"Prototype" follows the story of Alex Mercer, an amnesia stricken experiment. As the game opens Alex finds himself on the experimentation table with absolutely no recollection of his past. The confused prototype emerges from an underground lab deep within the heart of New York City, only to discover that there is much more going on in the outside world.
With no knowledge of where he came from or whether he is even human Alex is forced to kill to discover his past and avenge what has been done to him. He soon discovers he has the ability to absorb the the ones he kills, taking their memories, abilities, and even their appearance.
Above these new found talents Alex is suddenly thrown into a war between three different powers. The Black Watch Special Forces, a horribly viral mutated populace, and the prototype himself all wage war in the streets of New York City.
The entire game is revolved around a giant conspiracy in which the developers explain is designed to reflect real world government information secrets.
After the developers behind "Hulk: Ultimate Destruction" were praised with their success in the popular game, the designers were given the opportunity to create their own game.
With the ability to absorb any NPC the player kills, the possibilities are endless. If the player chooses to integrate a pilot within him, he suddenly has the knowledge to fly one of the many helicopters chasing him along the streets. Wikipedia
