Scratch

but dont click the link unless u actually play prototype or infamous ok?  because im not sure but i think it has some very bad language that is only suitable for those to actually handle the games ok?

infamous

actually its inFAMOUS, they could take over for apple with spelling skills like that, plus the pretty little electricity is no match for eating an old man taking over his appearance dropping off of a building onto his poor confused wife then before anybody knows what the hell u eat an army officer resume his appearance, then for lols accuse someone of being you, then while the officers are busy shooting him, eat them too 

yes zach thats the problem, the way it is seen by those who HAVENT played the game yet critisize it anyway (i dont mean you of course) but many others.  heres the thing, prototype is MEGA hard, i played on normal and im stilll having to replay levels like 20 times til i can finally beat them.  also the variety is based off how you play the game, there are like 10 different powers and you can pick whichever and do whatever you want.  you can cover yourself with armor and take out a blade arm thing and do a front flip off f a building onto a tank and crush it, or you can use the extendo tentacle thingy and hijaak a helicopter then shoot all of the other army friends (if your helicopter doesnt blow up that is from like the 50 other helicopters being sent at you, and the soldiers on the ground with their rocket launchers.
also the other variety comes from having two main groups of enemies, the army, and the infected.  there are lots of different infected, and lots of different military things they will send after you.  its actually quite difficult when ur ina battle with like 20 tanks and 10 hunters who are constantly trying to kill you and SUCCEEDING!

oh also in prototype its actually pretty similar with how you described infamous, he is given powers and he forgets his past etc... so hes trying to find out what happened to him before he was turned into this thing.  he doesnt really choose his path he is a good guy, who becomes bad because of the circumstance, hes * off at gentek basically.

he isnt almost impossible to kill though    well i mean if you have several strike teams, and a city full of infected then hes almost impossible to kill.

both games looked good but i picked inFamous.....i didn't regret the decision...they are both similar games...i didn't try to say prototype doesn't look really good, i am only really defending inFamous and Cole...the game is ALOT better than it looks...I didn't think inFamous was that great till' i played it...another large role that was in affect is that my brother said that inFamous was awesome and the guy at gamestop said that he personally liked inFamous more...

the guy at gamestop is a *, lol and i said prototype probably sold more copies because its available on more platforms, but yes infamous advertised more, fortunately prototype is too baddass to waste their time advertising alot.
