Review: Alex Mercer is UNSTOPPABLE!! - You know, I have read a lot of reviews about this game, and I thought that I should write one to counter all the inaccurate poor reviews that the "1-star" raters have published. I have been playing video games since NES, then SNES and Sega Genesis, then PS1, PS2 and now...PS3, so I believe that I am qualified to write something about PROTOTYPE. My experience in PS3 gaming is reflected in the likes of Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, GOW Collection, GOW 3, RE 5, Modern Warfare 2....to name a few.... and I must say that Prototype is SUPERB!!!! Prototype may not be a GOTY contender such as Uncharted 2 or GOW 3, but damn....it is still an excellent game in its right. The game is based in New York, and you can literally do ANYTHING you please and go ANYWHERE you want to go. Some say that the storyline is lame and overdone, but I think that the story is cool, with bits and pieces being thrown in during the course of the game. And besides, we all know that biological experimentation is being done in the world today, so the story is not that far-fetched. The character, Alex Mercer, is literally unstoppable as the title implies. Alex is the most powerful character that I have ever controlled. He has strength like the Incredible Hulk, speed like Superman, agility like Spiderman, reflexes like Wolverine, shape-shifting ability like Mystique (X-Men) and more combat moves than all of them combined. That is how I can best describe this hero. He runs up buildings of any size, glides through the air, and kills anyone or anything that gets in his way. If he falls from the top of the empire state building, he will get up, dust off his clothes and continue along his merry way...he's that powerful. Now with all these powers, you must understand that this is a very violent, bloody game with lots of swearing, so kids must be kept away. People always complain that the game is too violent, and that Alex kills innocent people as well. You must understand that Alex is a tortured person, who doesn't like what he is or has become, so he is filled with rage and contempt for everyone. So all those people who think Alex is too violent, you should try to understand the game properly before making such statements. And besides, it's a video game...it is entertainment, and means nothing in real life. In terms of cons, I must say that the graphics could have been a little cleaner. But then again, it is an open world game with perfectly smooth game-play and short load times, so who cares. Remember that games like Uncharted 2 and GOW 3 are games with a specific path, so graphics can be better for them. In conclusion, Prototype is a BRUTAL, SPECTACULAR game that will keep you busy for months. There is a lot to do outside of the missions, and Loads of fun to be had!! YOU MUST GET THIS GAME....ASAP :)
Review: The most fun I've had in years! - Graphics: Let's get one thing out of the way. While the graphics in this game are not bad (A little better than Grand theft auto 4) they don't compare to titles like uncharted or Arkham asylum. And the reasoning behind this is quite simple. A large portion or your PS3's processing power in working in the HUGE environments since you're pretty much free to go wherever (or as high) as you want. Gameplay and Overall feeling of the game: Mind-blowing. Imagine being in a GTA / sandbox type of environment where you can do almost anything. Leap buildings, run across walls, Hijack armored tanks, glide above a massive (very accurate) replica of New York City (Mostly Manhattan) and unleash pain at will when you detect foes below you, I could go on and on. Weary of battle? low in health? help yourself to an innocent bystander and literally suck the life out of them. Possibilities are endless. Oh, and by the way, how do you actually "suck the life" out of them? Well, just the way the T-1000 used to do it in Terminator 2, you can replicate people on contact and become them while sucking their life energy and making it your own in the process. It's a win-win. (Maybe not for the poor basterd you snatch off the street but it works pretty well for everybody else, a.k.a.....You. - In game jargon you're technically "consuming them"). And not only you can alter your appearance to look like your victims with the push of a button. You also own their knowledge. You know everything they knew which slowly but fascinatingly unravels the plot of the game via the "web of intrigue": A living organic map that connects your victims with each other, with special emphasis on the characters that have knowledge of the mystery behind your powers and maps their previous interactions with each other before their met their doom at your hands. So, when military choppers with enough firepower to start world war 3 come after you, they quickly realize that's not such a good idea, when you catapult yourself into the air, storm the cockpit and do to the pilots things that one day you'll tell your therapist about. And guess what: you just "consumed" a military chopper pilot along with all his life memories including his ability to fly military choppers which is now.......yours. Without even landing it, guess who is flying the chopper now! (Just the way trinity used to do it in "The Matrix" but with LOTS more blood involved). Becoming people is just so much fun I found myself spending hours just infiltrating military bases, and consuming weapons specialists, fighter pilots etc. And the more you do that, the more your skills in that particular discipline are refined. I had a blast while being chased through the city by military squads just to turn around the corner, push a button, become one of them and seeing them run right past me and then get all confused. It would be right there and then when I would resort to one of several methods: 1. Use the Assault rifle now in my hands (comes with the body of the poor soul you just consumed) and shoot everybody in the back while laughing like a maniac. 2. One of my favorites, with a simple button command ACCUSE one of the soldiers of being ME in disguise resulting in the rest of the team shooting him, execution style, no questions asked. HILARIOUS. or 3, reveal my true self and impale everyone in the vicinity with lethal spikes, blades, claws or whichever one of my mutant virus obtained powers I fancy at the time, just to see everybody scream for their lives in despair. Most people compare this game to InFamous, which was released about at the same time and to my surprise is rated higher. I also own InFamous. I played InFamous for about 2 hours and it was OK. Both games are indeed very similar in it's concept but in my opinion Prototype is vastly superior. The InFamous guy was really slow. He climbs buildings and runs at human speed. The Prototype guy leaps buildings, glides to the point of almost-fly and runs at superhuman speed. Playing InFamous, was OK, but at times it felt a bit like a chore. Like I had to play through an annoying not really fun part, just to get to the fun parts people raves about on the web. Playing Prototype was an absolute blast of non-stop fun which I wasn't able to put down since the first minute I played.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by ゆ***き on September 25, 2013*

【良い点】 ・街中を車よりも速く走り回り、高層ビルを縦に駆け上がり、大ジャンプして空を飛んで、ムササビのようにビルからビルへ飛び回れます。移動がほんと簡単で爽快で気持ち良いです。 ・100階ほど有るビルの頂上から道路に向かってダイブする事が出来ます。しかもダメージを受ける事が無いです。ビルから落ちる気持ちよさは、他のゲームでは味わう事が出来ないと思います。 ・アクションが爽快です。主人公の腕をハンマーやブレイドやムチなどの武器にに切り替えて敵をバッサリと倒す爽快感がとても気持ちが良いです。 ・主人公をアップグレードすれば高くジャンプ出来たり、より速く移動出来ます。そして、武器もアップグレードして、車や瓦礫を持ち上げて敵に投げつけたり、空からブレイドで敵を一撃で倒したり、超人気分を味わう事が出来ます。 ・街中を歩いてる一般人や軍人を捕食して擬態する事が出来ます。そして捕食すると体力が回復します。今までゲームで味わったことのない遊びが出来ます。 【悪い点】 ・普通でクリアーしましたがボス戦が難しかった。少しバランスが悪い。ボスが硬いです。40分くらいかかりました。 ・〇ボタンキャンセルなので快適性が少し悪い ・全体的に単調です。基本的メインミッションが敵を倒す事が多いので単調に感じる方も居ると思います。逆に言えば、敵を倒すことに集中できますが・・・ ・ロックオンが悪い、一番最初にロックオンする時、目立つ敵に自動的にロックオンになるため、自分がロックオンしたい的にロックオンできなかったりします。（ロックオンは切り替えられます） ・敵に正体がばれると敵が攻撃してくるのですが、序盤は攻撃が緩いですが、終盤になると敵の攻撃がきついです。ミサイルや戦車など、次から次へと増援が来て大変でした。 【快適性と難易度】 ・難易度は3段階あります。私は普通でクリアーしましたが、難しいミッションもありました。少し難易度のバランスが悪いと感じました。 ・ロードは有りますが、気にならないです。最初ゲーム始めるまで10秒〜15秒くらいロードが有りますが、他はミッション始まる前とムービーの始まり終わりが3秒〜5秒ほど。回数は少ないです。 ・〇ボタンがキャンセルで、×ボタンが決定なので、少し戸惑います。 【感想】 私は英語が分からなかったので、和訳された動画やサイトを見て、ストーリーを把握しました。自分から積極的にストーリーを調べないと話についていけないです。ゲームは面白いので、是非ストーリーを把握しながら進めて下さい。ゲームに対する没入感が違います。 動画やサイトを見ながら遊び、メインミッションだけを遊めて10時間ほどでクリアーしました。私はこれくらいでちょうど良いと思いました。サブミッションも有るのでボリューム不足の心配も有りません。 グレードアップすると様々な技や武器を切り替えて、超人のように立ち回れます。 映画やアニメなので超人な能力を手に入れた主人公が、最初上手く自分の能力を使いこなせなくて、そこらじゅうにぶつかったり、物を壊してしまったシーンを見たことないだろうか？その感覚をこのゲームなら味わう事が出来ます。最初は上手く使いこなせない技もストーリーを進めるにつれて上手く使いこなせてきます。使いこなせると超人になった気分を味わえます。 一般人や敵を捕食したり、ビルを縦に駆け上がり、自分の腕を武器に変えて敵を一撃で倒したり、自分の腕をムチに変形させてから、伸ばしてヘリコプターをハイジャックしたりと他のアクションゲームには無いアクションがこのゲームにはたくさん詰まっています。 ゲーム好きな人がこのゲームを遊ばないのはもったいないと思います。それくらいお勧めできるゲームです。 アクションゲームの新しいアクションを私に提供してくれた最高のゲームです。
