Like with most things in life, a second opinion goes a long way. So we've rounded up five reviews from around the web to help out those who may still be undecided on the open world brawler, Prototype:

  • 1UP (B-) - "On a theoretical level it achieves a significant design accomplishment in pulling everything together into a cohesive package. As the person holding the controller, though, it stumbles too often on its inability to turn its potential into a consistently fun game. The result leaves every 'hell yeah!' it delivers costing a steep price in 'oh hells' to get there."
  • Eurogamer (7/10) - "Prototype is a game of riotous, gore-splattering ultraviolence. That's all it wants to be, and in many respects it does a solid, and often spectacular job."
  • Gamespot (8.5/10) - "This open-world action game set in Manhattan is proof that even viral outbreaks can be incredibly fun if they're done right."
  • Giant Bomb (4/5) - "Prototype is really all about player empowerment, ramping up the number and intensity of larger-than-life superhero abilities consistently as you go. If you've ever harbored fantasies about soaring over skyscrapers and going on destructive urban rampages involving wantonly thrown automobiles--and who among us hasn't, really--odds are you'll find a lot to like about this game."
  • IGN (7.5/10) - "Prototype is a game with many cool features. However, it lacks many of the finishing touches that make for a great and memorable game."
