Prototype review

by Graham Kaletsky

Arguably the funniest, most exaggerated, unbalanced superhero/game there is. The Story is okay, Graphics are spades and the Sound track is okay, but what this Game seems like is the unbalanced Game system. And this time it benefits you and not your Opponents. If you're looking for a Game where you want to crush your Enemies with formidable Mutant Forces without even carrying a Scratch, you've come to the right place. I've had to laugh as rarely at a Game as I did at this one, I just can't take it seriously. You are fighting here with godlike Powers against Opponents who can do almost nothing. Like crushing Insects. Although the Game will be heavier against the end, here the Advantage is on your Side. You have dozens of Forces with which you can shred your Enemies, throw, crush or absorb your enemies, but there is no Danger, as the Enemies do only minimal Damage that you can heal. Even other Mutants, the only "serious" Enemies are so easy to defeat that it plays more like a Mutant Simulator Than a Proper Game. But that's nciht bad! Even if the Game has little to offer in the Area of Story, it just takes Fun after a frustaking day to walk a little Amok around the City and throw with Cars, drop People to the Top of Skyscrapers or cut a few Soldiers in half. There are still a lot To complain about. The Game is a Fail and in the Sense that it tries to take itself seriously. Story, Atmosphere, Gameplay, you can see quite clearly that the Developers didn't want to create a Parody but a serious Game. This is exactly where the Game fails, the Story is not told well, Cutscenes are usually very boring. The Gameplay looks like absorbing People gets points that you can put Into new Skills in a role-playing way. But, except that the Skills only offer more Opportunities to crush Opponents in an exaggerated way, they offer no higher Purpose. One is already too powerful from the Beginning and even more powerful to earth is just Exaggeration. At no Point in the Game is one challenged, at least seen from the Main Story. The only Challenges are the Time Races, where you have to run all the Checkpoints in a certain Time Slot and get a Medal based on that. Since this is more likely to be seen as an optional Addition, you can say the Game is too simple. Still, if you just want to host Chaos without being restricted, the right thing to do is. For even if the Military is chasing you, you can't care, no one can kill you. Definitely recommended!
