You seem to like co/op games so do you have a mate that you play with or something,never really bothered me regarding co/op.....

Only because I got fed up with playing at a huge disadvantage all the time. I can play a friend of mine on LAN and make him look like the clown player he really is. If I play him online he is virtually invincible. That's not sport to me and being fiercely competitive it winds me up something chronic. So I just decided not to even try to compete anymore.

No more clowns, no more stress. Simples.

Saw an advert for this on youtube earlier with Johnny Cash's version of Hurt - love that song!

Yeah i love that track also might download it now you mention what name it is,just of to pick up my copy of prototype 2.

Well i picked it up today and firstly i have to say it has one of the nicest intro to a game i have seen in a long time but as soon as the game starts you could be playing the 3 year old first game here as the graphics are not what Radical led us to believe they would be.

This does not look like a new updated engine and the graphics are good but not that impressive,put it this way it wont be winning any game of the year award in this department or any other for that matter.

The games a blast lets not forget this and its my type of game,its one of those when you can play it for 30 minutes switch of and do something else.

What has changed is the new mapping system when trying to track certain people that need consuming,this in my opinion is the most confusing thing in this game and i dont know if its me been plane stupid or the fact i just dont get how this works.

When you click the left xbox 360 controller stick you send out a pulse,like sonar or radar and this is suppose to lead you to your target.

I have spent the best part of 3 hours trying to figure out this and wandering around for ages,on 2 occasions i have found what i am looking for but i personally think it was just luck as this method of finding people for me anyway is totally confusing.

It got so bad tonight i even done a search in Google to find out exactly how this pulse is suppose to work as I'm totally in the dark.

On one mission it was kind of pointing me out to a destroyed bridge at sea [well i think it was] but i do not have the flight power to get to the broken bridge if this was the correct way in the first place.

Once i have sussed out this stupid pulse for finding people i am sure i will have a blast but if i played it today for 4 hours then 3 have been total frustration trying to find my so called target.

Dont think i will be actually playing this much once Max and Ghost arrive lets put it that way,overhall good game,not brilliant graphically but confusing with the map function

Well, can't help you with the human consumption finder thing but I wondered if you would agree with this review's summary:

Pros

• Agressive superpowered combat
• Good selection of destructive powers
• Makes you feel like a badass

Cons

• Missions lack variety
• Uninspired characters and story
• Game world not totally convincing

It's basically the impression I got from watching trailers, that despite the glamour, things would quickly get repetitive and a bit boring. That's why the game doesn't really do it for me as much as I wanted to like it.

Finally Spook i have sorted out the tracking system after countless hours of frustration.they could have made it far easier but now i am enjoying the game.

Agree with most cons except the last one as the game world is a vast open space and looks pretty realistic to me.

Its Prototype and the missions are very much the same thing over and over but the games a lot of fun which i enjoy.

Biggest gripe for me apart from the initial stupid tracking device [pulse thing] would be the graphics,game in all truth looks no better than the first 3 years ago.

Anyway of to Italy i go so catch you guys next week when i dare say i will come back and see about 1 post from either Spook or Mrnelster.

Blockbusters are doing some good deals on games and Max Payne 3 is cheaper than that of shopto.net just like there prototype was £5 cheaper.

Yea SPOOK that pretty much sums up Prototype 1 lol. But like T2D says it's strangely addictive even though the missions are repetitive. I guess it's just the flying and scaling up walls that I enjoy and then the mindless destruction. Still going to pick a copy up over the weekend and see how it is!!

Yeah, this is what I thought (mindless fun bit) and I really enjoyed Just Cause 2 for all that but I wasn't sure about the character so much.

Well, see ya when you get back from Italy (you lucky sod).

Arrivederci!
