Product Information

In Prototype, you take control of an amnesiac man named Alex Mercer. After waking up with abilities that exceed a normal human, Alex finds himself on the run. Both the military and a group calling itself Blackwatch are after Alex and his extraordinary powers. Throughout this 15-hour adventure, you will make new allies and uncover your past. Prototype was developed by Radical Entertainment, and its release date was June 9, 2009, for the PlayStation 3 by Activision. Prototype for the PS3 title is an open-world game. The game takes place in New York City, and the city is recreated in stunning detail. If you have been to Manhattan Island, you will likely recognize some areas throughout this game. Players take control of Alex using a third-person camera, and this view allows you see everything around Mercer at all times. Everything in the world of Prototype for the PS3 is traversable with Mercer spending most of his time jumping from rooftop to rooftop. His new powers let him run at extreme speeds, automatically hopping over objects in his path, and he can leap incredible distances, hurtling over small buildings with ease. Alex Mercer also takes no damage from falling, even from 40-story buildings. While Mercer can run from his enemies quickly, he can also blend into crowds. One of his notable powers is the ability to shape-shift into another character, which you will use in various ways over the course of this PlayStation game. You will want to be careful while using this feature, as using any of Mercer’s other abilities will immediately break his disguise. Eventually, players will have to fight their way out of a situation. Whether it is against the military or infected civilians, more 50 percent of this PS3 game is combat. Luckily for gamers, Mercer has plenty of combat moves at his disposal, as he can use his shape-shifting ability to turn parts of his body into a weapon, such as a giant blade to slice his foes in half. He can also drop from tall buildings and deliver a devastating shockwave attack to take out multiple enemies at one time. Mercer can pilot tanks and wield firearms, including rocket launchers and assault rifles. When you find yourself surrounded by enemies, it would be a great time to pull out a maneuver called Devastator. With the press of a button, these attacks annihilate all enemies on the screen. For example, one Devastator launches humongous spikes from the ground to impale any characters nearby. Prototype for the PS3 console is full of optional quests and gameplay modes, such as the Events mode, which lets you compete for medals. Getting gold medals in any of these side quests will reward you with experience points you can use to level-up Mercer. This title for the PlayStation 3 receives a rating of M for Mature due to the game’s blood, gore, and intense violence. If you are looking for an open-world game that lets you unleash your inner beast, Prototype for the PS3 would be an enjoyable game for you.
