Prototype 2 no virus11/23/2023 What about Superman, you ask? Heller would simply eat him to learn his secrets. In fact, I’m fairly sure that James Heller could kick Batman’s cosplaying ass, and rip Spider-Geek in half with a wedgie of such force it would have to be measured in kilotons of TNT. He has no weaknesses, he can assume any human form (as long as he previously ate them to learn their secrets), he can leap tall building, or failing that, he can run up their sides, ignore bullets, reflect rockets back at their previous owners, glide for long distances, throw cars hundreds of feet, destroy armored vehicles by throwing people into them, or by simply ripping them to shreds as easily as you or I open a can of beer. And here’s the thing - it out superheroes every other superhero game I’ve ever played in the past. So yeah, even though I don’t think anyone would consider Prototype 2 a “superhero” game in the same vein as Batman’s “Arkham” games, or Spiderman’s various digital incarnations, Prototype 2 really is, deep down in its heart, a superhero game nonetheless. He is, in effect, turned into a superhero - a dark 90’s era Marvel-style superhero - and if you told me that the Prototype franchise is based on a series of comic books from the 90’s, I’d simply nod my head in smug satisfaction. So heaping, in fact, that Heller becomes an unstoppable fire storm of hot death that rains destruction down on anything he wants - be it animal, vegetable, or mineral. In his grief, he goes after Prototype 1’s protagonist, Alex Mercer however, when he finally confronts Mercer, all he gets for his trouble is his own heaping dose of the Mercer Virus. Not super mutants, mind you, just shuffling low damage zombie mutants. You see, during another outbreak of the “Mercer Virus” his wife and daughter failed to get out of New York City fast enough and were killed by the newly infected mutants. Despite its many niggling flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed every single second I was behind the wheel of recently widowed Sergeant James Heller. Let me just get this out in the open right now: Prototype 2 is the most fun I’ve had gaming in a very long time.
