Listed below are some titles which are identical to the above mentioned game in more ways than one. So without much further ado, let’s jump right into the list and see what these titles have on offer for you.
1 – Saints Row IV
From outside appearance, Saints Row IV is extremely identical to Radical’s beauty in terms of the superpowers such as leaping up the sides of buildings, gliding through the air and more. And rest assured that you’ll get the same kind of thrills which you’ve come to love. This game transpires in the fictional city of Steelport, and tells the story of the Saints fighting an alien invasion which has hit the earth and has left them trapped in simulations. Classic Saints Row humor is available huge quantities, while different mini-games and pop culture references which too are a highlight of the series have also been taken care of by its makers as well. It’s out now for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
2 – Batman: Arkham City
The kind of free roaming which you expect from all games similar to Prototype is present within Batman: Arkham City. This mind-blowing game is an absolutely magnificent take on the caped superhero, containing unforgettable scenarios and characters, thanks mostly to its writing. Arkham City is a crime-filled setting in which you are required to play the role of Batman, allowing you to glide with your Batsuit and use your grapnel gun to instantly move through the environments. Batman: Arkham City features an utterly involving combat system as well. It’s out now for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac and Wii U.
3 – inFamous 2
As we await the release of its next-gen sequel, we look at this predecessor and marvel at the beautiful memories it had left us with back in 2011. Developed by the geniuses over at Sucker Punch Productions, it lets you wield crazy superpowers which are based on electricity. Protagonist Cole MacGrath can slide on electricity cables, throw electrocuting projectiles, hover using electromagnetic powers and a lot more. The karma system in this PS3-exclusive grants it open-ended gameplay and story elements.
4 – Just Cause 2
The experience of Just Cause 2 can be summed up in two words – grappling hook. This accessory gives its main character the ability to traverse in the most unusual of ways. During missions as well as in free roam mode, it presents you with immense possibilities for going about your business. Just Cause 2 is a game that’s defined by its grappling hook more than anything else. Although it’s a single-player title, a now-official mod converts its PC version into a multiplayer extravaganza. Apart from the said platform, it’s also purchasable for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
5 – The Amazing Spider-Man
This game is a tie-in to the film of the same name, and acts as an epilogue to it. The sort of free-roaming and web-slinging which you’d expect from a Spider-Man video game is all there within the game. Navigating through its environments is an absolute treat, and so is indulging in its free-flowing combat. And that’s what makes it such a wonderful Prototype alternative. It can be bought now for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PS Vita and Wii U.
6 – The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
From one Marvel superhero to another, we give you The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Although released way back in 2005, this game still holds relevance for those looking for games similar to Prototype. And it’s developed by the same folks who’ve given us the said game. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction takes place in an open world environment, and what makes navigating through these amazing locations such a memorable experience is this title’s unstoppable movement system which allows the monster to run across walls, climb vertical surfaces as well as leap to huge heights and distances. During combat, Hulk can make use of various environmental objects such as cars and airplanes to his advantage. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction can be played on the PS2, Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube.
7 – X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Another movie tie-in and yet another Marvel game in this list is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Released in 2009, it’s primarily a hack and slash offering which rides heavily on its incredibly polished combat. Playing the role of Wolverine, you are provided with the power of his Adamantium claws and many other abilities which make the game an enjoyable offering to indulge in. X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been blessed with amazing environments, and its different types of enemies too contribute towards providing a memorable experience. Although it’s available for other platforms, its Uncaged Edition for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC is the best among them all.
