After seeing the game this past NY Comic Con, I believe it certainly has a lot of potential. Reminding me about that Incredible Hulk game released not too long ago, Prototype has it's own vibe, so to speak. Activision has just released an official date for the game, something we can look forward too. With Arkham Asylum and Ghostbusters releasing in the same month, will Prototype get lost in the shuffle?

PROTOTYPE lets gamers feel the power of being the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. You are the PROTOTYPE: Alex Mercer – a genetically mutated man without memory, armed with amazing shape-shifting abilities, hunting to discover what created you and determined to make those responsible pay. As Alex, gamers tear through a densely populated contemporary New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity, consuming anybody that gets in their way…assuming their physical form, memories and abilities. Fueled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch (military) and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy 40 years in the making!

PROTOTYPE is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the BBFC with an expected “18” rating and will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Games for Windows® and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system.

Prototype will be releasing on June 5th in Europe and June 9th in America.
