Prototype

Prototype drops you into New York City as a superhuman with the ability to shapeshift and steal other people's powers. A secret war in New York City is linked to Alex Mercer's past, and a conspiracy threatens the fate of mankind. This open-world action game features a "deceive or destroy" gameplay where players control Alex, a genetically mutated shape-shifter, who must decide upon unleashing these powers or blending in with the public.
