Prototype is a fine example of a new-age action game, high on quantity but low on quality. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game and very rewarding but it gets old very quickly, which is the biggest issue with the game. But let's not get into the cons so early on, this game still deserves accolades for being the most destructive game this year. The story revolves around Alex Mercer, who wakes up in a morgue, clueless about his whereabouts. He escapes the morgue and is off on a mission to recover his lost memory and to find out why all of a sudden he's invincible and mutated.


This leads to a string of missions and flashbacks that dig deeper into Alex's past, but 10-12 hours later, you are still confused. In a nutshell, Prototype is an open world game that puts you in the middle of a highly infected New York. A new Viral outbreak is turning citizens into mutated maniacs, and while the military is trying to cover up and control the outbreak, a new threat called Alex Mercer is doing the rounds of the city.
