How to Decide
Prototype 2 is best known for its massive open‑world New York setting with vertical traversal and a deep power‑absorption mechanic, and it’s aimed at mature action‑adventure gamers. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Infamous 2 leans into a moral‑choice system that alters story outcomes; Prototype emphasizes shapeshifting abilities that let you become any human or animal; Crysis 3 is distinguished by its robust multiplayer modes and nanosuit customization; Infamous: Second Son stands out with a lower price point ($19.99) and a diverse set of conduit powers such as smoke, neon, and video.
When weighing these games, focus on (1) the core ability system – whether you prefer Prototype’s enemy‑consumption, Prototype’s shapeshifting, Infamous’s electricity, Crysis’s nanosuit modes, or Infamous: Second Son’s conduit powers; (2) vertical traversal mechanics – from Prototype’s rooftop gliding to Infamous’s parkour and Crysis’s speed mode; (3) multiplayer availability – only Crysis 3 offers competitive/co‑op play; (4) narrative depth and player choice – Infamous 2’s moral karma and Infamous: Second Son’s branching outcomes contrast with the more linear stories of Prototype 2 and Prototype; and (5) price – the $19.99 entry for Infamous: Second Son versus the $59.99 price tag of the other titles.
