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 villain, but a superpowered one in a world with no superpowers. It's a teenage boy's wet dream really, and it's a great one at that. You have 5 different main powers with dozens of unique abilities, hand-to-hand combat abilities and different weapons and vehicles with upgradable skills. The arsenal is so vast it's kind of mind boogling, not to mention that you can use any of them to complete almost any mission. On the other hand, there are a few missions, plus dozens of side challanges, that will force you to use all of these tools, so they are not going to waste. You will use all of them, as long as you are willing to do the challanges around the map. The movement is also amazing, one of the most satisfying ones I've seen in a game like this. The story is interesting. It definitely kept my attention for the entire game, especially with how almost every single missions was unique and different. There was some overlap, but overall, each story mission felt fresh. Which is not something games like this achieve very often. And the mentioned optional challanges sprinkled between these missions makes it even better. There are like 10 different types of them and with a lot of variation even within the same type of challanges. I also greatly enjoyed how the story was told from fragments of other people's memories, little by little. The progressions is also phenomenal, both in terms of unlocking your abilities and also how the difficulty increases by new enemies, or the map becoming more and more dangerous. I always liked when the map changes as the story goes on in a game, so I especially enjoyed seeing the infection spread in the city, building being destroyed and the military trying to fight it off. I wish I could end this review here, but unfortunately Prototype suffers from some great issues that will make the experience very, very frustrating at times. First of all, while the movement itself is satisfying and amazing, the controls are sometimes horrendous. I can't even count how many times I died or failed a challange because I jumped the wrong direction, grabbed the wrong thing, or simply did something I didn't mean to do. Some of it I can understand, because there are so many abilities, tying them to only a few buttons will result in using the wrong one sometimes. But some is just plainly bad, especially when you would want precise movements in challanges. Second, the game sometimes makes absolutely zero sense. For example, there is a stealth mechanic, which is very cool. But pretty early on, it becomes essentially useless, as the military will gain the ability to detect you anyway. With this, the best tactic to infiltrate a base will be to run in like an idiot, kidnap the commander who you need to gain access, absorb him and lose the military, then run back AS THE COMMANDOR YOU KIDNAPPED 30 SECONDS AGO LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. Like, really? There was no better way to do this? Not only that it makes no sense, the stealth mechanic becomes completely irrelevant at the middle of the game and onwards. I also hate whoever thought the knockback mechanic was a good idea. Despite being the strongest being in the world by far, you will constantly get knocked around and stunlocked by even some of the early enemies. Or even by yourself, as shooting anything within a 10 meter radius with the grenade launcher will cause you to be knocked back. I know it's an explosion, but really? It makes the weapon completely unusable and extremely frustrating when you have to use it in some challanges. As the last thing, I will have to say that despite how varied they are and how much I loved them, there are some serious balance issues in missions and challanges. Some of them will be patheticly easy, while others will be the hardest thing you will ever do in the game for seemingly no reason and also no middle ground. A lot of the challanges will simply become a luck thing, where you pray for enemies to spawn in the right place or it will be impossible to complete them with a high rating. I really cannot fathom that anyone actually played through all of them in testing, because it's so blatantly obvious. Not everything needs to be the same difficulty, but at least they could've tried to keep it reasonable and not be an rng thing. The cutscenes in this game are something out of this world, and I really can't decide if they are the most brilliant things ever or the most pathetic example of cinematic storytelling I've ever heard of. It's very hard to describe, one would have to play the game and experience it for themselves. But a lot of them have no correlation to the actual gameplay before and after them, they end in very awkward spots almost as if they were cut short and the whole thing just feels very amateur and weird. Overall, I can't help but recommend this game. It has some glaring problems, problems that will sometimes make you laugh or scream in anger. But it's not only one of the best edgy power fantasies out there, but it's one of the few examples where they managed to packs so much into a game not only without feeling overwhelming, but actually being purposeful.

I'm living like a landmine Prototype это игра которую люди моего возраста чётко ассоциируют со школьными годами.Когда многие из нас ходили в капюшоне и делали вид какие крутые.Сам я конечно же в неё тогда не играл да и в целом не понимал чего её так любят.Но вот в последнее время обострились слухи о том что будет новая часть или ремейк первой. Сюжет-Алекс Мерсер приходит в себя в морге и понимает что ничего не помнит.А его тело теперь способно менять форму благодаря заражению вирусом Чёрный Свет.Само собой есть правительственный заговор против него лично. Графика-Для 2009 игра конечно выглядит бедно.Модели угловатые а текстуры низкого разрешения.Но при этом открытый мир тут разрушаемый и довольно неплохо реагирует на Алекса и всё что происходит. Звук-Музыки в игре я почти не заметил а вот озвучка отличная.Правда тихая и я не нашёл как это починить. Геймплей-На своё время игра предлагала довольно обширный набор способностей персонажа.Алекс может может их комбинировать и воевать с многочисленными врагами (а их тут всегда много).Плюс тут одна из лучших систем передвижения по миру в играх до сих пор.Плюс город по мере прохождения сюжета меняется,если в начале монстров нет вообще то во под конец только они и будут. Минусы-1)Банально,запустить игру сейчас довольно проблематично.Вернее запустить то можно,но будут большие проблемы с разрешением а главное со звуком. 2)Сюжетно от игры конечно особо не ждёшь.Но она даже свой лор толком не раскрывает.Мерсер же имея крутой визуал не имеет внутреннего стержня (можно натянуть сову что типа он и не человек).Да и с боёвкой есть проблемы,управление перегруженное а запомнить все комбинации почти нереально.Плюс в конце проблемы со спамом жирных врагов. 3)Открытый мир в игре есть и если вы играли в первый Assassin's Creed то пойёте в чём его проблема.Однотипные активности вроде гонок про крышам на время или прыжков в центр круга.В игре про вирус убийцу ага. Итог-Prototype это слепок нулевых.Если вы не играли в него тогда,то вам он скорее всего покажется уже сильно архаичным.С другой же стороны,это игра которая всё ещё пытается просто быть игрой.А не становиться второй работой с многочасовым гриндом.

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.

Prototype - Легендарная игра, помню рубился в детстве в неё, так кайфовал решил снова сыграть в нее спустя много лет, ностальгия и вайб этой игры всё еще присутствуют. Однозначно рекомендую всем пройти эту игрушку
