PH
Prototype is a non-linear action video game developed by Radical Entertainment. The game was released in North America on June 9, 2009, and in the southwestern part of North America and Oceania on June 10 of the same year, also being released days later, on June 12, in Europe.
The game is set in Manhattan, New York City, and focuses on the population being infected by a virus that the military is trying to eliminate. The game's protagonist is Alex Mercer, who possesses the powers of absorbing humans (military personnel, civilians, and important characters from the plot's memory) and physical transformation. He can acquire memories, experiences, biomass, and physical forms of enemies through absorption. Alex can also alter himself into specialized forms for attack, defense, or heightened sensitivity. All of these combined are intended to give the player multiple ways to complete their objectives. Parallel to the main storyline is the possibility of playing it in a sandbox style, giving the player complete freedom to explore New York.
