You can grow gigantic claws, sprout a blade-whip hybrid or convert your fists into hammers that would put Thor to shame. However the over-powered powers you unlock keep things fresh. Now that I mention it, the entire game can feel kind of repetitive because you’re essentially doing the same thing in nearly every mission. The side quests, though enjoyable are quite repetitive and in all of them you’ll either be killing scientists, killing military dudes or tracking down lost cargo before a timer runs out. Between missions however you’re free to indulge in a bunch of side-quests that allow Heller to earn new mutations and even upgrade his existing ones. The game world’s been divided into three zones – Green, Yellow and Red, each of which will be unlocked by completing certain story missions. Prototype 2 is an open world game which you’re free to explore from the get go. In fact the game half expects you not to and presents a quick recap which gets by just fine.Īll right so New York’s in ruins, your family is dead and you’ve just received rad powers. Heller welcomes these new found powers reluctantly but learns he can use them to exact his revenge and so begins a game of cat and mouse between maker and uh makee? An engaging story isn’t one of Prototype 2’s selling points so it’s all right if you haven’t played the first game. Blinded by rage, he seeks to avenge his family but now Mercer is a mutated God who in-turn infects Heller to do his bidding. Our new protagonist, James Heller wasn’t in town when that happened but unfortunately his family was. Prototype 2 takes place a few years after Alex Mercer destroyed most of New York with his new found mutated powers. It understands that sometimes games need to forget authenticity and realism in favour of plain old fashioned (sadistic) fun. It doesn’t judge you for wanting to kill thousands of people instead it hands you a tank just to see how many people you can run over in thirty seconds. It hands you ridiculously over-the-top powers and then encourages you to go on massive killing sprees with little to no repercussions. Prototype 2 is all about player empowerment.
