I enjoyed Prototype 2 very much when I bought it. However, in two days I had beaten the game. I decided to purchase Radnet DLC, which claims an impressive "55 DLC packs."
For all the hype, I was disappointed in my purchase. Those "55 DLC packs" are mostly challenges and timed events. Goals such as how far can you toss a human/infected, or how many enemies can you kill in a certain amount of time. In Prototype 1, these challenges were included in the game at no extra cost.
By completing a set of challenges in Prototype 2, a player may unlock more powers. They are as follows:
Fast Learner: Get 25% more EP for kills
Health Pack: Brawler Pack has 25% more health
Ravenous: Enemies require 10% less damage to consume
Security Blanket: Regenerate 1% health per second while blocking
Weightless: Float higher after triggering a second Glide mid-flight
Fast Learner's exp boost is unnecessary, since I maxed my character out before the second playthrough was complete. Only the security blanket and weightless are usable on the final boss battle, and neither are necessary.
People who enjoy challenges may find the DLC worthwhile. I wanted more story-driven content, and this DLC does not provide what I really wanted; more missions, characters to interact with, etc. In my opinion, the challenges detracted from the experience, by reminding me this is a game instead of an interactive story. When I'm going on a mission to save my character's loved ones from danger, it kills the mood to see a new high score pop up for performing some random act.
Since Prototype 1 provided most of this content for free, I did not consider this DLC worthwhile. I regret paying $5 for the sale price, and I would have been angered if I had paid the full suggested $10 price.It's DLC... Can't really argue, right? :). I forgot what this added on, but the game is great. Go around doing stuff, and "stuff" and some extreme "STUFF."
