Prototype 2 is crazy fun, I think I've played through half the game today in a few sittings. I love the mobility of the character, the power you start off with and how it scales is impressive. It's just fun to jump and glide around the ruins of New York and, better yet, it's so simple. You don't even think about it, you just leap, bound and glide around. The missions are alright, a decent mix of stealth/infiltration and all out carnage. I kinda like that there's Hitman-esque hiding in plain sight segments. The combat is simple but fun and really bolstered by the constant stream of upgrades and new moves you gain by completing main and side activities.
Back in the day I chose Infamous over Prototype because they looked like the same game and came out at roughly the same time. If the first Prototype is half as fun as its sequel, I think I need to play it.
As you said, just play Prototype 1, it's fun, also you will know the story or Mercer, so my friend, just play P1
