I've only played the 360 version but....he is split into several sections. First its just you and him, just keep moving, jumping and gliding then use the power with the arm that shoots out for ages.

Just keep doing that then when his health gets so low you a load of his friends come :)

Keep moving, the army turns up eventually. Then put your armour on, steal tanks and missile launchers and just pray :D

Well said mate, have to agree about the cars/transport etc but its all compensated for, you never really stick around to look at these things. Some things i did like about the vehicles is the animations you do to get inside them. Not a Press E and ZOOM ur in, sometimes you have to break inside them too. If you have got the helicopter hijack skill its so cool when you are at the back end and have to 'progress' to the cockpit pressing keys to jump on the wing etc :D

Just got back from London so my sentences arn't very well constructed, excuse me :p (tired)

oh and performance, i get no FPS drops at all. Quad core and gts 250 1440x900

Great review :cool:

edit: oh and good shout about the bridges, another island would be quality !

Thank you for your comments maybe i should start reviewing games?:p what do you think?

you read me wrong the fps drop i do not see any drop i just stated that it was not optimized for the hardware im running very well in thid case 280GTX SLI should get more than 92FPS? surely:rolleyes:
 
This game is brilliant, I'm having so much fun with it. It runs surprising well on mine, Q6600, 8800GTX 1920x1080 with everything maxed out @ 2xAA :eek:
 
Runs well for me too but the game does use some very basic textures, shame it plays and feels very average imo and looked a whole lot better within the pre-release trailers. :p

FYI

link here to a modified dll that will allow (and only allow) 1360x768

I assume they'll patch this into the real file in the future, rename the original file to make a backup..

This file works a treat. Had a quality session through the tv with my new xbox controller last night (& some beer ofc).

Great fun game, do like running about and chucking stuff at people.
 
It is a very good game, different from anything else I have played, and works a treat with my system with everything maxed and 4xAA without any slowdown :D

I seem to be the only one that didn't enjoy it!

Nope - played the first few levels and found it utterly mindless. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy mindless gaming, but it has to offset the fact with some fairly stunning visuals for compensation, and it doesn't. Yes, there's a lot on screen, but I just don't think it looks that impressive.

I guess I knew it wasn't for me the second I saw it takes about the same amount of effort to destroy a tank as it does to kill joe-bystander.

When it comes to games, then yes, "horses for courses" etc, but I'm still stunned by the amount of people who are raving over this.

The first section is pap, I agree - destroying Tanks/etc isn't quite so easy once you get back to the start of the story.

I thought id write a customer review as every seems to have mixed comments.

My Mini Review:
This game for me is in the same league as Team Fortress & Saints Row 2 by that i mean there not meant to be taken seriously or made for the graphics, they are ment for pick it up & have some fun for a few hours. it is however not one of them games you will play all the time everyday(unlike TF2). its pick up & play put away games. it does however have some serious elements to it to the story is strange & draws me in to wanting to know more & finish it.

 The Graphics Are Good for most part. the people are very detailed for amount there are, this is not to confused with Crysis Detailed. prototype has a GTA IV like look to the game, but prototype people AI is superior. the landscape including buildings Tree's lamposts are also detailed & vasty different around the city.However most Cars,Truck,Heli,Tanks do not look like they should be in the game at all. they are very bland & vector like they seem to have just picked one colour for each car with no blending for Shadows or highlights. which is disappointing. The Taxi are the best looking car in the game, you can see all the detail and have different shades of yellow to them. the Cut scenes are very good, they look like a film in places with there dark effect on them with touch of film grain to boot. if the game looked as good as the cut scenes you would be playing GTA IIV without being able to enter cars.

Performance
The Performance is good but also not that well optimized, by that i mean i have yet to notice any stutters or drop in FPS & runs well considering all the explosion etc there is. i did get a crash once on picking up a hint but was resolved when i reloaded the game, but lost 2 hours of exp points..

Why i feel its not optimized?
i am playing @ 1920x1200 with 4AA (max) & all high & im achieving 72-92FPS.
However my current rig is:
i7 940 @ 3.0 | 6GB DDR3 1066 | EVGA 280GTX SSOC SLI
i feel that game does not utilse the SLi To its full advtange or any for that matter.

Free Roam.
The City is vast & great to explore. ive not seen any 2 buildings that look the same. there are however bridges that are closed which i could see being opened up later in the game (not finished yet) or in a free DLC

Powers are very fun to use but as i said before its a pick up play & put away game. the powers are great for causing havoc around the city from blowing up cars cutting tanks up, sticking spikes though helicopters & making them explode. i have yet to unlock every power but i do enjoy causing mayhem.i do feel that there wont be enough to keep me amused for a long time so far the longest run i have played this game before getting bored was 3 hours.

Conclusion:
i do hope they will release DLC for extra powers from some big well know super heores to expand this game futher & include multiplayer options. i could see this game being as big as GTV IV online community if time was put in to some fun game modes & great connectivity. The Game Overall is a great pick up and play game if you currently looking for one this is a great consideration & will give you a unquie genre to your collection for thayt point alone i think it worth the purchase. i do howver feel that game is overpriced at £34.99 but certain brick stores have it for £29.99 if had to buy this again knowing what i know i would say this game is worth £24.99

Online Ideas.
it would be great to see game modes such as
"protect the Target" (VS)
"clear up the infections" (Coop)
"most Damage" (VS)
"Capture the Flag" (Team VS?)
(Free Roam Racing)(VS)

Hope you liked my review:D

After that review i think may well at least try it :);)
 
Would people recommend playing this with kb/mouse or a 360 pad? Think I might grab it this weekend :)
 
Its a personal choice really, but much easier with a 360 pad, I tried to use a keyboard & mouse, but wasnt as much fun that way, the 360 pad makes life a lot easier and get to sit back and enjoy it more
 
I'm not having any problems with keyboard and mouse, and definitely prefer it for aiming tbh. Takes me 3 or 4 mins to clear a military base when jumping with a rifle and aiming. Can kill everyone with just a few jumps and aimed shots at everyone :)
 
I suppose the good old keyboard & mouse works better for people that use this combo on the FPS games, and have perfected there skills in this way, but for me its the controller as I was brought up more this way
 
Using keyboard (g13) and mouse myself and I'm finding it much easier than the controller, though as dance said I am one that plays a lot of fps and am hopeless with a controller anyway :)
