The story in Prototype is rather mediocre, presented with fairly decent and action packed cutscenes. This serves as a springboard for Alex’s ultimate goal, which is to find the people that did this to him, and “make them pay.” Not only does Alex have to contend with his new powers and the soldiers trying to bring him in, but a plague has been unleashed upon the city, turning a portion of the population into zombies, who are out for blood. Your hero, Alex Mercer, has been gifted with great powers, including great strength, the ability to glide through the skyscrapers of New York, and even the ability to run along walls like our favorite arachnid.Įven the start of the game is presented in the same way as Web of Shadows, with our hero at the end of his journey, where everything seems lost, and then the actual game flashing back to just after Alex awakes from a morgue, and discovers he has strange, deadly powers. Prototype has a lot in common with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and that commonality goes beyond the New York setting seen in every Spider-Man game since 2004’s Spider-Man 2.
