Open world, super-powered carnage returns in Activisions Prototype 2…
The originalPrototypewas a flawed game, in many ways.
So begins another brutal and bloody campaign.
Unlike the original game, however, New York looks very nice indeed.
Its a far cry from the bland and barren city streets of the first game.
Within this more detailed environment are far more varied and well thought-out missions.
They make for nice diversion, and when you complete various collections, you earn an upgrade.
Its a simple addition, but one that dramatically elevates the combat.
It just feels better all around, and much more polished.
Outside of combat Heller retains Mercers excellent locomotive skills.
Being chased by a chopper intent of blasting you to bits?
No worries, run up that building, rip up an air-conditioning unit and let em have it.
No matter, lob a car or truck instead.
By simply clicking the analog stick, Heller sends out a pulse that scans the area.
This sonar also comes into play when tracking down specific individuals.
Its up to you how you spend your points.
Still, niggles aside,Prototype 2is a huge improvement over the original game.
