Prototype [Mediafire PC game]
Description
Prototype is an open world
action video game developed by
Radical Entertainment and published by Activision. The game was released in North America on June 9, 2009, and in
southwestern parts of North America as well as
Oceania on June 10,
and was released in Europe on June 12. The game is set in New York City, where a virulent plague known as
BLACKLIGHT is spreading through
Manhattan. Those
infected are mutated into hideous monsters of varying form, and an uncontrollable urge to kill all uninfected life-forms. The United States Marine Corps, under the command of the black ops organization Blackwatch, is dispatched to contain it. At the center of it is the protagonist, Alex Mercer, an incredibly powerful shapeshifter with no memory of his past. Alex has the ability to absorb other individuals, taking on their biomass, memories, experiences, and physical forms. Parallel to the game's storyline is the ability to
play the game as a sandbox-style video game giving the player freedom to roam Manhattan. Many reviewers compared and contrasted it with
Infamous, another open world action game released one month prior to
Prototype, by Sucker Punch Productions which features a superpowered protagonist with developing powers in an urban world. However, the gameplay of
Prototype is very similar to
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, also by Radical Entertainment.
