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 Entertainment being essentially shut down. The long-term effects of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[3]
A controller is highly recommended.

Issues unresolved

No shadows with AMD/ATI graphics cards

Prototype 2 has a similar bug as with Prototype, where shadows are not rendered properly on AMD ATI Radeon cards.
This can lead to a very poor graphical quality.
No official or unofficial fix has been issued for Prototype or Prototype 2.

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.
