SO I sat down with the game for about an hour, and so far I'm impressed. I spent most of the year following the development of this and inFAMOUS. I had a good idea what to expect going into it, and I got pretty much exactly what I wanted it to be. An excellent super powered free roam, in a (somewhat) destructible city (What do you expect from the people who brought us Hulk: Ultimate Destruction?) The powers are fairly unique, and the ability to assimilate any character in the game makes for some interesting stealth based game play. I found it interesting that if I went into a military encampment disguised as a fairly hot civilian I can still be shot on sight. The game feels very unique, yet the controls don't that that long to get used to. But I can't feel like I've done something very similar to this just last week, in inFAMOUS.
Both games are pretty similar in their free roam mechanics. Both games are super power themed. Both games give you the option to play as an antihero... though in prototypes case it's pretty much the only way. While inFAMOUS feels more like a summer comic mini series, [Prototype] feels more like the summer action blockbuster, with a decent story, but more special effects. I think you could easily get away with getting just one and be happy. Which one you get, depends more on what you're looking for, inFAMOUS has more of a logn range approach to dealing with your problems, while [Prototype] has an in your face.. if i hadn't just cut it off, feel. But enough comparison, who else picked the game up?
