InFamous Vs. Prototype

In one corner we have the Playstation exclusive, hailing from Naughty Dog productions is the heavy hitting, electrifying InFamous. In our other corner we have the multiplatform slicing and dicing destroyer, hailing from Activision productions, the one and only Prototype. I chose these two games to have and Xtreme Gaming Zone fight off, telling you if you have the choice, which one of these you should probably pick up. Lets start with InFamous. One of the few PS3 exclusives that actually delivers. I can honestly say that I could not stop playing this game. Unlike Prototype you have a choice on whether you want to become the hero or the villain. I chose to become a hero and it was amazing.


First off, the graphics of the game were pretty sick. Its a giant 3D environment that has building and wires and moving trains and more. It wasn't this gore fest that Prototype delivered. I mean it had its blood but it wasn't anything like Prototype. But you play as the main character Cole. He is a bike messenger and he had to deliver a packaged but it was accidentally a giant bomb and gave him sick powers. Kind of like Static Shock but less sucky and more of a kick butt persona. Your whole adventure is based on finding who did this too you and why. Same as prototype mostly. Revenge and Mystery. You do sick challenges and you learn cool moves and powers. If you think about it there is so much in common between these game.

Prototype is about random guy, Alex Mercer who was infected by some group and is given weird powers. His whole adventure is finding out who did this and why. Real similar folks. So why waste more time when I can take out two birds with one stone. Prototype you gain experience and get sick moves. Slicing, whipping, slashing, riding, smashing and more. The plus about Prototype is the ability to hijack vehicles like tanks and helicopters. But who needs that when your arm can turn into a giant blade? You can also throw cars and huge objects at your enemies too. Pretty insane but feels like a mixture of Hulk meets Resident Evil.

The differences in the games other than powers and whole idea of the games are the presentations. InFamous had cut scenes that were like comic books. No 3D cool scenes like Prototype. But honestly that's the only plus Prototype had over InFamous. I feel like the sickest individual when I crush regular human beings head to take control of there looks and give me health. I feel like Infamous let you be good and bad. When Prototype made you become an evil S.O.B. Some things were just messed up but also interesting. But InFamous had better game play, control scheme, storyline, and pretty much everything. So Prototype gets a score of 3X points out of 5. InFamous gets the score of 4.25X points out of 5. If you have a PS3 go pick InFamous up because I am sure that you will put your Prototype to the side. Gamer Out!
