Prototype review

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:33:00 +1200

Occasionally, I review a game without being quite prepared for what it offers. A title, perhaps, that I have overlooked, and not given much regard to.

Prototype is just one such a game, and the full extent of the experience is still sinking in.

Prototype rides on the waves of other titles like Spiderman, inFamous and TV shows like Heroes. The game draws many parallels with these superhero games and shows, both in its gameplay as well as the characters and the storyline. Initially it seemed Prototype would just be more of the same, and the first five minutes nearly put me off, however shortly after I was pulled into the game world only to be spat out about three days later, my palms sweaty and wondering what the hell had just happened.
