Awhile back I received Prototype 2 from a game loaning site and at first play, I wasn't overly impressed and it seemed like something I'd have to take some time for completion even though TA and Xbox Achievements said it could be finished in under 8 hours.
So last week upon completing Tornado Outbreak I had decided it was time to start working on this game again. As I played into the first couple of missions I was reminded at how much this game reminded me of Crackdown. I found myself being drawn to play it more and while I wasn't overly impressed with the dialogue, I found it to be a lot of fun. I finished my first playthrough with about 10 achievements that I missed the first time around. There is an achievement for completing the game on hard but to be honest, after your first playthrough you are severely overpowered and the second one is a breeze. I did die a couple of times but the checkpoint it put me back to was pretty much prior to the fight. (speaking of which, there are a ton of auto-saves / checkpoints in this game)
All in all, it's a very easy game that can be completed in under 10 hours for more. The collectables I was not looking forward to but they're actually really easy to find. I would have to say that if you can deal with a lot of blood / gore as well as some pretty harsh language, this would be a fun and easy completion. Most of the achievements are easily obtained with the worst being for completing the game on Hard which isn't much harder than your easy playthrough.
I've give this game a rating of 3.5-4 out of 5 hammerfists.
