About this game
Alex Mercer has a problem or a gift - depending on the view.
Thanks to a virus in his system he has several deadly powers and can change his appearance into any person he consumes which basically means the same thing as brutally killing the person he wants to be.

Of course Alex didn't voluntarily get this "enhancement".
Instead he was part of a genetic experiment at a company called Gentek.
Having lost his memory about what exactly happened, he is now both looking for vengeance as well as his past.
The second specimen, Elizabeth Green, on the other hand meanwhile infects more and more parts of Manhattan Island with a transmutation of the virus which converts people either into mindless zombies or brutal monsters.
Prototype is an open-world game similar to Grand Theft Auto IV where the player controls Alex through a 3rd-person-view.
He is able to freely roam about Manhattan Island with iconic scenery like Central Park and Times Square.
But instead of stealing cars and mugging old ladies, Alex feels more like going the Spider-Man route.
By sprinting against a wall, he is able to climb and jump up to the roof fast.
Thanks to his supernatural jump ability and his invulnerability to falling damage, he can then traverse the city from above instead of making his way through rush hour.
Of course monsters like hunters as well as the military have the means to reach him even up there.
To defend himself, Alex has several powers at his disposal.
He can lift heavy objects and throw them at enemies, making it easy to take down even a full-blown helicopter.
He also has the already mentioned ability to shape shift into any person he manages to grab and consume.
When done without being seen, it removes the heat from Alex and will, just as hiding does, eventually put his human pursuers back to sleep.
The monsters on the other hand will keep at him.
It also enables him to enter areas he couldn’t access before.

About Xbox 360
Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.
Gamevaro tracks Prototype for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Prototype to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This X360 release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Prototype has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
