Great game with a lot of free-roam fun!!!!

This is a really good sequel to the popular sandbox genre game Prototype. The graphics are decent with an entertaining storyline. Gameplay is similar to the first game and the control is very well done. Prototype 2 has a progressive leveling system that allows upgrade to powers and abilities. The story is decent and creates a lot of the gameplay but the thing it excels in is the use of mini-games and city exploration that can only be possible in free-roam sandbox games. Weapons and vehicles can be taken for personal use including tanks and attack helicopters. I think one of the drawbacks which took a star away from my rating is all of the extras that are only available through purchase. I don't have a problem with DLC that expands upon the overall gameplay but to lock out mini-games and upgrades that don't vary from the free stuff was disappointing. If you can get a copy that still has usable Radnet codes try to do that otherwise be prepared to cough up a lot of extra money to unlock run of the mill items. I would definitely recommend this game and think it is a great diversion until the next big RPG or FPS shows up to absorb all of your spare time.

It's fun, But Repeats it's self.

I want to start with, prototype 2 is stupid fun. It's great to have all this destructive powers and a fun sandbox to use them in.

PROS-

- Traversing the world is fun. Ruing up walls, jumping up buidlings and gliding is a blast.

- You feel powerful, You can cut through people with ease and the combat system is pretty fun and varied.

- Handle the way you want. You evolve you character the way you wish and you can approach situations in varied ways. Stealth, Hulk Smash, Hit and run? Its your world.

- Vehicles control well, and are fun to pilot

CONS-

- Missions feel a bit repetitive. It seems like your entering the same base, or the same cave EVERY other mission. Mission structure suffers due to this.

- The story is lacking. The story is hardly a thought. In fact i find myself skipping through the millions of memories if found when i consumed someone.

- Leveling is fun, but it feels like you get acess to some really cool tools wayyy to late into the game. Better pacing with the abilites would have made the game much more fun.

- If you've played Prototype, there isn't much that has changed. Heller plays just like Alex. Which feels a bit lazy.

-Graphic feel a small bit dated and the color pallet is kinda, boring. Enemies are kind of generic and all look the same. The rooms look bland and the same.


Verdict:
The game is neat, and its great mindless fun. The sandbox is fun. If you are looking for fun factor and not much else, its great.

Take Prototype for what it is and it will shine for you. Expect to much, and it will fail you a bit.

Great value for the money!!!

Bought this game because of Prototype 1 which is an Excellent game!!! Prototype 2 is Better than Prototype 1!! the story is great!!! Highly recommended!!

Took the greatness of the first game and made it even better.

I bought this game because I got the first one at a local used game shop and it was one of the best games that I had ever played. I had high expectations for the second one and they were all met. Everything that made the first one great has been polished and improved. The upgrade system is better and the challenges are actually worth something. The collectibles are done much better, instead of 250 orbs there are quite a lot less black boxes, lairs, and field ops. This game makes my top 5 easily.

Awsum!

This game is great! My son can't get enough of it,he keeps asking when 3 will come out.He plays the game every day over and over,(He has over 50 other games to choose from)No cons all pro from him.
