  • Why dont these guys understand that open world games are VERY hard to make even now!!

  • Ign haters find something wrong with every review

  • I downloaded the game for pc (torrent) a week ago and its nice, you get powers real fast for a major mayhem. And with the pc controls there is no problem playing this game, the problem is you even see those ugly buildings even better but with a good resolution pack that should be ok. Worth playing.

  • @TheWonderingMan wroth playing.... but is it worth buying? would you pay 60 bucks for this? I wouldn't.

  • You don't feel like a badass ???

    Is this guy retarded?

  • what is wrong with u people this game is awesome!

  • you cant press b and x at the same time ,, and you here reviewing a game,,

    this game is about heavy combat chaos and rape in NYC,,,, nothing more nothing less,

    go watch avatar graphic slut

  • After playing this game I think this was a fair review. This game is fun if you want gore and chaos but it gets tiring at a point.

  • What a hater

  • I just got this game and yes I feel like a bad muthafucka when I play it. I can go crazy on everyone and I feel invincible. The critical mass moves are badass too.

  • Screw ign this game is awsome. It seems like the only game they give good reviews on is cod

  • WTF I FEEL LIKE A BADASS WHEN I PLAY!!!!

  • Darkness rip-of

  • I can't understand what people find at that game!

    Is killing giving you pleasure?

    :(

  • @eviPAO13 Almost every game on the market involves some sort of 'killing'.

  • @eviPAO13

    all games are based on that.

  • @jitzmaster I don't think so, you may should take a look...

  • @eviPAO13 90% of all the videogames in the market are based on killing.

    And yes killing does give people pleasure, thats why many people go hunting.Humans are aggresive beings, it's in our nature.The human was designed to find ways to kill other living beings in order to survive.People don't start shooting other people in the street because it's not socially acceptable.Videogames work as outlets to the urge of humans to kill, without turning into phychos.That's why they are so popular.

  • @aggelosSlipKnoTRKO swsta.... epeitelous sunenoh8hkame!!!

  • One of few games that you truly feel powerful

  • the cannonball move is quite easy to execute in windows.....

  • Okay seriously, IGN needs to let this guy go, his expectations are WAY too high! No game is perfect, and a lot of what he is saying is understandable, I mean, just because the animation on some of the buildings is bad doesn't mean they didn't try their best! He needs to appreciate all of the hard work people put in for our enjoyment; and seriously dude, it looks to me like you can do cannonballs perfectly well.

  • @thevidgamereveiw He's a video game journalist. He's just doing his job. It's your job, as a reader/listener of his review to take it how you see fit. You can either like it, or lump it. Most of the reviews are not dissimilar to what he's saying. Like it or lump it, accept it or not, it's his opinion, and he's getting payed for it by IGN because they like what he's saying.

  • @TheBrokensaintvxvx Okay, looking back on my comment, I do feel I was a bit harsh, but comments like this are just my way of lumping it, and his expectations were still high in my opinion, which I'm allowed to have.

  • If I enjoyed InFamous, will I like this?

  • infamous is probably 1000000000000000000000x better.

  • Verdict. Your an idiot.

  • @qwhii sweet, sweet irony.

  • This game is awful.

  • @mrmrmrwatermellon fuck you too :)

  • When he talks about that move being sweet but "unusuable in a specific mission", WTF does that mean?? So you should just make 1 mission for that move?? Isn't it better to leave it to the players tactics when to use that, since it is an amazing evading move??

    Some of todays reviewers really disappoint me, all hey care about is story and graphics; when we all know gameplay is the fundamental of every game

  • A professional game reviewer bitching abou pressing 2 buttons at the same time..2 BUTTONS??!? SERIOUSLY??! How would this guy play games like Tekken or Devil May Cry?? How the hell did he cope with the Nintendo Platforms from the late 80'/early 90'?

  • i doubt alex mercer is a super hero

  • this game sucks i bought on day of release awful

  • @farhanking7861 no it isn't

  • @farhanking7861 wimp

  • if this game had the graphics it would be the shit after playing games like gears 3 and ac2 the graphic look so bad

  • @savage2833 aye,aye,aye, Gow3 and AC2 graphics are pretty good.better than protocol at least :P

  • I can do that cannonball move any day. It's not RIDICULOUSLY HARD

  • @Shikamaru392 Cole can also do have of what you said XD

  • Reminds me of Ezio...

  • Lol "I have to hit 2 buttons at the same time this game is too hard for me herp derp IGNorant"

    These games fucking suck, CoD rules, and we love our Xbox yaaaaaaaay...

  • @DrIScream You know how pathetic you sound by saying that CoD is better?You get 10/10 for ridiculous,and another 10/10 because I'm sure you're butt hurted about Skyrim getting GotY and MW 3 being a huge failure.So I laugh at how patheitic CoD is and all of it's fan boys!

  • @UnivingIshiro Lol dude I was being sarcastic and making fun of IGNorant's way of reviewing a game :}

    Btw, the only CoD's I like are 4 and 6.. I mostly play Battlefield as a FPS..(and Payday :o)

  • @DrIScream Oh,my bad....also like Battlefield more than CoD,is just plain kickass!

  • @DrIScream ugh, CoD is shit. it deserves no reward wut so ever. people should get more into quality games, rather than shoot and kill shit that goes in ur face...

  • @jujojoe yeah

  • "Smaller city with better visuals", now that would've gotten boring quick. I'd much rather have a monstrosity of a map that'll really let me utilize my powers, such as the wall running and the super fast running.

  • the game itself is soo awesome!! I have it and I can't stop playing it. Alex is the biggest badass ever in gaming history. He beats out every character from mortal kombat. He is the ultimate hero

  • Cole from infamous, i have electric powers, i can climb up buildings and i can summon down lightning and electric tornadoes. Alex from prototype, i have multiple powers, i can run up buildings and jump off them and not die, i can absorb people and take on there form, i make spikes come out of the ground and impale people and i can tentacle rape everything around me,i have a shield, full body armor, a huge blade and a spiked arm whip, i can also glide. So come at me bro

  • Whatever drug this guy is on, i want some.

  • "Never really feel like a bad ass." WHAT THE FUCK IS HE ON ABOUT? I feel as badass as a computer screen can make me when i fling an inocent civilian into the air, then grab him a again with a bladed whip, pull him in and let tendrils come out of my body and suck him in. Nuff Said.

  • I actually agree with every flaw that the review stated..But I still fucking love this game <3

  • the first radical entertainment game i played was jackie chan adventures xD

  • @Decalto35 First I played was the Hulk, then The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction. Then, unknowingly, I played Crash Tag Team Racing, Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant (from the Crash Bandicoot series, which was given to Radical in 2005), then finally Prototype. Until Crash and Prototype, I never kept track of who made the games. Now that I do, I'm a bona fide Radical Entertainment fan for life. All the games I played from them were excellent, bar none.

  • In the PC version of the game you can see orbs from very far away. The only pop in is detail visuals, stuff like orbs can be seen from a far distance away.

  • Your complaining about the rendering distances, yet your only judging on the 360. :-/

  • I wanna get this on the steam sale, but I'm afraid how crippled I'll have to run it on my Intel HD Graphics 3000, anyone know how good/bad it will run?

  • @mcj108 can you run it. google that. :)

  • @mcj108 intel graphics aren't made for playing games. even the HD series... Just spend about $200 for a card that u can use for a long time~!

  • Always get to the point on there reviews its gonna polish up and get better in a few updates

  • 1:54 oh plz, play infamous and say that again.

  • STEAM SELL

  • So what is the morality design really like? this review makes Prototype seem like an on-foot version of Carmageddon were you can kill just about anyone.. and thats a bit unsettling actually.

  • Ugly World..? That's a fucking shitty point to minus points on,

    You don't seem to like any actual GOOD games...

    Like...seriously?

  • Thumbs up if you're checking this out for the steam sale on Christmas Eve

  • @xGALEXYx maaaayyyyyybeee...

  • @xGALEXYx i got paid the day after, missed it :F

  • @xGALEXYx hahahah i got this game on christmast eve

  • "Boxy and ugly"... Isn't that EXACTLY what they look like?! O.O

  • can i play this on ps3?

  • if its in manhattan why is times square there?

  • @jasonvorhees24 because times square.....is in manhattan??????

  • bf3 rated n noobs

  • i love it it is bad ass

  • @nomeili2 if u have a ps3 friend me on youtube and ill give you the download

  • This or borderlands?

  • dont really care about the graphics that mouch the game is great

  • You never feel like a badass? The entire game is based on your badassity.

  • @DeathIsMySalvation Badassery, maybe?

  • WAIT,is that a PS2 game????LOOOOOOL

  • srr but i had so mutch dreams that i'm alex murser. and i was awesome!!!!

  • WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT GRAPHICS, BITCHES!!! this game is f'cking awesome, get a life haters

  • yeah the graphics are really nasty man it's like i'm playing in a world were every building is made of dirt and dog poo

  • The graphics look like somthing on the wii or ps2 the powers are awsome though but everything is just crap to much cram into a game ign gave a good review for something like this

  • First IGN review I don't agree.

    I mean, the graphics don't look SO bad, the gameplay is REALLY fucking fun, and that makes up for the graphics.

  • @Smashfaan Sure true,First one I don agree

  • totally disagree with this mug its a great game...

  • I hope in Prototype 2, the animation background layout will be WAY better.

  • never let this guy play a fighting game, if he thinks pressing x+b is hard then he might end up killing himself.

  • if anyone knows a way to i can get prototype for free please pm me, i can give you in return legit hacks and secret code

  • Alright IGN I give you that the buildings in the city could have been better, but the draw distance on ps3 is great! it is much better than in this review, the cannonball is easy to preform once you get used to it, and if you did not have all those enemies around you, the game would be to easy, I go into the main base and have 100 soilders 3 tanks and a strike team on my back and it is still rather easy.

  • SO FUCKIN FUN GOT IT YESTERDAY!

  • This game is great but I can't stop thinking about if you absorb a appearance and someone thinks you are there friends and see you you running up a buildings while they say ''hey what Fred doing''

  • well....7.5 is a pretty good verdict for ign.....I personally love this game and give it an 8.5 because it is true that graphics are strange, collectibles are hard to see until you get infected vision, you can get through the game with just one power (I use sword and shield), It is kinda tedious to get all the events done. I like the story, like the destruction, and like the sandbox...This is THE BEST SANDBOX GAME FOR XBOX 360 PERIOD! I would prefer possibly Alternate costumes with Normal+ Mode

  • 7.5 ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? (Visual and running problems ?) Not on the PC version.

  • ign fricken stupid they think graphics make up the whole game

  • "You might remember them as the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction guys". What? No love for their Crash Bandicoot games? No-one remembers Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant? Those plus Hulk were Radical's notable game. But a las, like Prototype, Crash Bandicoot got underrated by IGN as well. IGN has such a bad scoring system and such bad reviewers. The only good review they've put out is for Batman Arkham City.

  • this guy doesnt even know that the powers in this game are meant for the players own choice and how they play it AND NOT THE B.S "BUT THERE IS NO MISSION THAT SPECIFICALLY TAKES CONTROL OF THIS"

  • @Khalis33 takes advantage*

  • IGN does nothing but sucks the tit of COD cause if its not secendary shotguns and throwing knives and a new game every year it sucks. In my opinion there is shitty games but this is far from being shitty one of thee mosst basass games ive ever played.

  • Assassin's Creed + Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction + Spider-man Web of Shadows + GTA 4 = Prototype

  • WTF??! this game is better than bionic Commando but you guys bionic commando a 8.0! what the hell man.. (btw i play bionic commando)

  • 0:00

  • @chavalit94 Yeah because Rome and the other places are SO fake...

  • jesus christ man,what are you a fucking snake?I'm holding a controller right now and i just pressed x and b.Wait,did he just say you don't feel like a badass,no wonder I unsubbed.

  • x and b u just twist ur hand around dumbass

  • assassin creed in real world

  • @chavalit94

    It would be like A.C. in the real world if Ezio or Altair had super powers, but I guess their gadgets and skills can be a A.C. in the real world. Like Batman.

  • i loved this game and i have heard rumors of a second coming out...

  • I didn't had any problem with the cannonball move on the PC

  • @danielzinhofa I Got it 3 days ago, and it is amazing!

  • the cannonball is not THAT hard to perform...

  • @TheCrasher92 obviously this guy doesn't know how to play properly

  • @TheCrasher92 I Agree, it is so easy for me

  • @danielzinhofa Ok :)

  • If this gets into top comments I will get this game :)

    Just tell me if and when I do, ok?

  • @Brent77brent just buy it anyway ¬¬

  • @Brent77brent just go get it now, who cares about thumbs up

  • If you wanna see good ratings look at inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 rating. Fuck ya!

  • IGN sucks at reviews. actually IGN sucks.

  • yuo said its very hard to do a cannon bal combination in this game, now go try jump of the roof and try to do that canonball, would't that be ridulusly hard?

  • i couldnt give a fuck about graphics its stupid to rate games on graphics we play them to have fun not to criticise on the graphics -.-

  • Are you frikking serious? This is like one of the most epic platformers of all time!

    IGNorant bastards.

  • @Ninjaman349 This isn't even a platformer.And you call ign ignorant ?

  • @migueldELLO Well I hate IGN reviews and I don't know what genre [PROTOTYPE] is so I don't have anything else to say.

  • @Ninjaman349 sandbox action game

  • @migueldELLO oh

  • The guy reviewing is a pussy. Getting thrown around? Makes it a challenge! So does finding the orbs, the openworld doesnt look that bad, and people who play it love chaotic am I right? You DEFINITELY feel like a badass.

  • the view distance is awful only if u take chopper and go as high as possible, but if u are on top of empire states building then it's fine ;) I have it and this game is fucking awesome

  • damn right it needs more polish I once punched a guy and transformed into a tank!!!!

  • @awesomepossum58 AND THATS A BAD THING!?

  • @preecejon touche

  • The gory version of inFAMOUS. I thought it was ok, but not nearly as good as some people claim.

  • bad choice of video clips there it totally contradicts your review

  • Prototype 2 Is definitely gonna be a polished product

    ( I think this is the 2nd best super hero game ever) behind batman

  • @30seconds2slipknot nothings better than batman not even sex... fuck went too far :D

  • 3:14 The only way you're gonna have problems pressing X and B at the same time is if  your thumb is shorter than 2 cm, and if it is, you probably aren't old enough to play Prototype in the first place :D

  • what should i get this or just cause 2?

  • Honestly guys I think we should stop this war. Before I had prototype and I loved it the greatest way to take out anger. inFAMOUS 1 seemed like shit to me.Then I got inFAMOUS 2 it was the best game I ever played. Let me say honestly yes inFAMOUS 2 is better than prototype.No inFAMOUS 1 sucks.Im still waiting for Prototype 2 because I want it to have a better story line,Not just throwing things just because he has a virus.So can we all agree on this? :3

  • @SoraLegendz infamous 1 > prototype In my opinion

  • Not even its the truth I see review for them all the time I'm look for the falls in the game to see if the game play vs the visules are worth it so go fuck off if u do t like the review font watch bitch

  • I like both games. -prepares for the downvote storm-

  • "Pushing x and b together is ridiculously hard." Well there you have the general intelligence of ign right there.

  • @Znyrkifyable was just about to comment on that. What a retard this reviewer is. -_-

  • I bet Ezio and Altair see Alex Mercer and are like "The fuck, dude?"Thats our style"

  • gotta say i personally felt like a bad ass during my entire playthrough

  • WELL OF COURS THE GAME DOSNT FEEL COMPLETE WHY DO YOU THINK IT SAIS "PROTOTYPE" AND IT DOSNT EVAN HAVE A NAME YET !

  • @phils098 u are stupid right?

  • Infamous is better.

  • I almost didn't wanna buy this game because of IGN' review, but when I bought it, completed it, & unlocked almost every power, I'm fucking blown away from it. Better than how IGN explained it.

  • @michaelmarijuana That's why you don't listen to IGN's opinions of all people. You have to be a retard to listen to what they always say.

  • @Psychocide For real. IGN's fucking useless.

  • @michaelmarijuana dont believe the guy that did the review

  • @MrPOJO99 And I like on how the reviewer is giving this game shit just because of the graphics. Fuck that bitch ass "reviewer"

    Thats not what makes a game great.

  • @michaelmarijuana There's a difference between graphical fidelity and performance issues

  • @ZADER4427 For real. Sure graphics do play along with immersing you more into a game, but so does gameplay. And the gameplay is what I think makes this game amazing.

  • @michaelmarijuana its his view not ours.

  • Personally, I thought the character models looked a bit stupid, but other than that, I love this game!

    :D

  • THIS GAME IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE HULK FOR GAMECUBE LOOKITUP.

  • this games sucks! so many unanswered question!

  • Will you people stop arguing about this Infamous vs Prototype debate? If you say Infamous is better, that doesn't mean the whole world is going to agree with you. To me, Prototype is way better. Why? Well I'd rather punch holes through people, decapitate, crush and skewer them, throw cars at people and other vehicles and consume people to survive than to unleash like a 100 bolts for a car to explode, explore a city slowly and to recharge 24/7 because my batteries are running low.

  • @supereldinho your review is hypocritical of itself.

  • @AtomicBlizzard12 And why is that? Because I was stating my opinion? That was the point of my comment. I like Prototype more and that's it. That doesn't mean I'm gonna bash Infamous because of that. I also like Infamous a lot, but I prefer Prototype. This was to show people who have only played one of those two games that their single-minded opinions don't count for everyone, alright?

  • @supereldinho yet in your lat two lines you are clearly dissing infamous by comparison.

  • @AtomicBlizzard12 And you know why? Because everything you couldn't do in Infamous, you can do in Prototype. That's it. There must've been people complaining how they couldn't use weapons, hijack vehicles or even swim. Well in Prototype you can do it all and that's why I prefer it.

  • @supereldinho yeah, u get 2 use cool vehicles like tanks and helis and some awesome military weapons, i like infamous, has a nice storyline but protoype has a conspiracy theory going on 2 me, 2 incomparable but wayyyyyyyyyy wicked games

  • @TheKoolass Both are great, but as written above, some people who played Infamous probably said "damn, I can't use weapons, enter vehicles, swim and I have to recharge constantly!" Well Prototype allows you to do all that, so it's like a darker counterpart of Infamous. Both have nice stories, but I think Infamous wins story-wise because it has multiple endings, but Prototype is more conspiracy-based, yeah. All in all, two great games that need to be played :)

  • @supereldinho All you said is true, I also think of prototype as a game for above average gamers who just want to brawl to the death with tanks, helicopters, platoon after platoon of marines and elite units, and super tough creatures which look and sound as if they come out of a nightmare! Using powers, moves, and abillities which seem capable of leveling a couple of blocks at a time, if you could actually bust down buildings. Fucking great game!!!!!

  • @supereldinho well said, this should be on every Protoype video

  • @supereldinho Agreed why don't people just buy both games because they are both great!
