Gaming Shenanigans: Prototype Review

There are control and gameplay frustrations in Prototype, yes, and the story has a tendency to be convoluted, vague and silly, but that doesn't mean it isn't a hell of a lot of fun to play. It's very adolescent in its thrills, in the sense that the fun comes from blowing stuff up and violently killing quite a lot of people, but there's a big market for that sort of game, and that market includes yours truly. Characters use a lot of what are colloquially referred to as 'the swears,' and you have a tendency to punch through people's chests, crush their heads or slice them in half, so don't let a child anywhere near this game. 4/5
