The problem I have with Protype is the graphics. You talk about gameplay all you but the graphics suck.

never understood what the hype was about in the first place

BS lame story + some of the worst boss fights i have the misfortune of playing.

Hope they improve on those aspects for the upcoming sequel, as an overall package it wasn't that bad and was worth the rental.

A little bit more. Infamous was an ok game, nothing jaw dropping about it or what people made it out to be. The only thing I actually liked about Infamous was the intro and story. Once the intro wore off, I found my self doing the something to improve my character, repeated city designs, and so so Enemy A.I. A lot of the side missions were lacking depth, and felt more like a chore that didn't add to the over all experience of wanting me to continue doing side missions. The way of going about being good or evil was a great addition.
Prototype was a little bit less repetitive, and I actually enjoyed how the character moved around the city. I thought his powers were a lot better with the transformations and being able to take certain vehicles. The wack things about Prototype was the story, and I had an issue with the enemy A.I. and some minor graphic detail other then that it was a good game

Prototype's design may not have been of imfamous' graphical quality, but it wasn't as bad as many people would make you believe. I would love to see the improvements to the next installment, hopefully they will focus on the story

Not that excited. The game was good but I don't think it really deserves a sequel.

Holla at a playa when you see em in tha street.

I have both and Protoype was a huge let down. I could not get into it.

The Web of Intrigue was a nice touch, but tedious task to undertake.
It just seems the game goes all over the place. It looks more generic than Infamous and the graphics definitely falter to a point.

There are tons of people to massacre but that gets old. Throwing tanks gets old. Cutting people up in pieces gets old. The story was pretty transparent, there is a lack of direction in that department as well

Controls were pretty responsive, nothing to harp about but better than other games of recent.
Music is alright, there is a lack of it, but I don't see anything wrong in that department.

All in all, Prototype was a boring endeavor with very little substance to back up it's 'interesting story'
Alex Mercer is also a lifeless shell of destruction; when I think of him I think "re-skinned hulk"

If you don't like what I have to say about Prototype then hit me with your best neg bubbles and disagree. I don't give a F***! I couldn't even manage to get past 1 trophy on my main PSN account, after testing it on my *other account, racking up 15%.

To add insult to injury, I just traded for some credit towards Fallout 3 GOTY edition.

If they make a Prototype 2. I would hope for better combo system, styled combos, point system would be a +; better PS3 graphics, maybe for both 360 and PS3, cause if the game looks anything similar to PS3 version, I wouldn't doubt 360 owners wanna projectile vomit toward the screen.
Better story, more diversity in moves, not so many trees like in the first game(that was annoying)

I'm not even going tot alk about Infamous because I have played very little of it, but that will be the next game I Plat, after LBP. That and R2. (competitive for 6 months might gain me that plat, lol)

I was dying to get this game before it came out and loved it for the first day or two, then I realised how samey the missions were, how awful the story was and how much of a boring chore the (so called) 'side quests' were.

I don't care what anyone says, I really liked Prototype. It was very fun, and the graphics on PC look much much better than it did on consoles when I saw the console version. Textures do tend to suck on the buildings though. Even if you don't have a good computer, you might be able to run it as it runs well with the older systems, and still look decent. Even though my friend who has a laptop with only a 7900GTX could only run this at low and only at 720p (his native res was 1440x900) without AA, and the game still didn't look that bad, and was still perfectly sharp with absolutely no jaggies at all. Now the only crappy thing was the story, but the web of intrigue was a good idea.

It seems we haven't seen the last of our friendly neighbourhood sociopath Alex Mercer just yet."

the auther does not know the definition of a sociopath.

Prototype one was a good game, but it, like Assassin's Creed 1, was under-polished. It needed more focus on the story missions, as they were all the same, maybe having a few stealth missions. Enemies also began to get repetitive, there needs to be more soldier types.
Of course with the progression of the story Alex could get more powers, like laying down a decoy Alex would be cool, one thing that could also be done are travel forms, imagine a flying form, not the gliding but actual flying, swimming, running, faster climber, higher jumper. (Oops I'm ranting on here) anyway in conclusion, with Alex Mercer's Progressing powers, opens up opportunities for more gameplay options, and therefore more directions for the story, every new skill learned needs it's own little story to it though.
