Synopsis

Synopsis
New York Zero is a post-viral wasteland broken up into three distinct districts. The Green Zone is heavily militarized. The Yellow Zone is an overcrowded refugee camp, nothing more than a quarantined shanty town. The war-ravaged nightmare known as the Red Zone is where the Blacklight virus has completely overrun the once-great city's skyscrapers and population. You are Sgt. James Heller, a soldier left to die, distraught husband to a deceased wife and father to a dead son. You are infected. There is one thing left to do — hunt down and kill Alex Mercer.

Become the ultimate shape-shifting weapon in Prototype 2. Cut through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero and build a genetic arsenal of all-new biological weapons and abilities on your quest to murder your maker and the devil himself, Alex Mercer. Witness building-size infected beasts ambush entire city streets. Glide and parkour across the cityscape. Take on swarms of highly trained Blackwatch soldiers. Step into the role of Sgt. James Heller, and hunt, kill and become anybody who stands in your way to absorb memories and gain new abilities. Wield the unbelievable Tendril power that allows you to lift and tear apart cars and military vehicles, ensnare powerful infected beasts and shred groups of enemies to pieces. Track down your enemies by emitting sonar pulses from your body. Choose from a wide variety of new Mutation perks, including better locomotion abilities, sharper claws and enhanced disguise abilities, to build and customize the ultimate Prototype. The virus has left the city in ruins, but it's not going to stop you from achieving your goal. Unleash the true power of the infection raging within you and kill Alex Mercer.

Posted by: from on 05/12/2013The game will keep you entertained initially, but will not have a lot of replay value. But for 10bucks I'm not complaing too much

Posted by: from cali on 05/05/2013Story: Story is not why you play a prototype game, it could easily be Resident Evil done as an open world game. Gentek (Umbrella) created the virus that made Mercer, Heller, and all the "infected". They in turn are supported by Black Watch, a military organization that specializes in putting down biological threats. This game is about revenge! Heller wants to kill Mercer for the death of his wife and daughter. Pretty straight forward. There have been a few twists and turns, a few double crosses. Not too bad, but not too good either. Most the time the story is just a reason for you to go hunt and destroy. That's all it's needed for in a game like prototype.

Fun to play, but something is missing

Posted by: from Chicago, IL on 04/23/2013I played Prototype and enjoyed it... I'm playing Prototype 2 and enjoying it too. However, I can't help but feel like it's lacking in the story department. There's barely anything there, and what IS there, I'm just not that interested in.

Posted by: from Fresno, CA on 04/21/2013Played the first Prototype and loved it. Prototyped 2 continues with the Hero from the first one is the villain which is a cool idea. The new hero in Prototype 2 has awesome powers and a lot stronger.

Posted by: from Sacramento, CA on 04/20/2013I got this game when Best Buy had it on the "deal of the day" sale. The game is pretty fun to play and not too difficult to get the platinum trophy. If you like to hunt for trophies, give it a try!

Enjoyable Sequel
5
Posted by: from Orange County, CA on 04/19/2013Prototype 2 is a huge improvement to the original Prototype in almost every aspect of its predecessor. The graphics are better, the game itself is bigger and longer, and the environment is amazing to look at and play with. An Open World Game, it might remind you of Infamous and Crackdown, as you essentially become an Overpowered Meta Human that could literally crush anyone you come across with, with level/story progression of course. My only grip is the side missions, as it sometimes gets boring and repetitive, but it could easily overlooked if one paid attention and remembered that it's for the character's evolution.
