Title : Activision's Prototype Game

Description:

Discover What Lies Beyond the Edge of Evolution.



You are Alex Mercer. You are the Prototype™... a shapeshifter with amazing powers of combat, destruction, and deception. Consume targets for their form and memories to assume a perfect disguise, or instantly transform your body into an array of deadly biological weapons, cutting your way to the heart of the conspiracy forty years in the making.

Stalk the streets of New York City, searching for the life you lead before. Take the form of anyone in your path, using an arsenal of identities to confound, exploit or annihilate your enemies. Mankind is your mask.

Wage a secret war against factions with complex agendas of their own, out to capture or kill you. They are your greatest threat and the key to the secrets of your past. Confront them, find those responsible and make them pay.

I got to spend more than an hour hands-on with Radical Entertainment’s Prototype, and the first word that comes to mind is: whee. Yes, “whee”, as in a small child’s exclamation on a swing-set, or a see-saw. I have never played a game that made me say “whee,” and I’m excited to tell you how I got there.
