Picked up 3D Dot Game Heroes from GAME and LittleBigPlanet from Ebay (AU $30). Not bad

It should work but you may (probably will) experience issues with their DRM. If you do, you can always search the net and find the method of bypassing this.

Once reviewer said (cant' remember the review) that the game really shines in multiplayer and track editing and that the single player was lacking (load times, cheat/harsh AI) (mind you, the load times are just as bad in multiplayer).

Just an FYI, I picked up FF at GAME Innaloo in Perth, they price matched Kmart's $82.

My opinion on this activity is that if people exploit the system too much, the stores will become cluey of our behaviour (and such websites) and cease to provide example deals. Just remember, be fair on the store and to others who may want to use this trade bait, don't go trading in heaps of copies for your own personal gain!

Cheers for the input Kristijan. I was hesitant to put up those user reviews, mainly because of the source, but when you combine them, you get a decent idea about how the game plays and who may enjoy it. Hopefully there will be some legit reviews out soon so we can gather a better idea. Myself however, after seeing the trailers, will be skipping this title for the time.

From my post on Palgn.com.au

From what I gather from other certain forums, the undercover type that deal in illicit game releases, Prototype is rather disappointing. This may be why there are no reviews out to date. That being said, some people on that forum do like the game, however, their reasoning is either a) it was *free*, or b) mindless action.

This is from one particular forum member;
This is a game for the people who want a Crackdownesque game with more focus on superpowers rather than gunplay. Just like Crackdown you won't see the real fun in the game unless you keep at it for an hour or two and get a few new powers unlocked.

I'm enjoying it through and through, sure it's so over the top that I can't even think of a good enough superlative for it but as long as you're cool with that this game delivers. It's action, action, action and more action. I find the getting around quite smooth and streamlined, sort of a parkourgame on crackcocaine. The animations while climbing, flying and running are quite good in my opinion, they fill the gaps between the aforementioned modes of transportation very well.

The graphics is.. well, it certainly isn't terrible but it sure isn't great either, this could have been done five years ago graphicswise. On the plusside though is that I haven't noticed any slowdowns and from time to time there can be an assload of characters on the screen at the same time which is pretty cool.

You get to experiment with a wide array of powers and, since it's an over the top game, the protagonist basically has every single power you'd want from a superhero
There's the Wolverine-like claws, the Mystique-like doppelganger-tricks, Spiderman-like vertical and horizontal wallrunning, flying (well gliding, but almost), extreme strength (throw a semi trailer across a couple of blocks) and much much more. If the powers aren't enough you get to play with a couple of weapons and vehicles, it's all right but it's been done before and it's been done better.

I don't think the productionvalues are all that bad? The CGI/Movies you get for unravelling the plot are nicely done and plentiful. The story is, while unoriginal, not terrible and there's plenty of sidechallenges to keep you occupied. Sure if you stand still in one spot and observe the graphics, sounds, traffic, NPC's and so on you'd be heavily disappointed if you compared to GTAIV and the like but this isn't that sort of game. It's a fastpaced, devil may care, freeroaming superpower beat em up.

I'd recommend this to pretty much anyone, it's fun, it's fast and it's one of those games where the more you play the more cool stuff you learn to do (think Assassins Creed once you really got hang of the climbing and running etc). Personally I'm enjoying this more than I enjoy Red Faction although Red Faction is probably the overall better game. I can't endorse the guys saying this is GOTY but I certainly don't agree with the ones who says it's ****. It's a 7.5/10 game easily enough.

From another user:
This definitely seems to be a hit or miss kind of game. I played until day 6 so far and I have read much about the graphics and the controls being mediocre at best, as well as the story being generic and dumbed-down. Someone mentioned "production values", which to me always translates to "I want to see that much money is behind this game". I might be wrong about that, not being a native speaker and all, maybe a definition of production values (or some googling on my part) is in order.
- The voiceover work is fantastic, escpecially for a game of supposedly "limited" budget. Especially the secondary characters, e.g. the two guys in the autopsy room or the military radio chatter and the ground troops yelling "Kill the motherfrecker!" etc. - exceptionally well done in my opinion.
- The main story script... well I haven't digested most of it, but it does seem a little lacking in the mission incentive department, I admit. The main character - the guy that saved our world in the Battlefield Earth movie! - can come across a little cheesy, but that was the case with Bionic Commando, too. In fact, it's even worse there because they try to justify the bad dialogue with try-hard tongue-in-cheek lines in between. Mike Patton or not, that one's story could have been MUCH better. Loved the swinging though...
- The web of whatever cutscenes are fantastic, the overall art direction and the inclusion of real-world images/video really make me take that detour to get the next node. The distorted visual effects and disturbing images remind me of the intro/outro to Dawn of the Dead 2004 or even the Jenova scenes in Final Fantasy VII, the blending/shifting sound layers complement the images.

One last one...
1. The world sucks. you are just thrown into this world that looks s!!!, is messy and just boring as hell. The city in GTA3 is more detailed and interesting.
2. Game controls are terrible. Run with R and shoot with X? Is this a F!!!!!! soccer game? It is almost impossible to actually do anything you want to. Everything just happens the way it want's to. the aim is horrible (lock on aiming needs to die) and the camera is slow as hell.
3. Animation is ****py, the collisions are even worse and the powers and gimmics could have been thought up by a 3-year old.
4. Seriously, throwing cars is not cool anymore. they did that 5 years ago. I don't want it to be as simple as s!!! to do all this over the top stuff.
5. The whole game has a REALLY low budget fell to it. It reeks of bad game design, absolutely no sense of inovation.
I had more fun looking at a video of infamous (and I do not like sony or the ps3) than i had playing this s!!! for almost an hour.
"you want to throw a car at a helicopter? Sure, just press B then L and then B again. Now try it with your eyes closed"
And no, there has not been any reviews of this game from legit sources yet. As of last week, no major sites or magazines has even seen anything more than breif glimps of gameplay. I wonder why?


Hope that helps those who are wanting to pick this up but are apprehensive due to the lack of reviews.

True, especially on the hypocrisy of some retailers not accepting non-AUS PAL games but selling them!

I believe the trading of imported PAL games is largely at the discretion of the Customer Service Representative. Furthermore, the primary interest of these stores that perform trade ins is to turn a profit, but also not to be taken advantage of. I have traded imported UK games over the past couple of months at a variety of stores, some even mentioned on this website, without any hassle what so ever. However, my trades always comprise of both UK and AUS games, so perhaps this is a reason why. My advice, be nice, don’t take advantage of retailers, and if they don’t do the trade, go elsewhere.

Woot. It arrived today! So... Shipped 27th May, arrived 5th June (Perth); 10 days exactly if you include the shipping day, delivery day, and weekend. Nicely packaged, each game in its own separate brown box. I recommend them
