Prototype, first thoughts
Callum NCFC | 5:34 PM on 06.14.2009 5 comments


Prototype came through the letterbox two days early thanks to the great guys over at ShopTo.net. After a full day of scaling walls, collecting orbs, roaming the streets and causing huge explosions nostalgia crept in from the old days of Crackdown.

Prototype does possess many similarities to the open world game by real time worlds. Although i'm going to stay away from saying Prototype is “Crackdown on Crack”, I’ll go with Steroids. The addictive orbs that we all remember from Crackdown have sneaked their way into Prototype also — this time there in just two different categories, Hint orbs and landmark orbs.

I’ve found myself disregarding the missions and going all out for the orbs, they seem so rewarding. Up to now I’ve completed 9 of 31 missions, this partly due to my drowsy persona Wednesday night; unfortunately i decided to overwrite my game save with a new campaign, i wasn’t best pleased after i sunk 5 ours into that save.

That’s all for now, best get back to it!

I've been really impressed in how easy it is to accidently sink a couple of hours into the game without doing any missions in particular. Mostly I find myself running from base-to-hive-to-base, collecting any orbs I happen across in the process. I'm really impressed at how addicting the level up system is... always just need to get one more power before starting a mission...

I've been playing the game myself. I've found most of the missions, vehicles and bosses to be frustrating and not fun. So I too have pumped a lot of hours into simply just causing a lot of chaos. Sadly enough, you have to actually play the entire game to unlock all the sweet powers.

do the missions, they'll get you more upgrades and weapons and you can have a lot of fun with those. The whip-arm is looking to be my favourite so far :)

I love Prototype. I just do anything/everything I come across as far as missions and shit... it's all just so fun. I spent the whole weekend playing it.
