Prototype 2 Gets Impressive Combat Trailer

Over the weekend, just as the New York Comic-Con was in full swing in the U.S., Activision has premiered a new trailer for its upcoming Prototype 2 open world brawler, showcasing the combat prowess of its new protagonist, Sergeant James Heller.

Prototype impressed through the array of powers given to its main character, Alex Mercer, and, for the second outing of the series, the team at Radical Entertainment is trying to overtake the original and give James Heller even more outlandish powers to hunt down Mercer.

Activision has now published a trailer detailing the combat aspect of Prototype 2, showing Heller taking down not just regular soldiers but also some of the monsters and abominations from the first title through some interesting methods.

What's really important is the end of the video above, where Heller seemingly controls a couple of monsters and sends them to take down some unlucky soldiers, which could prove to be an interesting gameplay mechanic.
