Prototype is a well-made game, but parts of it disturb me to no end. When you fire an assault rifle, the rounds sound more realilistic than most games, and the screams of civilians pierce the ears. When you pick a civilian up by the neck, listen to them plead for their lives, then throw them into a wall, seeing the blood splatter, hearing the head crush... This has to be the first game where I almost vomited while playing. Your guy with his tribal jacket and hoodie doesn't help diminish the feeling, either.
Other than that, it's Spider-Man meets The Hulk. Pretty decent running up buildings, gliding around, using your devastating powers to take out helicopters and tanks. Consuming people is a neat idea, and the way you absorb them somehow makes it feel less disturbing than it should be.
