Summary
Prototype 2 is all about mindless combat, flying through the air, running up buildings, and cheesy dialogue. Don't expect a deep story, but get ready for a fun ride.
We like
- Smooth combat
- Traversing the environment is a blast
- Stealth consuming missions
We dislike
- Occasionally funky camera and target system
- Dull story, dialogue
- Repetitive missions, bosses
