or glide as far as you can. One of my favourite aspects of the game is the open world map, just being able to run around the city scaring innocent civilians as you transform your arm into a gigantic blade and occasionally throwing a car off a skyscraper into an unsuspecting crowd of victims in a park, the game allows for large amounts of freedom.

Gameplay: 9/10

User-Friendliness:

This games menus system is easy to understand and to the point, there is nothing that will leave you feeling stuck and unsure of what to do. The story and side quests are not complicated to understand.

User-Friendliness: 10/10

Verdict:

I think Prototype 2 is a great game, however its downfall is the same as that of the first one, its too repetitive the story line tends to repeat its self over and over just with different targets this gives the game a lack of depth and often leaving the player feeling bored.

I give this game 75%
