Hi Angry Joe! Been looking forward to your take on this game. I personally haven't played it, why play consoles when you can kill other players in WoW?

Newspaper gag was good.

edit: The gamernook.com ads are completely fucking cheese ball. These girls look like they are 12.

It's major lame to fight in WoW. Not fun for a nickle.

Sure it is, it's awesome!

awesome review joe, this game is friggin awesome, the consuming effect looked insane, the hooded jacket was a nice touch, i mean what would alex mercer be without his hooded jacket?

great job Angryjoe great job

Awesome stuff man

Great review as per the usual Joe. I love Prototype. Tons of fun.
I'm also new here so, Hi everybody.

Thanks everyone! I reshot this video completely - Im glad I did its much better than the first version.

Hi, Dr.Professor - you related to Dr. Insano?

Awesome review, it was hilarious. It looks like a half-decent game, I suppose I might rent it.

Most fun hero to play as? Eh, I can't possibly agree with this on this lifetime. I still think the most fun hero to play as is your own character in City Of Heroes and its even better in Champion Online.

I was thinking consoles here.

*cough* Cole from inFamous *cough*

I was thinking the same idea. lol. What was your concept on power choice (aside from lightning I'm assuming).

me buying this game, nao!! awesome review Joe ^_^

You can Be Wymans in the game, just consume the chick that looks like punkylady! Look for her!

I just had fun killing as many civilians as I could with my weapons, especially the sweeping attack of the whip arm.

Oh noes Joe ate meeeeh!

Good review dude as allways.
Though i dont see Alex Mercer as a super hero, he just kills people so i'm actually going to call him a Villian MAYBE a anti-hero.

Anti-Hero. He has friends, and he mainly does what he wants, his intentions are purely for himself.

Very nice review Joe. I gotta say Prototype offers ya more fun, there isn't any good/evil karma system wich annoyed me in inFamous, plus a really wyde selection of powers and abilities.

By the way, AngryJoe, it would've been cool if you gave a shout out to the dude that voiced Alex Mercer, Barry Pepper. If that dude's name doesn't immediately come to mind, he was the main dude in Knockaround Guys, and he was also in Green Mile, 25th Hour, and Flags of Our Fathers.

Didnt know that. Love alex's voice. Hardly see how it would have fit somewhere in the video though.

ok once i get enough money im buying this game great review joe

entertaining as ever joe!
This may take me off the fence about [prototype], i wanna karate kick helicopters...(and do all that other fun looking sh|t)

Love the game, been playing it over the past few weeks. Loved your homage to PA at the end

I didn't know you knew parkour Joe!

Sure do, I dabble in a little freestyle from time to time!

"because I have a new video game out, let me tell you about it" hahaha!
Great video Joe, and the game looks awesome! Especially the beating-people-down-to-the-bottom- part.

Thanks beautiful!

The PC version HAS no loading screen
It's called GLIDE

At some point playing through this I had actually thought, "You know Angry Joe is gonna like this game." If nothing else you should feel good knowing that your style is actually subtly influencing random everyday thought across the globe.

Hell to the yes that frikkin awesome that you thought about the show while playing.

I mean alex = bad ass with leather jacket that only cares about himself and does what he wants.

and AngryJoe = Bad ass with leather jacket that only cares about himself and does what he wants. Also, plays game.

Prototype was one of those games that just looked too perfect and thats why it dosen't feel so good gmae. Maybe they should stop trying to hype out games so heavily.

What other game has made just moving around city fun? Two words, Mirror's Edge. Oh and was that chick same as in your Ghostbusters video?

Mirrors edge wasnt fun for me. My video on youtube about it though still gets the most negative comments ive ever seen. There are HARDCORE mirrors edge fans - rabid even. odd.

I was thinking about not buying this game, but after seeing this review....gawd I gotta get it! it looks like so much fun! and the objective is to go around killing people? heck yes!!

this review was great, had me laughing the whole time XD haha the newspaper, the newspaper!!

though the ending was a little creepy joe...

I am an....ACTOR! Haha

Yeah, he really looks like he needs to do number two.
Some parts of the game are just too silly to be badass.

Joe, I imagine that some of your complaints may be answered in the inevitable sequel. A game this friggin' badass is bound to have a sequel, right?

You know i actually dont think this one will have a sequel or any DLC. We will have to wait and see.

I didn't care all that much for the game. It was entertaining for a few hours, but enormously repetitive and just... meh...

I'd give it somewhere around 5/10.

The weirdest part about teh game is definitely the AI. I love how the soldiers don't get suspicious of you even if you dress up like one of them and glide inches over their heads.

Yea that was odd feeling, and I should have mentioned it, but ultimately the game is supposed to be fun - not overly frustrating or difficult - and that would have forced it to be.

KARATE KICK A HELI???HOLY SHIT!!

You sir have not played inFamous.
I'm so-o-o waiting for someone to do a comparison of those two...

Well, Zero Punctuation made one, but it was a tie 3-3. Altho, he didn't take graphics into account and inFamous has way better visuals, so I'd say that inFamous wins.

Not wanting to make this a "inFamous vs Prototype" -debate tho.

Yeah, there's already enough "Infamous vs Protype" going around the internet without starting another one here.

However, as for Mr. Crowshaw's 3-3 tie, well, both companies responded to his ridiculous tiebraker offer, and... just follow the link. It'll all be clear soon enough.

Yeah, that's all I have to say, because I already bought it and enjoy it.

Nice find @iamnotincompliance

Now I have to somehow get these pictures out of my head...

Great review, Joe. Though I didn't have a real problem with anything at the beginning of the game, I did notice the similarities to other superhero games like The Incredible Hulk and the recent Spider-Man games. Not really a bad thing, but good games shouldn't really remind us of other good games.
Nice tribute to Penny Arcade at the end, too

Nice one

Truly your best review. I had no idea it was exactly similar to Incredible Hulk (because I stay as far away as possible from Movie Tie-In games). I laughed my ass off of your consume/taking a crap joke. Brilliant.

I have tried this game on PC, but the controls are way too annoying on keyboard (I hate constantly holding shift, it hurts my pinky) so im planning on getting this for my PS3.

Hey Angry Joe,
maybe you should try InFamous its very similar with Prototype (I think Prototype is a bit more hyped) but it got thinks like a morality system (on this the skills you can use debents), the city is more "lieffull" and the sidequests are most time fun .
