New York Zero is a post-viral wasteland broken up into three distinct districts. The Green Zone is heavily militarized. The Yellow Zone is an overcrowded refugee camp, nothing more than a quarantined shanty town. The war-ravaged nightmare known as the Red Zone is where the Blacklight virus has completely overrun the once-great city's skyscrapers and population.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The first "Prototype" was a game that, despite it's amazing potential, fell short of what it was capable of by the last few hours of the game. While it was an enjoyable experience for sure, there was a certain type of magic missing, not to mention a decent mission structure and polished gameplay. This gamer loved it, but knew that there was much more Radical could have done to match the greatness of their fantastic last-gen title, "The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction." But given that people love running up walls and blowing things up in video games historically, it sold well enough for Activision to give the talented developer another crack at the franchise. That's a good thing, because while "Prototype 2" will certainly not be the best game you play this year, it will give you some of the best times you're going to have with one.
Taking off a few years after the initial entry, this sequel puts you the boots of Army sergeant James Heller, who has lost his wife and daughter to the Mercer virus that has turned New York City into a parasite-infested wasteland. Fueled by PTSD from the Iraq War and rage from losing his family, Heller swears vengeance on Alex Mercer, the originator of the virus. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Mercer was the protagonist of the first game, and seeing him in a whole new light really broadens the scope and perspective within the continuity. In this, he's a maniacal sociopath who has been corrupted by the virus that turned him into a superhuman, and on a whim, he decides to give this superhuman virus to Heller because he displays a large amount of spunk. This is a big mistake due to the fact that Heller has a burning hatred for Mercer, and what occurs is a fun and compelling revenge yarn between the two men.
Unlike the first game, "Prototype 2"'s story starts off kind of weak but soon turns into something genuinely compelling and fun. Both Heller's conquest of revenge and his one-man attack against the oppressive Blackwatch military that abducts innocent civilians to test new viruses on them make for some good, B-grade entertainment. The more characters that get introduced, the more perspectives the player is given access to, and watching these different outlooks and personalities mesh makes for a fun time during cutscenes. No character, though, is as entertaining and fun as Heller himself. A walking profanity and trash-talk machine, James isn't written off as the "stoic and angry African-American male" cliche that too many games use, and instead is one of the best and most believable Black leads in gaming. While the story isn't really anything groundbreaking or tearjerking (in fact, it's one of the weaker parts of the game), Heller makes it an overall more entertaining experience.
But one could ignore the story in "Prototype 2" and not miss much from their overall experience, because one element in the game itself is flawless through-and-through: the gameplay. Instead of forcing the player to work themselves up to a level of power equatable to Mercer's in the first title, Heller starts off with the most of the abilities an average gamer had at the end of "Prototype", and begins to get stronger at a rapid pace. This gives an untold level of power and control to somebody who picks up this title, which is a treat in and of itself. How Radical takes it one step further, though, is that every little gripe people had about the core gameplay before has been addressed, and now everything works the way it should. Heller adjusts perfectly to ledges he stands on, aiming is far more accurate, and gliding from roof to roof is streamlined to perfection. Vehicle controls no longer feel too sketchy, and doing large maneuvers such as ripping the missile launcher off a helicopter in mid-air or duel-wielding different abilities in the heat of battle can be pulled off with minimal effort. For the first time in my long history with video games, a developer has given a player the opportunity to be a superhuman and not held them back with cumbersome controls or overpowered enemies. Running up the sides of skyscrapers, karate-kicking helicopters hundreds of feet above ground... almost nothing in this game is impossible. Radical finally "gets" what people want from a title like this, and so many developers could take a cue from them.
Running around with insane abilities is nothing without a compelling setting, and the level designers obviously knew that. New York Zero is a gorgeous city whose imperfections have been coded with loving attention to detail and overall aesthetic. Every crack in the pavement and every hole in the building are all rendered with the utmost care. The same can be said for both the character models and enemy designs. While the NPC passerby are more or less drab, the main characters all look quite slick, with special notice needed to be given Heller's design. Moreso than Mercer, Heller's model is quite impressive, and always looks completely natural with the parasitic attachments his body grows. To top it off, his movement is fluid and realistic, making for a more believable "hero" than the previous protagonist. Overall, this is game is very pretty to look at, despite the ugly setting.
That's not to say it's all sunshine and daisies in this otherwise stellar game. What really holds Radical back this time around is the fact that their mission structure is questionable, to put it in kinder terms. Which is to say that many of the missions for the approximate first-third of the game are drearily repetitive, to the point where I thought my initial score for the game would be a good bit lower. The majority of these missions involve absorbing a Blackwatch trooper, infiltrating a base, and killing a new enemy/destroying something/absorbing somebody to gain information. It's a cool concept, but it soon wears thin, especially when considering that you're still doing these types of missions near the end of the game. For a game that houses gameplay so wonderful, it's a crying shame to see it getting bogged down by missions that lack creativity. And don't even get me started on the cookie cutter side-missions, which offer little to no incentive outside of gaining some extra experience points. This is a fun game, but the basic structure of the missions might have you believing otherwise at first. Don't worry, though, because when vehicles get introduced, much of this initial boredom is alleviated.
The only thing that never really improves is the music. I can't remember one bit of "Prototype 2"'s soundtrack, and I just finished the game last night. Nothing here is even remotely interesting to listen to. It's not really bad, per se, more than it is uninspired and very cliche. If you've listened to a big budget action movie with swelling orchestra pieces during crucial moments, then you've listened to the soundtrack for this game. What makes up for the lack of an original soundtrack is the phenomenal voice acting, which possesses the rare distinction of having a perfect actor for each and every role in the game. To be honest, that's one of the things that makes the plot more compelling. In the wrong hands, it would've been revenge tripe addled with cliches. Hats off to the voice director for preventing this work from falling into that lamentable pitfall.
A merely functional story, forgettable music and an often boring mission structure still don't hold back this unstoppable beast of a game when all is said and done. "Prototype 2" gives gamers more power than any superpower-driven open world game out there, and while it is nowhere near perfect, it's still a fun game that knows all of the sweet spots to hit. If you're willing to turn your brain off and just have a good time, few games come more highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I've been a fan of the first prototype ever since i've played it. Prototype 2 really steps it up from the first in all aspects. I have been following for a bit of what the developers have said the changes in this sequel and it delivered. The graphics got a big boost, the game definitely seems longer, combat system is even better, new combat skills with a boost to the same ones, and what I probably noticed right off is that the environment seems to be scaled quite well compared to the first. Even though there is a new protagonist there are still quite a few tie-ins from the first game. If you haven't played the first, but are interested in Prototype 2 I recommend playing, although there is a prototype recap on the menu (I haven't messed with yet).
So far from playing it there really hasn't been any cons at all besides a few tad nit-picky things. The story is better than the first overall, but it still kind of feels like the first in terms of a little repetitiveness and kind of goes off trail. I recommend trying to get the Radnet edition to make the game more worthwhile. I was thinking the game had challenges like the first one, but radnet gives you some new challenges each week (for now anyway depending on when you purchase). With completing the challenges you get a few new things in terms of content. I guess it is a little trade off since there is the blacknet side missions you can do.
*Update. The //Blacknet Side missions kind of tie in with the story line missions, but are optional. The game length will depend on how you play also, with the challenges slowly being unlocked on Radnet.
Oh and don't listen to Timetorise, definitely is a troll trying to be funny.
Update:
I also wanted to add that everything in Radnet Edition content is free even the 5 system themes you get that are coming up EXCEPT the 2 DLC: Colossal Mayhem Pack and Excessive Force Pack. The Colossal Mayhem (May 8th) will be 4.99$ on PSN and i'm guessing the Excessive Force Pack (May 29th) MIGHT be the same cost as well.
Update 2:
"Received" The First Freebie Thursday and installed the 2 wallpapers and I would consider them "Premium Themes" since there is animation on them, but doesn't change your XMB icons. They are cool nonetheless.

The reemergence of a deadly virus is loose in New York City. Its side effect is mutation and homocidal rage. The virus is actually a biological weapon developed by Gentek Corporation. The release of the virus is blamed on a Gentek scientist, Alex Mercer, when in actuality Gentek is running human trials on the populace. Gentek employed Blackwatch, a highly trained private military to enforce these trials and protect their employees.
Sgt. James Heller returns from his tour in Iraq to find his wife and daughter were killed by mutants after he had told them to trust Blackwatch to control the situation.
You are James Heller and you blame Alex Mercer for the death of your family. Upon returning to America you request duty in the heavily infected Red Zone. Feeling depressed over your family you go to the red zone to die. However, when you encounter Alex Mercer you become bent on revenge, but Alex Mercer has plans of his own.
You become infected, but the virus reacts differently within you and enables you to mutate your body into various weapons you'll use to kill and consume your prey. You'll be able to impersonate everyone you consume right down to their DNA.
To get the information you seek you will have to infiltrate military bases, commandeer APCs, tanks and helicopters, explore lairs of the infected mutants and you will have to kill...a lot.
This is open-world and as in any open-world game, detracting from the main story is decided by the player. With that said, some of these detractions are in forms of finding collectibles such as black box recording devices and tasks such as eliminating field operations teams. Performing these tasks will give you upgrades. You can place a waypoint to aid your search. Once close enough, you're notified on screen with an icon and distance meter. From there you must seek it out on your own. I like this concept because it gives some purpose and reward to exploring.
The interface is intuitive. Pull up your map, cycle through what's available in the area you select, set a waypoint and off you go. It does require two button presses to exit the map, but this is nothing to complain about. You will access the map frequently. The ability to place multiple waypoints would have reduced having to frequently access the map.
Controls are responsive and rarely are camera angles an issue. Heller's feet seem to adhere to verticle surfaces well, especially narrow surfaces. This solves a frustrating issue from the first game. In Prototype 1 trying to run up a narrow surface often resulted in falling off and causing you to utter some explicit words at your TV.
RADNET: Introducing RADNET was a great idea. It was a way to add fun to play content in the game while keeping them separate from the main story.
If you played the first Prototype you know there were things in the game that just didn't fit. Things like collecting glowing orbs for various reasons and other mini-games. It seemed like filler in an otherwise good game.
With RADNET these things are outside of the story and yet rewards gained from completing them are carried into the main game. It's a win-win. RADNET does require an internet connection.
Mission design flows well. The story unfolds gradually as you progress. It makes you want to continue to the next mission to discover more about the story.
As odd as it may sound, Prototype 2 feels more real than its predecessor. Not only are the graphics substantially improved, but I was able to slip into this world and lose track of time and reality. To me this is indicative that a game is doing something right. After all, games are not just entertainment, they are an escape, a way to experience things on an interactive level we likely will never see or do in real life. To that end Prototype 2 delivers.
There is repetition in that the searches for black boxes and field teams are the same in all areas. In fairness, the hunt for black boxes is alright because it makes you explore to locate them and rewards you when you find them all. I think the field team missions could have offered a bit more variety, but they fit with the story.
Prototype 2 improves on the first game with graphics, story and gameplay. It has music fitting the sequences of the missions. It's easy to get absorbed into the game and just have fun.
