There’s a full review to come of course, but if you’re not playing Prototype, I’d like to know why not.
Radical has succesfully combined Hulk:Ultimate Destruction, Mercenaries 2, and Dead Rising.
Smooth, precise control, massive damage inflicted, several styles for taking on enemies, hijacking tanks and helicopters and calling occasional airstrikes. What else do you want? Well, it manages (on consoles, the PC version has performance issues right now) to maintain a silky smooth framerate despite massive amounts on-screen.
Oh, and pretty great crowd AI. If you do one thing off, a few people run, more and they scatter en masse. Start real carnage, and you’ll see waves of people trying to flee. Applies to the infected as well, people just don’t seem to get along with them. The traffic is a part of it too, with cars slamming into reverse even to escape oncoming doom, avoiding pedestrians when they can, and generally being believable. Especially when dumb pedestrians run into traffic and get hit by cars.
Heehee.
Also of note, there’s a pretty solid amount of Gamestop ads, which isn’t a surprise. But there are also Game Crazy ads! It’s always nice to know if a game is going to get ads, at least they won’t be restricted to one annoying company. We get TWO companies we hate who are in competition! Awesome!
