What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
ok pros - running around the map as a superpowered man is really fun story is cool combat is fun (you can karate kick a helicopter and explode it, and throw props at people off the ground) cons - the hunting missions can be a little confusing

We need a comeback to the Prototype series, either a new entry or a proper remaster of Prototype 1 & 2
Game is badass. A third game would have been cool. Or just more games like this and inFamous.
