Test Chamber – Prototype 2

Happy new release day, gamers! If you haven't been following the news, Radical Entertainment's Prototype 2 hit store shelves this morning. If you played through the first game, odds are you haven't been paying attention to the development of this sequel. The first game was a rough ride, and while early reports for the sequel were lukewarm, Game Informer's Bryan Vore says that this second attempt is everything the first game should have been in his review. Bryan joined me to take a look at this game's robust combat system and improved stealth play. This spoiler free tour informs you of everything you need to know about the game. We even detail all of the new hazmat suits, which are apparently used to create lemonade.

  • Preordered and will be played in 1 hour, can't wait!

  • Huh...the commercial looked really stupid, but the game itself looks interesting...

  • Definitely enjoying a weekly edition of Test Chamber.  The videos with two people speaking are much easier to understand then other videos such as Replay with so many people speaking over each other.  

  • I actually DID enjoy the first game. I thought the review on it was a bit harsh. I felt like it was more of an 8 than a 7.25 but whattever, you know what they say about opinions. That said, I'm very pleased this one got a better score. Pretty much makes it a must-buy for me.

  • This looks very similar gameplay wise to inFamous, but much less interesting narrative wise. I'm personally going to pass on this one.

  • Looks pretty cool, love how fluid things look! Also, absolutely love test chamber! It fills the void in my heart that Reiner and Phil left!
  • Everything I've seen on this makes it seem like an improved version of the first.  I'm looking forward to playing it.  It seems like he should have stopped playing so he could answer the questions better.  Being sidetracked by the game can't be a bad thing.

  • I need to get this right now.

  • Hmm. While I had some fun with the first game, especially since it was my first real experience with a 360, this still looks enjoyable. I'll be checking it out within the next couple of days.

  • Nice video.  I love these gameplay videos.  Keep them coming!

  • Who knows, I actually might check this game out sometime.  If it's half as good as Infamous, then I think it's worth trying.

  • I'm so proud of you Reiner for moving on with Test Chamber. Phil would be proud

  • It was like watching Replay since I watched this after I started playing it.

  • Blacklight Soldier: Holy crap did you see what happened to steve!!

  • "I don't want to cause an alert" *jumps higher then possible with streaks of red flowing behind you*

  • Looks pretty ool, I don't know if I'm going to check it out though...

  • Great episode! Prototype 2 looks much better then the original and actually playable. I'm highly excited to pick this one up.

  • looks better than i thought. Reminds me a whole helluva lotta Hulk Ultimate Destruction (ps2/xbox)though. Not a bad thing, i remember that game being awesome. might actually check it out.

  • You guys need someone a little more upbeat to run test chamber with.

  • Never really paid much attention to the Prototype series. This game looks like it would be a lot of fun for just a few days. That ending move for the show was actually really cool but mostly it just seems like any other game today, enjoyed this Test Chamber.
