Here’s a rather challenging game for everybody. Prototype is a sandbox-style action game, which basically means you don’t have to follow a single patch to reach your objective. You have the freedom to choose the way you want to play the game. Of course this freedom isn’t without limit; you will have to follow the basic story outline which goes like this: You play Alex, a mutant shape-shifted with superhuman abilities of strength, speed, agility, durability, and healing. You are also empowered with the abilities to consuming fallen enemies… a bit creepy, that. As we mentioned earlier, Alex can shapesift and take on the guise of those he has consumed…getting creepier…Alex, of course, has lost his memory and is set out to regain it. He would also need to find his sister to get the answers he is looking for. The game throws two types of enemies at you: one is a set of humans that have been infected with a virus causing them to mutants, and the other are the special squad of soldiers sent out to kill the aforementioned mutants. The most interesting aspect is the shape-shifting ability, a new concept as a mean of destruction. Radical (the developers behind this title) claim that there are 750 different combinations that can be used through this power, so we hope they don’t disappoint us.
