Prototype: The Game - Be a Shape Shifter


Prototype is an action-packed game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Activision.

Prototype drops the players into New York City as a superhuman with the ability to shapeshift and steals other people's powers. Players will take control of anti-hero Alex Mercer, who wakes up in a mysterious laboratory as an experiment with no memory of his past. The world of Prototype is engulfed in a three-way conflict between the military, a mutated viral epidemic, and Mercer -- who has become a weapon in his own right.


A secret war in New York City is linked to Alex Mercer's past, and a conspiracy threatens the fate of mankind. For players, the whole game is built around the idea of "weaponizing" themselves. This open-world action game features a "deceive or destroy" gameplay where players control Alex, a genetically mutated shape-shifter who must decide upon unleashing these powers or harmonizing in with the public. Players have to assume the perfect disguise by transforming into any character and assuming the victim's powers, skills and abilities. They can take the form of anyone in their path, using an arsenal of identities to confound, exploit or annihilate their enemies. Whether players are dealing with an ordinary human being or a genetically modified monster, mankind is their mask.

The insane amount of strength, skills and powers that the players get in the game is amazing. Delivering a fast-paced, relentlessly amoral and wonderfully brutal sandbox adventure, Prototype is considered as one of the best games to release in this generation.
