We Love It's Guide to…

Prototype 2

You play as Sgt. James Heller, a soldier infected by a virus who sets out across New York Zero to hunt Alex Mercer. The city is divided into militarized, overcrowded, and heavily infected zones. Run across buildings, leap through the city, and fight soldiers and infected creatures with shape-shifting biological weapons. You can consume people to take their appearance and access their memories, helping you infiltrate enemy groups and track targets. Hunt targets, take on missions, and explore for collectibles and other activities that develop Heller’s abilities. Unlock mutations to improve his powers, movement, and disguise skills as you progress.

As infected soldier James Heller, hunt across quarantined New York, consume enemies, disguise yourself, and unleash shifting bio-weapons.
