Right got it as promised and loving every second of it. The start is great fun going in with all the powers and blowing up tanks and helicopters all over the shop.
After about an hour or so i decided to go exploring and then it hit me, i'd done this before. Running around New York, leaping from building to building, collecting "landmark" tokens, finding "hint" bubbles lying around, performing little side missions that mean landing in a certain spot, or getting over a set course.
This is Spiderman 2.
There's obviously a graphical change but gameplay wise there's not a whole lot different, Tanks and Helicopters aside. Imagine playing Spiderman 2 with the liquid terminator and throw in a tiny dash of Mercenaries and you have Prototype.
Now i love the game, which doesn't surprise me as i love all the sandbox games, it's great fun and trying to put together your past keeps you going. Graphics aren't groundbreaking but that doesn't matter, there is so much to do that it will keep you occupied and entertained for hours on end.
But there's always this nagging feeling that you've done this all before.
