I hope it not a disappointment like InFamous was. Such a lame game. Graphics, gameplay mechanics, and story are all flat. There is nothing driving me to play and finish the story or the game. Nothing compeling about the story or characters to want to play. The characters are even more unrelateable in this game because…well there is no real story fleshed out.
.
@suiter: I have heard people and critics liked InFamous but I just didnt. “Mitelos Bioscience”!!!! If you just continuing on with what Kemper said…Nice. If its true adn they made no other references then its unintentional and lame.
.
@Kemper: One could only wish that was true. That a game could come out and be fantastic and heal the wounds from the Lost video game, it was fun, because I am a Lost fanatic, but not fun, not replayable etc…
.
It does look fantastic. My only worry is the overuse of a plot story, “I wake up with no memories and I have powers.”
.
I am really waiting for ohhhh, Splinter Cell Conviction, Batman Arkam Asylam, Uncharted 2 Among Thevies, Mass Effect 2, I am not as excited for Bioshock 2 because I just dont think its going to be the same, Ratchet adn Clank…hey sometimes a hardcore gamer needs the fun qurky humored platform…yes I like little big planet, Halo ODST VERY MUCH EXCITED. Its fresh air for the franchise to branch out and not try to do Master Chief saga some more.

I havent played this but what Ive seen/heard about it.. it really just seems like a gorier InFamous. I just beat InFamous (in 5 days) and it was enjoyable. Has anyone played both and could compare them for us?

Was the lab he worked for called ‘Mitelos Bioscience’ by any chance?

You know, I saw a few ads for this game, and every time I thought it was an ad for Infamous.
`
I wonder if the character from Prototype gained his powers from some electromagnetically charged Island that likes jumping around the ocean.
`
Or it’s possible that he’s got some remnant of a cybornetic decendant.

The whole ‘having been dead’ thing seems to be a bummer. C.f., Starbuck.

Oh, my dear Mr. Grossman. I would have to agree with you for the most part on this game. I purchased it as soon as I could find a copy. (Which wasn’t easy. The local Wal Mart didn’t have it.) But, in any case, I was completely stoked about this game. It’s pretty fun, I’ll admit, but I wish there was a bit more to it. Half of the time, I find myself avoiding missions and getting Blackwatch to call in Strike Teams just to have some fun. (If it weren’t for the whipfist, I’d probably be screwed.)
.
As per your wondering if you were the only person waiting: no, I don’t think so. When I called Wal Mart, they said that people had been calling all day. And, when I finally did get a copy, it was the last one.

Don’t feel bad about beating up random pedestrians. It could be worse. For example, you could accidently snap a baby’s neck.

Can Alex turn into a smoke monster that judges a person’s misdeeds before killing them in horrible ways?

I just finished a playthrough of Infamous, which is fairly similar, and as well as that game handled certain things, it mostly just made me want to go back and play Crackdown. How does this one stack up?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing the trailer for that at my friend’s birthday party a while ago, and then a Youtube video with even more footage. Looks like it might be fun, if I ever played video games. Could make a very interesting project natal game, but you would probably have to have ninja powers to play it that way, so never mind.
