While waiting for prototype to come out this year I was lured into buying inFamous. I wasn't really expecting it to be that good - as it looked like a poor version of prototype.

Imagine my joy on discovering what an awesome game it was. Slick visuals, fun powers (better if you're "good" but anyway..), interesting story blah blah blah. Then prototype arrived. :cry:

Poor combat, shoddy graphics (it looks like an early ps2 game), repetitive missions, awful side missions. The only thing that was mildly cool was the absorbing, the devastator moves and using the whip/tentacle to grab choppers.

Infamous > Prototype anyday.

I felt prototype got very samey very fast. It was fun to cause mindless destruction for 10 minutes and then the novelty wore off.

If i wanted ball to the wall carnage i'd just get the ps2 out and go nuts in san andreas.

The end boss was ridiculously easy aswell. that game was a level of dissatisfaction i usually reserve for the ladies.

Prototype's previews showed nothing but carnage, and the same carnage. You ask anyone about what you can do and they'll immediately say the same thing.

"Oh yeah you can run up a building and jump onto a helicopter and smash it into the ground".

Whoopy-fucking-shit.

So is that everything you can do? Because I've heard nothing else "decent" about it, and even the previews said the same thing, it was no surprise when I discovered from people that played it that it was 10 minutes worth of variation and nothing more. I was right on from the start.

I've also heard mixed things about infamous, but the bad thing seem to be difficulty, which I dig when it dosn't do things for you, and you have to actually make an effort.

If I was to buy one of these, it'd be inFamous. I wouldn't go near Prototype with someone else's. Plus I'd no doubt mistake Alex Mercer for the Hunter and assume I was playing Left4Dead...

I don't know who else this can apply to, but I have not just played, but fully completed both games, and I'm now going to write up a combined review about both games, so that rather than talk about what you've heard from a friend of your cousin's neighbour's dad, you can take it from someone who's put a great deal of time into them both first hand.

Prototype seems to be Hulk Ultimate Destruction with a coat of paint. Now I loved Hulk due to it's awesome funness but I recognize that it wasn't for everyone and isn't a magnet for great reviews. Infamous has extra prettyness and some good parkour. The karma stuff is a bit too linear and obvious but added to the others makes for a better critical reception. Although they look and play in a similar manner they have different goals in their development and are thus no way near as alike as people would like. In short play both and then we can all go on to MAG or play neither and use the extra time to learn to play the guitar, it will get you chicks in college.

It's not who's giving their opinions, it's how many people, and when everyone else is saying the same thing, it gives a good impression of what the game is like. I'm not saying either's "good" or "bad", but inFamous looks far superior, and I've been told by everyone (bar yourself) who's played them both, the very same. This includes professional reviews, man. That's a tough one to ignore...

This thread's taken a totally different tone since the last one. When did everyone get converted? :wtf:

I played both (own both) as well, and I personally prefer Prototype. My quick and dirty opinion is the same as Blokey's comment really. Prototype is not as pretty as Infamous and the story leaves a bit more to be desired, but the game is more fun IMO.
