Plus, subtle annoyances such as lots of clones were notable, though you can tell the developers tried to work on this. Contrary to that point, those of you who have never spent time in The Big Apple (shame on you) will never be fazed by this gripe, and I truly enjoyed rampaging amongst storied landmarks rather than in a meaningless world.Īnother visual misstep is that vehicle destruction animations are pretty crude they blow up and crush in weird, unrealistic ways. While Chinatown, the Financial District, Harlem, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and the Upper East Side all look distinct, their close proximity due to limited game space makes the city look less real than it otherwise would, were it a fictional metropolis. Also, as nicely depicted as the in-game map is, it suffers from poor transitioning from neighborhood to neighborhood. Ironically, it features a great draw distance when looking out at the horizon, but it does suffer from a good deal of pop-in vertically when falling to the street from a great distance. Visually, the map used of Manhattan is massive and well-rendered.

The presentation in Prototype is also outstanding. Truly, from the moment you fire up the game you'll feel like you are the most dominant force on the planet! That being said, I'm not sure what else the developers could have done because they even slowed down time whilst activating the menus. The only control downside I found was while accessing the power and special vision radial menus - it felt a little clunky compared to the rest of the lightning-quick controls. Nevertheless, the trigger-based targeting system, simple button combos, and quick access to powers via the D-pad make this game a dream to control and play. In fact, it likely could have been abandoned entirely without missing a beat. The only gameplay mechanic I found to be jenky was that of shapeshifting into "disguises." I didn't feel the stealth / sneaky side of the game was particularly well-realized.

Even more awesome was just how much ass I could kick and how empowering it all felt skyjacking helicopters, mutilating infected hordes, draining the essence of mutant hunters, and lighting up military bases with RPGs is all done naturally.

I absolutely loved picking up taxis and hurling them at helicopters carrying off helpless civilians at a full gallop like ragdolls only to consume them in a dark corner sprinting up to the top of the Chrysler Building and perching on the lightning rod.
