Prototype - Kill everything in the face with awesome super-powers

cool.

probably going to get this, have given up on Fuel which is getting dreadful reviews.

sounds a lot like Hulk Ultimate Destruction, which was very good. That wasn't online either.

So long as the game has a good lifespan; lots of games these days are only a few hours long at best.

What firmware you running?

I can't remember which version it is - contact of mine did it for me a few months back, just as a new version came out.

I am not sure whether it is 1.5x or 1.6!

Suffice it to see, most of these new games don't work without at least 1.52 I believe.

Funny you should say that - I believe it is the same studio/developer!

Many have said already that it is the natural evolution of that game which, sadly, I never played.

It is getting a little tough - a few bits are slightly frustrating, but I have pushed through and it is stil fun.

The bad guys are vicious and unrelenting - they really don't pull any punches.
 
i'm a little wary because the recent hulk game (based on the recent movie) was also by the same people (IIRC) and that was a stinker compared the Ultimate Destruction. You couldn't do half the stuff you could in that game.
 
This game has just raised the bar on what to expect from smash stuff, fly about, upgrade your powers and have loads of people on screen type games. A lot.

I played the recent Wolverine game after playing this and it just seemed really old and tired in comparison.

How amazing is running up the side of a building, launching yourself off the top and kicking a helicopter to death in mid-air?

This is how all games should be, it's as if they just sat down and said "what can you imagine and how can we put it in a game?"

The only thing about it is that the story is just so shit as to be laughable but that's not really new to video games.

Love it.
 
its a bit special isnt it , i love picking up cars and throwing them at helicopters runnig up walls and assimilating people

well done Activision.

My fav game of the year so far ( as long as it can keep up the pace ) :cool:

one review i read states the main story is about 8-10hrs but if your looking at doing all the side missions youre looking at 40+


KE not heard about a demo yet , but ive played it for about an hour and its mental :)

Yeah the claws are the best in-game claws ever aren't they. I do prefer the hammer hands though, for when you absolutely positvely have to break everything on the motherfucking block. :cool:
 
havent got the big fists yet , had a good session last night , getting into the upgrading. It gets a bit tough though . I was on one mission last night where youre in the army base and all those hunters are jumping in ( quite near the begining). Took me a few attempts but i dint mind having to re-start it as i was having so much fun. I spent most of last night mucking about in the city causing trouble and doing side quests :)

That the one where you have to blow the fuel tanks up? It took me ages to do that before I just jumped straight onto the tanks and gave them a good clawing. It's really full on though innit.

Like you I didn't get into the upgrading thing until I'd played it for a couple of hours but now I'm watching the EP go up and planning my next buy. Are you flying yet?

I reeeally need to get off the internet, I've got 9000 words to do for uni before next week. Think I'm gonna ask for a ban. See you next week. :)
 
nah not flying yet but im building up quite a few ep so im be looking into that in my next session. It been a long long time since ive recommended a game so highly to my mates and cant wait to get home to play again :cool:
 
This sounds ace. :cool:

Is it one of these ones where you can just run around all over the place getting involved in whatever you want (like GTA, Fallout3)? I love games like that - where you can just fuck about causing havoc without really following any plot.
 
I don't know, I find these sandbox games rather dull, I much prefer a good narrative to my games, which is why I can't wait for the sequels to Bioshock and Mass Effect, oh and of course the new Final Fantasy.
 
Ooh, it's rather intense isn't it? I'm never very good at remembering all these multiple button actions though - which is why I generally prefer FPS games - Using weapons is pretty pants so far.

Am enjoying gliding around everywhere at the moment...
 
I'm enjoying it; targeting is perhaps a bit clunky (mainly because shit happens so fast), as is changing forms in the middle of a fight (on the PC its R+mouse select, so quite slow, probably faster when I get used to which F keys to use for each power though) but otherwise a lot of fun.

Liking the mini-games, classic GTA style but cranked up (a lot).
 
this game is very brilliant - I was sick in bed yesterday so played it for about 7 hours straight. It would be nice if there were more variety in the kind of enemies you faced it seems to be just hunters and then leader hunters (which are really bloody hard to kill).
 
yeah it is once you can figure how to do it ;)

in the vids you can attatched on of your tendirils but not worked that out yet.....
