Definitely Prototype. Has a distinct 'I'm the meanest mutha in town' vibe. Military is pretty much a joke in the game, you'll wade through like so much ants. There is a lot of freedom to not follow the mission and simply dick around. Some of the side mission can be challenging (although often a little fustrating to perfect).

Beautiful.  Next time I get some money together, then...

There are certain section of the game I'll label hard, I won't spoil the plot too much but you can guess from the picture that you'll be fighting more than the military. If you want back story then Mercer is one mean son-of-a-bitch; his ability outside of the game scope and going into the story territory is Cthulhu-nightmare-from-the-deep level scary. Again if I reveal too much I'd probably spoil the plot but as far as personality goes, I've never play such magnificent villain as Alex Mercer and had so much FUN doing it.

Sure there are like a bunch of people you liked in the game and you didn't kill EVERYONE, but really, you're still an amoral and somewhat sadistic killing machine that not only slaughter people without mercy but then proceed to EAT them and then ABSORB the dead man's memory and skills before using said skills against the dead man's friend, smiling in sadistic glee while wearing the dead man's face.

In short, you will slaughter the civilian, you will slaughter the military, you will even slaughter the other monsters because YOU ARE THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN DAMMIT!

And best of all, you WILL feel good about it because each kill will make you stronger, faster and just plain BETTER:

Now You are become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Finally, if you REALLY want, then you can also play the game like some kind of elite chameleon assassin, taking on the face and knowledge of your victim, sowing confusion and chaos among the enemy while killing them one by one. I like to imagine the fear running through these 'harden' military veterans as their number dwindle one by one until at last, there is but one man left, trembling in terror at the ghost town you just created before finally joining his comrade in eternal torment, his scream of terror cut short by a sick squelching noise: Alex Mercer has just become his immortal god.

SUFFER.

Just to drive home the point, here's a killing montage:

Sooo, hows that for a sales pitch? Interest? :D
