Infamous Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Infamous is a great game.Just how great it is depends on your taste in games.This is not a run and gun shooter like Killzone 2 or Resistance.This game is more a mix of a shooter with platform game elements.You play Cole who through some mysterious manner (explosion) has developed electrical "super powers".You are basically locked on an island ala "Escape from New York" style. You can scale buildings, poles, train tracks, almost any structure you can get your hands on.Scaling up the side of a building or up the beams supporting the train tracks is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.The best part of your super powers are your electrical abilities.You can zap enemies with lighting similar to Star Wars Jedi, you can throw "energy grenades" which are lethal and you can develop other powers.The powers you develop depend on whether you choose to be "good" or "evil".You get certain special powers down each path you take.If you help civilians and do other good deeds/missions you are basically taking the "good" path.If you decide to crisp the good old civilians like bacon and do "evil" missions then you go down the "evil" path.

This "good vs. evil" choice is actually implemented very well, much better than I thought it would be.I will be playing this game through a second time in order to see how the other path develops and ends.Overall the graphics are very good and the controls are pretty much spot on.I never had problems with targeting, etc.This is a great exclusive for the PS3.I waffled between giving this game 4 stars or 5 stars and ultimately decided on giving it 5 stars.I gave the game 5 stars because I felt the originality, story and gameplay were some of the best for a PS3 game.That's ultimately how I judged this, compared to other PS3 games since this is a PS3 exclusive.This is definitely one of the top titles on the PS3 and for me personally is one of my top 5 PS3 games.If you are unsure about this game I recommend downloading the demo from the Playstation Store as it is a good representation of the game's feel.
