Red Faction is a billion times better than Prototype, and that's just talking about the single player.  Thinking back on Prototype, it's shit for the first couple hours and the last couple hours.  You're left with a fun couple of hours in the middle.  Red Faction has problems towards the end too, but never as bad as Prototype.

Is red faction actually good?  Outside the destruction the gameplay seemed like nothing special.

Well, you can't really say "outside of the destruction" since that's the core of the game. It's a really strong core, though. I had to take a break from it because it all started to blur together and the swarming of enemies started to wear on me, but at least it was a hell of a lot of fun for a few hours. And supposedly the MP is really good too.

As for Prototype, I really fucking hate Mercer. I knew I would dislike him, but not this much. Shit VA writing and direction, shit jacket, shit collars, shit boots, shit everything. Not that RFG or even Infamous had particularly awesome main characters, but this is on a whole new level of shit.

Tried a side mission in Prototype, and I guess I was supposed to chase down some selected targets in the area, and kill them. It also had a time limit. This game just can't seem to be anything but aggressively mediocre.

Oh, and any critic who has referenced either Crackdown or Infamous when reviewing Prototype should be sent to gulag for critical incompetence. The game is just Hulk UD with claws and gun.

Yeah, Red Faction is awesome. Quite unexpected...

Prototype is very average.
It looks like shit, it plays like shit. But the powers are pretty ok.
The game gets boring very fast.

RFG is just as repetitive, but the core of the game is strong enough to carry the repetition. This meat grinder shit, on the other hand, gets old real fast. Maybe if it had an engaging story or reasonably likable, interesting characters and enemies, but I haven't seen anything of that sort yet. And that's not for a lack of opportunity, as this game packs a shitload of cut-scenes. Which, incidentally, feel like they were penned by high school students one creative outlet away from a bloody rampage.

Sometimes it's fun to be fast and powerful and feel like a walking meteor, but....the missions suck, the enemies suck, pacing sucks, story sucks and like Duckman said it's not like they didn't spend money on cut scenes and shit, it's just that the story sucks.

And  :wtf is up with the triple collar thing? If I was a monster dude who could rip shit apart like that, I'd definitely be sporting a wife beater and track pants.

Well, they should be getting another one in on Monday. Oh, and

And as usual, Gamefly is too low stocked on the game to ship it out. Fuck.

Too bad the game is shit, or I'd gloat about it.

The Gamespy review is pretty much spot on.

Playing the PC version, seems about the same as all the videos portrayed it to be: Mindless, repetitive chaos with ugly graphics.

Much more fun than Infamous, btw. Which is about as boring and repetitive as a sandbox game can get.

That review might as well be describing the HULK movie game I keep ranting about, so if the Hulk UD dev can't do any better, I'll just finish the chaotic, repetitive, ridiculous story game that I've already bought and suffered 86% through, and call it even. Oh, well. At least everyone seems positive about The Other Superhero Game, inFAMOUS. I'll just have to pick up a PS3 to play it. :-/

Until you realize that there's really no where to run to.
