In Prototype, players take control of Alex Mercer – a dark, genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past, hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence as he tears through a densely populated New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity and consuming anything that gets in his way.

‘Deceive or Destroy’ gameplay allows gamers the choice to either blend in with the population and covertly progress through the story, or fully unleash Alex’s powers, and move through New York City like a walking slaughterhouse, taking control of military vehicles, and causing destruction at every turn.

Prototype begins with you playing on the 18th day of your infection. It shows you all the powers that you can/ will posess, and gives you an example of what the game will turn out to be. After you complete the mission you go back to day 1 when you first contracted the infection that makes you a mutated shapeshifter. He meets some interesting people on his way to revenge which you will find quite enjoyable. You can take over people, and see their memories, which is mainly how Alex re-gains his memory, and how he sees the full picture. It is an enjoyable game with some repetition but boy is it fun to tear into everything around you.

Not a MUST buy (if at the $60 price tag) but something that is a solid buy for fans of the genre. It is filled with endless fun in slaying the infected and filled with mini games to flesh out the experience. Most will use a point scale where Prototype will fall at about 8 out of 10. If you can find it for a few bucks cheaper* ($50 or less), then don’t pass this up… otherwise with a $60 price tag… this may be a better rental.

*Toys R Us is offering a $20 Gift Card (while supplies last) when you buy Prototype from them this week.
