Prototype 2
Welcome to New York Zero
The sequel to Radical Entertainment’s best-selling open-world action game of 2009, Prototype 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original Prototype and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon.
You are Sgt James Heller, husband to a deceased wife and child, and a soldier left simply to die.
As the game’s all-new infected protagonist, players will experience Sgt James Heller cutting a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero. Equipped with unparalleled new shape-shifting powers, players will gradually build a vast genetic arsenal of deadly new biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the ultimate goal – to kill... Alex Mercer!
Are you ready to murder your maker?

Our main hero, Heller, is not having a good week. New York Zero is under tight military control, plans are afoot to suppress the masses and, oh yes, his family have been killed.
At the start of the game you're introduced to some pretty devastating but limited powers and begin your journey to right lots of wrongs. The plot/story unfolds by brief clips in the form of flashbacks from the memories of recently consumed. It's an effective, novel and powerful way of unravelling how things become as desperate as they have.
The city has a GTA4 feel to it but there are more explosive items and lots that can be interacted with....so trees do not stay perfectly upright when a car is thrown in their direction and propane gas canisters will explode if violent contact is made.
As Heller, you can not only use various bio powers such as claws that shred and tendrils that penetrate flesh but are able to throw vehicles, consume guards and use their weapons (from sub-machine guns to rocket launchers), jump the height of buildings and glide effortlessly from location A to B....and the control method is so well done that the game is fluid and responsive. Even noobs or those that struggle with some games will find the easy setting forgiving and very playable. You're almost god-like compared with foes which is all good for me as I cannot stand games where continual death is the main event.
It's all 3rd person which works perfectly for me although if you were a very, *very* harsh critic you may find that an item blocks your view for a split second on rare occasions.
Make no mistake, this is an 18 cert for a reason.... Read more ›

Fourteen months after the events of the first Prototype, New York is once again haunted by the lethal virus. A lot has changed in those fourteen months but for James Heller, it's just the beginning.
STORY:
The story of Prototype 2 plunges you into the role of James Heller, an army officer, husband and father. New York city (now named New York Zero) is being struck with a virus that is causing chaos on the streets and to the people living on them. When James returns home and finds his wife and child murdered by the beasts that the virus has created, he swears revenge on the man that apparently caused it all - Alex Mercer.
At the very beginning of Prototype 2 you can sympathize with the grief James is going through. The first half an hour or so of the game is quite story-driven and gives you all the information you need to begin your hunt for Alex Mercer. I was very interested in how the story would play out and so far, it's been great. However, as you go through the game collecting powers, upgrades and causing destruction on a mass scale, I soon found myself forgetting that James Heller is not a bad guy. Yet, it's hard to see this when you're chopping up marines and causing chaos on a massive scale.
Whereas Alex Mercer's past actions were unknown, you already know straight from the beginning that James is not a bad guy and, at first, the game reminds you of this but as you steadily progress, the story is swallowed up in the carnage that you can cause. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I don't think, but just don't expect the story to stay with you the entire game. It's easy to forget when you have so much power at your fingertips!

In my opinion computer games are designed to be fun. Perhaps someone should have reminded Rockstar of this fact when designing `GTA 4'. Here is a game that tries to stop you having fun by constantly having you bombarded by police and then restarting the mission. The likes of `Prototype 2' are blatant rip offs of the genre that the `GTA' series helped to create, but it is a lot more fun to play.
Taking place soon after the first game, `Prototype 2' sees you step into the shoes of angry James Heller whose wife and child are dead from the virus that has morphed you into a superhuman. You seek revenge on the army that let your family die and the man responsible for the plague - Alex Mercer. This revenge takes the basic form of running around an open world, taking part in 3rd person combat and killing everything you see without the aid of a moral compass. `Prototype 2's story is not particularly relevant and is a little long winded at times. Instead treat the game like an awesome sandbox in which to use Heller's powers.
The game is a touch on the easy side as Heller dominates everyone in the city. Personally I like this as I don't play games to restart over and over again. The main story missions shake things up slightly, but the bulk of the game is fetch quests (kill that, destroy there). Thankfully, doing this is great fun. The combat is excellent and although the camera sometimes twitches and becomes lost, the game is out and out fun. Graphically, things are reasonable, without being spectacular. This allows for more things to be on the screen - but slowdown does occur.
Despite the slowdown, bland missions and obnoxious language, `Prototype 2' is a fun game that does not outstay its welcome.... Read more ›
