Prototype(The first one) was a very fun free roam game, it had some really small challenge and made you feel like a God, it is still one of my all time favorite games.
Prototype 2 is a bit more meh. The combat is still really fun but it's even easier than the first game. They did add some cool abilities but you also lost some fun things such as weapon transformation sequences and the patsy(Tricked the enemy troops into shooting each other out of paranoia, so much fun).
The story is horrible and should be ignored as much as possible. I would recommend it if your just looking for gameplay as the gameplay is very fun, I spend most of my time messing around in free roam.
However I would recommend the first game as although the second game is pretty fun as they added several fun new abilities(Tendrils and finishers) the free roam is meh, it's split into free areas instead of one big one and the enemies are really sparse outside of missions. The first one also had this problem but had more enemies in free roam, mainly at infected hives where the infected and military spawn infinitely to fight each other.
The first one has a lot of stuff you can do to mess around with, such as taking a military form and then just following a unit around an infected zone as they try to clear it out, join a tank squad and purge the city streets or help them fight the infected at a hive before getting bored, standing on top of a tank and shooting tentacles out in every direction so that you kill everything in sight.
