    inFAMOUS 2 is as solid as the original game if not more-so. Sucker Punch has nailed the superhero formula and created what could be the perfect superhero simulation for any platform. This game is the perfect way to scratch that desire in your imagination to be more than human...

    inFAMOUS 2 is another strong example of a super-hero game done right, and serves as a great example that sequels can expand on the original formula without being derivative.

    Whether you're a fan of the first inFAMOUS or new to the series, the amount of gameplay and riveting story should please all. A few small tweaks to the Move controls would go a long way in improving the overall feel of the game but an absolutely fantastic and worthwhile title nonetheless.

    Complaints aside, inFAMOUS 2 makes huge strides in almost every facet of development. Story and character, combat, environment, enemy AI, the powers, and visual polish all receive an upgrade in this iteration.

    It no doubt has several minor flaws, but is otherwise a fun sequel that clearly understands the weaknesses of the original and addresses them all.

    If you were a fan of the original Infamous, you should absolutely love Infamous 2. While it really doesn't do a lot to really push the game into new territory, it also doesn't try to fix a formula that isn't broken. Terrific presentation values, a long campaign, and tons of replayability round out a very solid title; but before you venture to New Marais just make sure to play the original game first!

    The game's second half descends into a fiasco...One thing's for certain: if there's a great action game in Infamous 2, no one's actually built it yet.

Infamous games aren't the best Sony exclusive games that exist, but they are truly some of the most fun you will have in an open world game. Going back and playing this game in 2021, I find the game is still a joy to play.… Expand

Muchos aspectos del juego han mejorado como gráficamente, una elaborada trama, nuevos poderes y nuevas mecánicas, y todo ello ofrece un dinamismo superior al anterior juego. Con respecto al primer juego mejora mucho, pero ya en 2011 cuando se publica hay juegos parecidos en el mercado y por ello no destaca mucho. Aún así, recomiendo jugar a este exclusivo de PS3.… Expand
