Story
Dr. Alex J.* Mercer is having a bad fucking day. He's just woken up on a slab, he's getting shot at by MIBs, and he's turned into H.P. Lovecraft's worse nightmare.
He's the Prototype.
And now he has to fight an insane Generals fascist taskforce, a zombie horde slowly taking over Manhattan, and the loss of his own humanity. On the plus side, he can karate kick Comanches.
Here's out Metacritic, which gives it a 78, describes it:
You are Alex Mercer, the Prototype: a shapeshifter with amazing powers of combat, destruction, and deception. Consume targets for their form and memories to assume a perfect disguise, or instantly transform your body into an array of deadly biological weapons, cutting your way to the heart of the conspiracy forty years in the making. Stalk the streets of New York City, searching for the life you lead before. Take the form of anyone in your path, using an arsenal of identities to confound, exploit or annihilate your enemies. Mankind is your mask. Wage a secret war against factions with complex agendas of their own, out to capture or kill you. They are your greatest threat and the key to the secrets of your past. Confront them, find those responsible and make them pay. Shapeshifting: Attack with brutal and devastating powers; instantly triggering hundreds of power combinations (Attack, Defensive and Sensory). Disguise: Assume the perfect disguise by transforming into any character and assuming the victim's powers, skills and abilities. New York City is your hunting ground! Jam-packed, vibrant, fully interactive city filled with thousands of people and enemies out to destroy you. Delve to the bottom of a conspiracy that has haunted the American government for decades. Who is responsible for your condition?

It really comes down to which Spider-Man villain do you want to play as: Electro, or Venom.

Well, there is -one- thing that can't be fixed by dropping the difficulty.
End-Game spoilers:
Though, for all it's flaws, on some level I did like Prototype, or I wanted to like it, I don't know which. It just wasn't easy to do. Despite all that, after having my PS3 conk out a bit ago with all my saves, I've been contemplating popping it in again to finish off the trophy list. Or, like, everything that isn't the Revisited one. Because screw that.
Alex in armor just looks stupidly badass, especially if you hold down on the dpad when you transform to do the slick animation
PS @Mogs: CQC represent - I'd use with it exclusively if I could
I mean all I'm saying is that's - my - shit
I loved it.
The last boss (and his prior appearance) were just nonsense.
SODOMISE INTOLERANCE
Tide goes in. Tide goes out.
Prototype was everything I wanted Infamous to be. I never felt powerful in Infamous. I mean, I can shoot lightning for christ's sake, but somehow the game actually makes it seem weak in comparison to the enemies I fought. I may as well have had a pistol and bag full of grenades instead of whacky electro powers. Prototype on the otherhand.. well, you're an nigh unstoppable badass from the get-go and it only gets better from there.
I also beat the final boss with 1 second left since I realized super arms + bombs/rockets/fuel tanks = victory.

Yep. Prototype had some awesome features - when you're dashing towards an enemy base and jump as a tank shell takes out their gates, and then find yourself running up the gates as they're blown through the air? Well, that's pretty fuckawesome.
On the other hand, Hulk had
+better story
+fun, "epic" boss fights
+smoother combat
+no stupid radial menu to select powers
+area of effect specials that were a helluva lot cooler than Alex Mercer's Tentacle Storm, Spike Forest and... Biomass Cannon Thingie.
Of course, Prototype's got
+gore
+violence

Granted I didn't finish it but...
i mean i died a few times but not the hardest part.
what was bullshit was trying to get those fucking races in all gold. fuck those.
but yes this game is fun for just the pure chaos you can create. and bonus points for awesome gliding.
i guess my one big complaint was that the combos were too much trouble to bother learning and once you maxed everything out you didn't need them anyways
After gold there's platinum.
Speaking of platinum, hands up everyone who got all trophies/achievements! Where's MorningLord?
...'cause I think it's just me and him. Like, in the world.
'Chance, you are the best kind of whore.' -Henroid
Working on it. Pretty sure all I have left is wrapping up some platinum events (on easy), finishing the last ten percent of the web, and going through on Hard.
I got at least Gold in all the challenges, a few Platinums. Those races are hard.
Love Prototype though. I have a feeling we won't see a sequel, sadly.

No prob
I suppose you are right story wise
But even though I love Prototype, I'm not gonna lie and say there weren't some issues, and I'd love a sequel with better combat, better enemies, cooler bosses.
You get so many badass attacks, and either your enemy dies too fast to use them, or it's an enemy that isn't affected by them.

One of the generic NPC types wondering around Manhattan is a lady that looks like Hilary Clinton, in a vague way.
Personally, I prefer to go Blacklight then punch people in the face. Or, you know, go in a base and keep pointing that finger until only one remains.
Reason #1) The Whipfist. This will seriously handle every single boss fight up until the final two. Run around and poke them with the Whipfist how hard is it to think of something as obvious as this jesus christ!
Reason #2) Second to last boss fight spoilers
This shit is inexcusable. If you are complaining about Elizabeth Greene you are literally the worst. Run up a building, do the sword drop, run away as necessary. This isn't hard.
Reason #3) Final boss spoilers
Complain all you will of other things but the bosses in Prototype are easy as hell.

This game may have been a bit clunky and rough around the edges but it definitely got large interactive crowds right. One time a friend of mine spent a solid 20 minutes just running up and down a busy footpath with a car just knocking people into the air, which I'll admit is a pretty awesome sight.

I think people have been spoiled by the newest generation of action games in which you never die. I mean, you can play a game like Assassin's Creed and never really find yourself in danger. When a game forces you to retry a mission a few times, it's not an "unreasonable difficulty spike", that was the norm before the advent of checkpoints.
I thought it was a challenging enough game without being impossible. Some of the events are ridiculously hard, but no one is forcing you to complete them.
And the second to last boss is bullshit because even if you "run to heal" you're still fucking chased by a hundred things. So by the time you heal up, you're in the middle of a warzone with all the minions.
Then obviously you're either A) Waiting too long to heal (hint, you should be doing it before you're at a sliver, create a buffer zone) or B) Failing to take advantage of your natural gifts. I've noticed that a lot of people make the mistake of not using anything when they're not using the Armor. Yes, the armor slows you down. But if you're not using the armor you should still have the shield activated.
I'm going to pretend for a moment that the "minions" that chase you are an actual threat. They're not, but since you're convinced they are I guess I'll have to help. Use the Whipfist to obtain a snack from a distance and on the move, chow down whilst out of reach. On a building ledge perhaps. Keep doing this. Problem solved.
The second to last boss gives you every advantage, there is no excuse.

That's accurate. It's a pretty tedious fight, but nothing about it is difficult.

Like everyone else I did enjoy just running around smacking shit up. I even loved it when you lost your powers and were basically super agile with a gun. Need to get it back from my pal.

The second to last boss fight, however, was a cake walk. The key is not using armor during that fight. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that's the key to the game. Prototype becomes several orders of magnitude harder whenever your ability to get away from people is crimped.
Also, I beat the second to last boss fight on my first try, while doing the 'don't use civilians as medkits' achievement, blindfolded, while walking both ways uphill, in the snow, without feet.
Then you must be a much more hardcore gamer than I, because everything about it was difficult for me. Nice.

And when you compare any of the bosses to bosses in Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, UD is just way, way more fun.
