Another shooter game...(crowd groans)...but wait! This one could be good (crowd cheers). There’s shape-shifting, non-linear gameplay and a rich storyline that will make up for a game that’s anything but the norm. Prototype is aimed to bring gamers something more than the vapid, gory experience most action-shooter titles have turned into, and that’s something worth writing about. “Radical Entertainment has a strong pedigree of critically acclaimed, best-selling open-world games, and Sierra Entertainment is excited to see them craft an original game that has already fired-up the imaginations of press and gamers alike,” said Martin Tremblay, president, Worldwide Studios for Sierra Entertainment. “PROTOTYPE represents the strength of Sierra Entertainment’s internal studios and our commitment to creating original and exciting games.” Prototype is an open-world game that puts players in the role of Alex Mercer, a mysterious warrior who is tied to a conspiracy that he must unravel, unfold, unwrap undo or whatever it is heroes do to stop conspiracies. “Radical Entertainment set out to create the most dynamic video game character ever imagined. From free-form movement to over-the-top combat action; PROTOTYPE can climb or wall-run across any surface, jump 30 stories high, and destroy anything that crosses his path,” said Kelly Zmak, president of Radical Entertainment. “Our team at Radical has built upon the technology that drove our previous best-selling games and now has the freedom to dream big and imagine a powerful character in a sprawling city like New York, cloaked in a conspiracy and ripped from today’s headlines.” Now I’m starting to get interested. You can check out the screenshots below and look for the game to hit store shelves during the summer 2008 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
