Prototype 2 (PC)

Prototype 2 is a video game set to launch on April 24, 2012 in North American and on April 27, 2012 in Europe. It is being developed by Radical Entertainment, a Canadian studio. The title is a sequel to the 2009 original game. Activision had published the original and will be publishing the sequel as well. While this is a sequel, it will be featuring a new protagonist in the person of Sergeant James Heller. He is on a mission to destroy the Blacklight Virus. Heller also has other motivations, such as revenge, because his family has been killed because of the virus outbreak. So, he intends to kill Mercer, who is the source.

The game has a third-person POV. It combines a story with an open world. Prototype 2 was announced at last year’s Spike VGAs. It was given the tagline “Murder your Maker.” What makes the fight between Alex Mercer and James Heller is that both of them can shapeshift and even assume other people’s identities and memories. The abilities have become tactical for both. Others react to every identity differently and Radical has made use of a great and new A.I. to make this possible. This same A.I. ensures that the player does not get overwhelmed by enemies. Heller uses weapons, sneaks up on human enemies  and has improved strength, agility, endurance and self-healing.
