I did play Half Life 2 and Far Cry 2, both of which have "accelerate/break" type controls... At least Far Cry 2 had that for sure, I'm starting to doubt whether Half Life 2 had it, now. Well anyway.

Looks like the game is selling really well--it knocked Sims 3 off the top position in the UK and also grabbed the top slot on Steam (admittedly with not much in the way of competition). Glad to see that, despite the lukewarm review scores. It's quite interesting also to see that the sales of Prototype are more steady than that of Sims 3, leading me to think that people are spreading the word about this game (whereas for the Sims I imagine most people who want it just get it, and that's that).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Rockstar proved last year that releasing games in summer is a much better idea than releasing at christmas as there's fuck all else out at the moment so you're not really competing for sales. Sims 3 has been fairly widely panned too (At least the reviews I've read) as being pretty dull, I wouldn't have thought the people who were buying that were in the market for Prototype!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Man , just a random advice to anyone who has problem with running away from stuff.
you don't have to wait untill they stop attacking , just wait untill the light orb on the bottom turns off. quicly press the D-pad or whatever your'e using to switch into costume.
i learnt that taking a quick corner and switching into costume saves all the time of running into a high roof and destroy all the helicpoters.

Aside from consume events and missions, I usually end up fighting an entire Strike Team. It's fun that way.

I was speaking idiomatically.

And you wonder why it took folks so long to clue in to that... heck, I thought the PS3 should've been pushed back to the following summer so that not only would the logistical kinks be worked out, but MGS4 would be a launch title and help move systems.
That said, folks who like the game's tuneage should be pleased by the existence of this site.

Game won't start for me for some reason and it looked like a great game. It tries to start it but I get back to desktop right away. Hope I can find something on google I really want to play!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Looks good, I might pick it up when I get Devil Survivor this/next week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To play it on a computer then you need either XP SP3 or Vista SP2 I'm pretty sure. So if you're trying to play it, but don't have your Windows updated to either of those, that may be the cause of your problems.

I just got it an installed it earlier. So far I'm REALLY enjoying the game. Mind you, the second I got the chance to roam free I decided it was time to run around town killing everything I could for 3 1/2 hours >_> I think it's pretty well done, and the story is pretty interesting to me, which is saying something since I usually don't find the story to interesting in a lot of these types of games. Oh well though, it's fun fun stuff to me.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think that Prototype is pretty good. The Soundtrack is Ok the gameplay is Ok but i think that they should make a second [Prototype] with a better Ai beceause from the first [Prototype] the Ai is not good

Though I can see what you mean, half the fun lies in running up and down some buildings while accusing other soldiers of being Mercer.
"But-but, you just ran up a building!"
"I know it's HIM!"
*Muddamuddamudda*
"Oh, well. I made a mistake..."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Do you use a joypad, or does it fare well with mouse/keyboard?

My friend bought the PC version, which I can take over for free afterwards - but for some reason I just feel that this game might be better suited for just popping into your PS3 for immediate 32" action.

I could just wait and try out the PC version of course, but I wouldn't know what I'm missing out on. Hmmm.

I picked up DarkSector for a couple bucks the other day, and there are actually a lot of similarities to Prototype (I guess considering the story material, there's a lot of easy "outs" for the writers to take).

Spoiler:

Not saying the games are clones, just finding the story similarities in the first hour of DarkSector humorous. Prototype plays better as a superhero sandbox game than as a poor man's Gears of War with a boomerang.

That's true. I still mourn the loss of the original Dark Sector game, though. The one set on a space ship with japanese drums in the background.
