@ Zen: How come you rate GiantBomb when it was founded by Jeff from gamespot, the one you hate? I know it has other staff than just him, but still...
@ twesterm: lasting appeal and hours offered are two different things. If something gets repetitive or boring very quickly, then you're gonna stop playing fairly soon, whether it still offers a dozen further hours or not.
On-topic:
7.5 overall isn't a bad score. The individual scores like graphics and presentation took a hammering (and rightly so, the graphics look absolutely pants), but it's still not an "ouch".
Prototype has been getting lots of incredibly high reviews (albeit that some of them are from obscure outlets I'd never heard of before), so in the grand scheme of things this IGN review won't swing anything out of balance.
