Template:Infobox Prototype (series)

Key points

Widely criticised as being a very poor PC port with a very large number of issues.[1][2]
Poor sales of the game on console platforms has resulted in Radical Entertaintment being essentially shut down. The long-term effects of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[3]
Controller is highly recommended.

USB devices crash game

Some keyboards (and likely other input devices) may cause Prototype 2 to crash while attempting to load the game (brief black screen, follow by a crash-to-desktop).
Devices with additional USB ports for connecting peripherals may be responsible for the problem.
