So I decided to ditch MFO and watched my dear plays Prototype on PS3.
Prototype kinds of reminds me of Resident Evil. But very very confusing, for me at least. Let me go in a little bit on the details, from as much as I think I knows anyway.
There is a main character ( the one you will be using ) by the name of Alex. Unfortunately, in the start, Alex do not even remember his own name. Nor whoever that is related to him. Each time you have to follow a yellow arrow, that will leads you to acquire your quest. Sounds like a normal case of detective type? Not so.
The weird thing about Alex is that he's infected with some sort of viral. Some people in the military experimented on him, and he's able to literally run up the walls, glide and jump in the sky ( these skills will need to be upgraded once you have enough points for them in the later stage ), hijack tanks and helicopters, using his body chains or tentacles to damage or destroy people and things, and of cos, consuming both human and infected races which will result in charging up your life and sometimes, able to disguise as the person you consume and obtaining the memories of the person/thing that you consumed.
This game is pretty gory, with all the blood and body parts flying/splashing about. But unlike the Resident Evil, fear is not a major factor here ( no surprise zombie attack or whatsoever ). Poor Alex is wanted ( dead prefable ) by both the military and the infected ones.

If you want to play the game and see how it goes, then stop reading from here.
Still want to know? Ok~ You asked for it...
From time to time, you will see Alex speaking to you but at the bottom corner of the time it says "Day 18 since the infection" or something along that line. He kept on saying that there's no survivor, only him.
So we started at Day 1. Apparently the first person Alex started to recall is Dana. I didn't really see the start so I can't comment much but I know he went to find her and rescued her just in time before the military dragged her away. Before you reached her, you will be trained to use your skills, such as disguise and so on. As Alex consumed more people, he learnt that he was being experimented on but the project kind of failed. That is when he knew of Elizabeth Greene ( that's the name I think ). Elizabeth is another human subject to the experiment ( other than Alex ) but for some reasons, she gave me the idea that she's the queen of the infected. Alex was no match for her till later in stage. They also showed Alex's girlfriend, I am not sure if its Karen, but if it is, she betrayed him by telling the military of Alex's location.
Dana was one of the main characters that supplies information to Alex. But at the later stage she's being caught by one of the infected, a minor boss I think. His minors are called Hunters. Hunters are bald headed, pink skin throughout the body that will turn blackish when they are almost dead, but most of the time you can only see their butt if they run from you ( which is very little chance as they always run towards you to attack you ). The minor boss is just slightly larger than them and more painful.
I can understand the memories from the people that Alex consumed but not so much when he consumed the infected. Often muffled and in whispers of bits of words, it is very confusing unlike the clear ringing of sounds from the memories of people. Images will screen randomly across but you probably won't understand anything and yet Alex always seem to be able to.
The zone will initially split into red ( the infected ) or the blue ( the military ) zones. But eventually, red will take over most part of the map. You can try to infiltrate or destroy either the hives of the infected or the base of the military. Consuming different people in the military allows you to take on more skills. Like if you consumed the artillery people, you can send for artillery strike. Something like that.
Somehow a Doctor, I forgot his name, will be assisting Alex and providing him the quests. He's a little bit annoying when you are given a time limit to protect the doctor from the infected while he's studying and taking samples of the corpses. He's always screaming "Alex! Get them away from me, they are coming!!" Sheesh =x
Yesterday I was watching Ray trying to defeat Elizabeth, but he died a few times for she was a very tough boss. Her attacks include a fury scream which when caught as she unleashed ( she's hiding in a mutated red inverted vase-like looking pile of muscles ) your life bar will drop drastically till about lesser than 10%. She has hordes of infected ones to chase you and two huge tentacles that will pick up anything nearby ( huge blocks or chunks of cement or vehicles ) and throw at you. And she will fire green ball like attacks towards you as well. Worst thing is you have to try to first break down her basic 3 defends before you can deal damage to her life. There's 3 or 4 parts to it as well, each time her defences went down, you are able to damage her a little more before she hides back in the ground and come back up, fully guarded and it gets harder each turn as the military would join in, both attacking her and Alex.
After what seems like hours, Ray finally defeated her and the real infected human Elizabeth tumbled out of the muscle body. Alex stood over her and consumed her. I was like "What? Why is he eating her?"
Then a whole lot of image came up and I can hardly understand.
* ~ End of spoiler ~ *
If nothing much happens, I might be able to see Ray finished this game by tonight heh heh... I am curious about what is going to happen next.
Time for me to get back to my stuff... Cya~!
