it's as if Prototype have become a 360 exclusive all of a sudden just because of infamous. The console war keeps on amazing me

Crackdown should be the title XBox fanboys bring up.  It has a few edges over iNFAMOUS.  I will say inFAMOUS is generally better all the way around though.  I have no idea about Prototype, and not that interested in it.  I will say inFAMOUS is excellent though (I did sneak a peak the ending, and I let out a groan on how it looks cliched), and what I want in a sandbox game involving super powers.

How so?


xbox fanboys say its better than imfamous.

and PS3 fanboys say infamous is better than prototype.

As someone arguably in the XBox side of things (see below, thought I would add a PS3 thing down there if I figured it out), I don't see how Prototype would be better than inFAMOUS.

@slumsofohio

they did that because they did not want this game reviewed during e3.

@onna76

it is only one review!(and why do people keep comparing it to infamous?)

@hunter_alien

It really is. This is a anti-sandbox sandbox game. If you don't like the BS most sandbox games come with like side missions and "collect this form there" missions, this game is for you.

There are still collect missions but they are action packed...especially later on. Anyone playing, please don't pay on easy as its waay to easy. Most side missions are pretty fun...such as hit all checkpoints in shortest time by blazing through the rooftops, or having to absorb a certan person and collect their memory within 2 minutes.

Should be a solid 15 hour gaming experience that is never a darg like most sandbox games.

Infamous done pretty good on metacritic. scoring 85. Not AAA but great nonetheless.
I expect Prototype to score around 79. Infamous is the better game.

EDIT: Prototype is 83 metacritic atm. So it's closer than I thought.

I don't get it. IGN and Eurogamer aren't added to the ps3 version.... anyone know why?

I'm guessing it's because they gave it the same score, and they will add it later?

They were never given a PS3 version to review, only the 360 version was given to them.

More reviews. Not that great.

this would be so weird if one ended up above 90 and the other didn't just because IGN and a few other sites didn't get the PS3 version for reviewing
