Prototype was an action-packed game that let you save the city of New York (that is, the parts of it you didn’t smash first). Protagonist Alex Mercer got infected with the Blacklight virus, giving him superhuman abilities including strength and shapeshifting.

Bennison said they had envisaged Prototype as a single-player game but the…
