The whole "Prototype looks to be better then Infamous!" thing baffles me. Prototype in my opinion looks terrible. That is just my opinion. Yet I feel that some of you haven't even looked at what both games are offering for the most part.

Ive heard"Infamous looks repetitive"......really? How does Infamous look anymore repetitive then Prototype? In fact, Infamous has MORE stuff for you to do then prototype as a character. Look...

Prototype: leap building in a single bound, fly, morph arms into sword, morph arms into giant fists, run up buildings, tentacle manipulation, transform into others.

Infamous:scale buildings AC style, cover system, lightning blasts from hands, grenade like electric projectiles, electric body armor, electrify melee attacks, EMP(electromagnetic pulse)blasts, drain people, revive people, handcuff people with electricity, draw power from electronics. You even can read small glimpses of people's minds just before they die.

And thats not even mentioning the Karma system in place in Infamous. Prototype is simply mass destruction without probable basis. Infamous also is better slightly graphically from what I've seen. I am not saying Prototype will be garbage or anything, but it most certainly will not be more well received then InFamous.

You missed a lot you can do in Prototype.... using the same basis

For example... take any weapon from anybody in the game.... including tanks, helicopters, machineguns etc. (this list alone likely would beat your entire list... since you are counting each attack as it's own feature.)

Use different peoples appareances to play off one side vs the other.

Create body armor that completly alters the way your character plays, instead of being super fast, you can be a brusier who runs through cars and knocks them out of the way.

All sorts of other defensive powers

Throw objects like cars at people.

Do all sorts of crazy flips naturally as you run.

An entire set of tracking powers and sensory powers

Knock people around then ride there body as they go flying.

There is a lot more.  Just watch some of the more indepth walkthroughs they've had of the Alpha.

Prototype just looks more fun as well... because it's not constrained by the over the back camera.

I'd bet Infamous will get better reviews.

I'd still put my money on Prototype being the far more fun game.
