STOP COMPARING THEM.
They are two sandbox games about two guys who get powers all of a sudden on rival consoles. How are we supposed to stop comparing them.
They are 2 completely different play styles so they can't be compared

Ok, I really hate comparisons between the two. That said, I've only played Prototype, and really do want to play inFamous, as it looks stellar as well.

I may have a bias, but Prototype always looked more exciting to me... and it certainly felt it, too.

Both r good, but infamous is better.

I like how people feel they can say one is better than the other yet they likely haven't played inFamous (due 2 console restrictions). It is hilarious.
Played both. On the same PS3, no less. [Prototype] is about a million times better, because it doesn't have MORAL CHOICES shoved down my throat, and a more engaging play style than "throw electricity grenade". I TRIED to play the damn game without Electricity Grenades, and you actually can't do it.

But mostly, it's the MORAL CHOICES that get to me.

I wonder what would happen if a THIRD open world super power game came out... what would become of the polls then?

Have u tried using the electricity rockets? they are way more effective than those grenades.
theres also like nothing that cant be destroyed with either the precision blast or the default electricity.
Also, both of the games are great, they both have their merits, inFamous is an exclusive so its bound to have less votes.
Il say prototype is more fun though. And i don't like the whole You must be catastrophically evil or cartoonishly righteous thing to get any good powers.
But at the end of the day, in inFamous you can call lightning down from the sky and control it with the sixaxis, which was TOTALLY awesome from my point of view.

Alex Mercer is the coolest guy ever. How is he unlikable? He's a total badass and all round awesome.

I'm fucking sick of this thread. Everybody knows that the Prototype vs InFamous is just about never going to be solved.

Please, no more versus topics about Infamous and Prototype. YES, they are both sandbox games, having superhuman powers. THAT'S IT! Other than that fact, they play completely different and cater to different types of gamers.

Hell, even I who has a PS 3 who can afford both of them see them in completely different terms. They're not clones. This is my summary to both to which category you want to go to.

[PROTOTYPE]
- shapeshifting
- all about infection
- all about the melee
- catering to the mindless fun of hack n' slash

inFAMOUS
- lightning powers
- all about conduits (people who have supernatural powers)
- all about the ranged weaponry
- catering to those who love outflanking and just blasting everything to death

He basically EATS DEAD PEOPLE! He kills pretty much everyone and he just is a bastard overall.
