New Prototype 2 cinematic trailer shows James Heller doing what he does best

Activision has released another trailer for Prototype 2 today, and it’s actually.. pretty awesome.

It’s a cinematic trailer so it doesn’t feature any actual gameplay, but it does show off a number of abilities at James Heller’s disposable as he tears through the city in his quest to kill the series’ first protagonist, Alex Mercer.

In the video, we get to see Heller rough up – and by rough up, I mean brutally murder – a bunch of military types and a mutated baddy with some pretty brutal tricks.

The first game wasn’t exactly mindblowing by any stretch of the imagination, but it had a few things, namely the combat, that were more or less going in the right direction. I have to say, I have high hopes that developer Radical Entertainment can get it right in the sequel.

We’ll have to wait until April of next year to find out if Radical succeeded, but for now you can check out Prototype 2‘s latest singleplayer trailer below.
