Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a nice preview up of Prototype. Prototype seems to be an evolution of sorts of a Crackdown style game in which the player controls are character with super human powers that are upgraded and grow over time. Of course, it wouldn't be news if the game didn't have a cooperative mode, and to follow in the footsteps ...
A lot of work has been put into the co-op. Lead Designer Colin Munson says “Eight players is that sweet team size. It’s enough so that you pretty much know the people on your team but it’s big enough to let new players in.” The co-op campaign will focus on teamwork, with the game testing players ability to work together. “The initial bridge attack forces players to deal with danger from multiple angles. The Titans meanswhile require the squad to divide and conquer, as these behomoths can easily take out an entire squad with one hit from a rocket cannon.”
The game was a literary masterpiece with an incredibly original story. So it was with great surprise to find out that Bioshock, the spiritual successor to the System Shock universe was not going to include any form of multiplayer CO-OP component. You would think that the developers would have included it based on the critical success of System Shock 2. But alas they didn’t and we were forced to drudge through Rapture in a solo capacity. I read recently that Bioshock had just won 11 awards for various things, interesting but did it really deserve them, there’s practically zero re-playability in the game. System Shock 2 on the other hand has mountains of replayability. If they had made System Shock 3 or even re-made System Shock 2 I’m sure it would have been even more acclaimed.

Of course that means the game features cooperative play. The co-op mode is a bit like that of the original Ghost Recon on the Xbox 360. There's a han...
I played through it tonight with a friend and I was a little dissapointed at what I saw. Not only was the demo extremely short (it took about 15 minutes to complete), but everything just seemed very basic. And while the co-op aspect was fun, there just wasn't much there to impress me. It is a demo though, so perhaps the full game will provide a deeper and richer experience.
