Visually striking and variation are just a couple of things infamous did better than prototype.

If they got the same score, there must be other areas where prototype was better than infamous.
They never said Infamous was a better game.

I think that those two things are really important to the game so that's probably why I wasn't sure about the scores. I need to go back and read the infamous review to see what they marked off.

The problem with sites like IGN and Eurogamer, is that all the reviews aren't by one person, creating an understandable sense of inconsistancy.

yeah. that's how it is for this site as well. Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia: Epilogue were done by 2 different contributors but they were done by 2 different people as well.

@Kasz, thank you. I was feeling a little lazy. yeah...I don't have any issues with those things in the game but I can see how other people would.

They also had the same problem I've always feared about Infamous.

"After an interesting start, however, inFamous loses its way considerably in the middle third, and certain things begin to dawn on you. If you rub away the labels, for instance, most of the abilities Cole can deploy in attack are just analogues for traditional third-person weaponry. The default zap attack is a rifle round, the heavier one is a rocket launcher, the grenade is a grenade, and the precision shot is a sniper scope with slow-motion."

Reading both reviews it sounds like Infamous is the better put together game.... but prototype is more fun.  (According to Eurogamer.)

Just based by the reviews it sounds like if anything Infamous is the one that should be ranked lower by them.  But hey with a 10 point rating system that's really a 6 point rating system you do what you can.
