I just barely beat it with hero...next up is Evil side..

on topic:::: great scores so far..

Can anyone who has played prototype and infamous can u tell me which one is the better of the two?

evils way harder imo no homing on yur megawathamer :( tho arc lightnings fun :D

yeah but with evil you can hit anyone without having the need to heal them. and if u do hit them and ther still not out giv em a good ol' kick xD its wat i always do. kick em like a football (talking about pedestrians lol)

Is there really an embargo?

I've heard from people with modded 360s that the game is not that great, but fun.

The game is really fun and slightly more so than inFAMOUS. However, they're both great games.

As for the embargo, GamePro broke it today, so Activision gave the green light to everyone else for posting the review. There's no reason to have an embargo when the game is already available at some retail stores.

it would help me with my decision to buy or rent

Disagrees? lol All the media that was exposed to the game have given it great praise.

Why not a 5? Hmm… well did you read the review or just see the score and the summary? I am going to assume the later.

But if you actually read the review you would see that flaws are pointed out in the game. If the game is not perfect then it does not deserve a perfect score.

Saying a game is repetitive is like saying the sky is blue, almost all games suffer from the repetitive bug by the time you reach the finish line. I really enjoy Infamous, its one of my favs this year and guess what, its missions get repetitive.

Also, I to watched the JustinTv play through and seriously that guy sucked at gaming, oh maybe it was the mission I watched that he died 8 times and instead of changing up his strategy he quit out of the mission to free roam, what a lame gamer.

You have it wrong everybody was excited for this and PS3 fans started the Infamous trip and its been an *attack vs give it a chance* sort of thing for months.

And you can't sit there and tell me that the Xbox fanboys didn't say that motion controls were casual crap and then do a complete 180 after E3.

are you kidding...

go back a few weeks and check some of the prototype and Infamous articles...

I agree, it does not make sense at all as its a multiplat anyway, but incase you have not noticed logic and or common sense are in short supply when it comes to the reasoning of some fans round here.

the only people flip flopping round here are the ones who were going on about Infamous is exclusive therefore its optimized for ps3 meaning its by far the better game ( never mind if they have actually played it or not )

please don't spin this into something its not, for the most part 360 fans have been looking forward to this game because its the only option they have. the only complaints have been it looking like hulk, even them i am sure i have heard it being called hulk 2.0 by some ps3 fans.

I own both systems, in my book there are 3 great sandbox games out now; Redfaction, Infamous and this ( prototype is the only one i have not played yet cos its out friday here ).

personally i am looking forward to it, i have always said best thing is just to try the game yourself. A lot of people were talking the same crap about redfaction, but after playing Infamous i am actually enjoying it more.

wait for the real reviews, which are being held back by the embargo until tomorrow.. look like the embargo is for reviews with a score less than a 9.. that's why you see all these great scores now.

whether it's inFAMOUS > prototype or inFAMOUS = prototype, only ps3 owners get to play both..

It's a matter of opinion. Just because you think it and one reviewer corroborates that opinion does not make it factual. Of all reviews so far up on Metacritic for Prototype, only 2 of the sources have also reviewed inFamous. Cheat CC gave Prototype the better score, and GamePro gave them both the same score. In order to even assume a general consensus of professional game critics we'll need to wait until there are more sources that come in.

Whatever you prefer, that's fine. Doesn't mean somebody else won't prefer the other, or even think they're equal. In the end, it doesn't matter. They are two different games, both worth playing, and some people will get to enjoy them both and others will miss out on inFamous because they don't have access to a PS3. No need to dismiss it just because Prototype exists to make yourself feel better for not having the means to play inFamous.

Yup Red Faction Guerrilla and Prototype are great back to back games on my X360. I agreed with you 110%.

I have played both and protype is better imo. I have the PC version and it looks and plays great. Just cause infamous is exclusive all the little fanboys around here say it is better. And by the way infamous graphics are nothing special, I laughed after reading posts here and actualy seeing the game. Protype on PC FTW

@bman33

wait what? it doesn't have a ledge to hang on too? LOL what do u think this game is....infamous? Did u actually play the game or what? I mean i haven't play it either but i know he doesn't need to climb a building. U should go and watch some trailers or something.

Good review so far. Looks like a fun game for both consoles.
