prototype vs infamous

Oooooo can of worms you opening.
Personally, inFamous has great gameplay and a great story.
Plus you sit with some pretty cool powers.

Prototype, its good..... I guess.
Just never kept my attention for more than 20minutes. Gameplay aint too bad, can go on a rampage and just destroy everything in your path. Great mindless fun! Lots of powers available but I just got bored with it quickly.
 
Only have time for one sandbox game at a time and chose Infamous. Awesome game, but i can really only handle sandbox games in doses of maybe one per year. So Prototype might be a shoe-in this time next year. (and for a whole lot cheaper too..)
 
I prefer prototype - seems to have a darker deeper story.

Where the characters in inFamous are more kiddie-cartoon.

I've got both and havent put down Prototype since starting it.
Dont get me wrong inFamous seems quite cool as well.
 
inFamous you have to climb up a building.
Prototype I can run up a building with a car in my hand. :D

inFamous im stuck with electricity,
Prototype I can choose between claws, hammerfists, Blades or do it by using stealth
and consuming someone's identity.

Also in prototype i can hijack tanks or skyjack helicopters to add to the mayhem.
 
inFAMOUS was ****ing awesome for about six hours. Then I realised it was really just repeating itself, and I still had to slither from windowsill to windowsill to scale a wall. And that all I was really doing, over and over, was flipping the switch at the exchange.

In Prototype, you're also doing the same crap over and over. But you can charge straight up a skyscraper, dragging a person with you, and eat them at the top. And when you're done chomping, you can fly kick a helicopter.

Having played both, the more laborious navigation does seem a strange design choice for inFAMOUS. I mean, all it really does is waste time between the bottom and the top. I mean, that glide ability you get later on is pretty cool, but it's not enough to really speed stuff up. Elsewhere, Prototype's occasional difficulty spikes kinda diminish some of the game's fun.

I have to say, however, that I'm wildly in love with the way inFAMOUS looks. It's really an absolutely knock-out game in that department. I'm seldom one to go ga-ga over graphics, but inFAMOUS is really quite extraordinary.

I can't say I much preferred one over the other, really.
