Though I haven't played the original Prototype (Note: my last console was an NES), I would actually like to play this game based on this cutscene. It looks fun.

From the unskippable for the first prototype it seems that Mercer is addicted to walls with barbed wire at the top that he can barely leap over.

New strategy: place said walls around the city with lots of spikey explosive bits behind them

The games are pretty fun, as it happens.

"whats black and white and red all over?"
"ummmm this game?"

Also I was hoping for "marshal law, you mean that guy from techen?"

Hang on... if he had the bandolier of shotgun shells on him, why was he only brandishing a knife the whole time he was in the transport? Was there even a shotgun anywhere near him?

Or did he need them because he knew red was the only color that would be showing up at the time?

Maybe they're cleverly disguised Oreo rations?

But yeah, the first Prototype was quite fun, it had quite a good sand-boxy feel to it where you could just run off and mess things up in a city flirting with the apocalypse.
Plot-wise there wasn't really anything substantial going on, but the ability to absorb anybody and acquire their appearance by itself is almost worth the bargain bin price it'll probably go for by now.

What if Alan Turing came up with the test because he was actually a robot and wanted people to find out?
