Game Review: Prototype

Prototype is a game designed for those who seem to have a major fault in their mental state. It is a game made from 99.999% blood and gore and 0.001% love and cuddles. Were a sane person ever to have this game at hand, they would know there was only one thing to do. Burn it. If they ever actually caught sight of what the game contained, they would scream and most probably rip their eyes from their very own sockets.
Anyway, back to the statistics. For its graphics I would give it a well deserved 8/10, even if all the detail they created was mainly on his weapons and the blood. The scenery is also pretty intense, and when gliding through the streets or standing on the peak of the tallest building, you can see exactly what I mean. As for its game-play, I give it quite a lowly 6/10. Mainly because there is not much of a story-line, and to even come to the verge of believing there is one, you would have a sadistic old fool for the only excuse you could have is 'The story-line is how you kill people with different weapons, lololololololol' Now I'm not hypocritical but to be quite frank, if someone said that, I would uppercut them so that their jaw would smash into their cranium, then I would watch them slowly bleed to death whilst punting them. Then there's the underlying question, is it worth the cost?

When this game came out it sold for £49.99 R.R.P. This, I think, is a ridiculous price, and could only be bought by mad-men who spend very extravagantly, and don't know what 'saving money for a rainy day' means. All in all, no, I do not think this game is worth it.
