    Muchas veces superior a la primera entrega el combate es divertido, los enemigos variados y las formas de moverte alrededor de la ciudad son entretenidas. Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado y uno de mis favoritos.

    No wonder I consider ps3 the best console ever made! 80% of good console exclusive games are on ps3. ( I hate exclusivity, I would prefer that all games of all video games were possible to play on PC without the need for an emulator

    InFamous 2 is a solid upgrade version from the previous title. The story picks right after the first one and you're in for a treat. The melee combat has been updated and is much more fun and engaging. There's new eletricity and ice and slug powers. Each of these powers is heavily related to the karmic system and their characters.

    The game set foot in New Marais a representation of the real life New Orleans. The world itself has gotten a bit more complex and fun to deal with each "faction" enemies using the environments. The karmic system still is basically the same as InFamous. Not trying to spoil anything, but the ending was okay-ish and underwhelming. Still the game was fun, the combat was very fun and enjoyable. Just like the first one, I fully recommend this one.    … Expand

    Infamous 2 while it is a great game, it is DEFINITELY not as good as the original. But nonetheless, it had great potential to be a great sequel and it came out during a time when Sony was trying their damn hardest to surpass the Xbox 360 in sales and you know what, it did.

    One of the best superhero games of all time. The story is great, the karmic decisions are slightly weaker than infamous 1 but in exchange we get unique endings depending on your karma and it's incredible. The powers in infamous are as the most unique it's ever been at the time and the variety is great. This game is just pure fun and I love it so dearly, especially with the added nostalgia I have.

    This is the right way to do a sequel for sure! It takes everything good about the original and builds on it. The storytelling doesn't feel as rushed and even though the moral choices are a bit A/B, it still makes me want to go back and play through again.

    The only bummer is that the only way to play this on current gen systems is through streaming on PSNow, which is a terrible service.    This is the right way to do a sequel for sure!

    Beyond any criticism you may have about the game, the game does one thing right. Enjoyability. 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.

    Playing this in 2020 with the PS5 just around the corner is a surprisingly great experience. I remember playing the original back in 2009 and liking it quite a bit but for one reason or another I never got around to playing the sequel. So, when I was looking at maybe playing Infamous: Second Son &/First Light, I kept on reading that they were nowhere near as good as 2. I bit the bullet andPlaying this in 2020 with the PS5 just around the corner is a surprisingly great experience.

So, when I was looking at maybe playing Infamous: Second Son &/First Light, I kept on reading that they were nowhere near as good as 2. I bit the bullet and dusted off the old PS3, I've actually already had Infamous 2 still in the shrink-wrap and decided to see what I was missing.

    Honestly, and this is purely my opinion so I already sure that many would disagree... but I place it above the Arkham Games and PS4 Spiderman as my favourite Super-hero game of all time. Arkham and Spidey are definitely more polished as far as presentation and graphics go, and they're narratives are probably better too but this just 'plays' so well. I find the melee-driven combat of Arkham and to a slightly lesser degree Spidey soooo boring but the various projectile combat of Infamous much more satisfying. The combat also feels considerably more free too, with the choice of where to take your fight to bolster your own play-style.

    I've enjoyed it so much that not only will I play Second Son and First Light at some point but I've also reordered the original Infamous (as I cant find my original copy). Also, considering I was kinda dreading returning to the PS3 for some reason... the game looks pretty damn good too. So good in fact that I've dug out all my old PS3 games I never ended up getting around to playing and added them to my PS4 backlog. The major bonus of which, I never played Skate 3 so that will be pushed to somewhere near the top of my play-list.    … Expand

That doesn’t mean that I’m done with the franchise yet. I have to get a PS4 soon (depending if I got one for Christmas, who knows), and hopefully play inFAMOUS: First Light first and then inFAMOUS: Second Son because First Light is a prequel to Second Son. Yes, I want to go play the inFAMOUS video game series in chronological order. I enjoyed the second game more if only because it has more characters that have superhuman abilities, I’m not telling you which ones because spoilers. It has an interesting story that takes place where we left off from the first game and it had some cool upgrades of superhuman abilities. Yes, there are choices of both karmas depending on which side you choose to be on. I always choose the good side, but that’s just me. Also, the graphics of inFAMOUS 2 are good. Like really good. On the flip side, not only inFAMOUS 1 fits perfectly for the PS3, but I thought the graphics of inFAMOUS 1 looked like something that would’ve also fit well for the PS2 when the game first came out, but I digress.

    When I made my 6/10 review on Infamous 1, I was skeptical about playing Infamous 2. But after giving it a chance, it easily became my favorite game in the series, even surpassing Infamous: Second Son. Here’s why:

    The Story: While simple, I found it to be very interesting. I liked the characters, especially Kuo because of how her character changes so drastically from beginning to end. The setting is sort of a stereotypical coastal town, but stereotypes don’t matter as long as it is executed well.

    The Morality: It’s a pretty bare morality system, but at least you have reasons for choosing to be good or evil, unlike in Second Son where it’s just kinda there for no reason other than carrying the legacy of the series forward.

    The Parkour: I don’t care for parkour. It’s usually the weakest feature in games that don’t have it as it’s main feature. The only game I have seen execute this correctly is Second Son.

    The Combat: Hoo boy. This is what brought the game from 7 to 8. It was a lot of fun to blast enemies with electricity. All of the abilities were balanced correctly, even the variants of them all. Some enemies do take a few too many hits to kill, but that can be solved by using grenades or rockets. The thing that really wins me over in the combat though is the melee. It is so satisfying to melee enemies into oblivion with finishers, because they all have a sense of spectacle and look like they cause a ton of pain.

    All in all, great game. Definitely deserves to be considered the best in the series.    … Expand

    InFamous 2 is everything a Super Hero game should be. Which is making the player feel like a BAD ASS.

Also, the controls are easy to learn. The open world of New Maris is a lively city that is packed with side quests and Blast Shards that you need if want to expand Cole's power capacity. However, you are not invincible. There are many threats in the game some of which are actually caused by your own powers, expect a challenge with this game. The game-play isn't the only good thing about the game, The story is also extremely good with two different routes which adds to already huge replay value of the game. Not a single character is bland, Zeke is personally my favorite character besides Cole. Both Nix and Kuo are also amazing for there respective roles. The main villain Bertrand, is incredibly well made and has a believable goal. The Graphics still hold up even in 2018, there fantastic. Overall, InFamous 2 is a very well made game and is one of the best games of all time. I highly recommend InFamous 2 to any gamer, seriously you're missing out on a stellar game.… Expand

    Once you're finished, you can try out the side missions. Some side missions and story missions are exclusive to a certain side of karma, so you might want to do 2 playthroughs for the full story. (but the good story is the only canon one.) If that's not enough, you can collect all of the blast shards which are collectibles hidden around the map.

    Still not enough? Make and play UGC missions! This game has great replayability and infinite post game content, at least until UGC servers shut down. I also love the variety of powers you can buy and use to change the gameplay every once and a while. You might want to do a playthrough where you only use a certain set of powers. The game isn't perfect though, as sometimes when climbing on certain ledges Cole might clip into some things, but that's just a visual bug. I tried to think of other bugs, but I couldn't think of any. You probably will encounter more, though.    … Expand

    This improves on the graphics and the combat system from the first game. The story suffers a little, and is completely inconsistent from the first game. The karma system is weaker too, your choices offer very little emotional impact compared to the first game (in this you'll receive encouragement regardless of what you do).

You get abilities like shooting five electric bolts at once, creating a shield that restores your power, dropping huge thunderbolts from the sky onto your foes, and the introduction of the AMP, a weapon you get at the start of the game that seams beautifully into regular combat (as opposed to other games where melee weapons quickly become useless) that deals huge damage and allows for the use of finishers (that, when upgraded, restore your power), electric grenades that bounce off of walls and stick to enemies, rockets that ignite targets... there's so many powers you can get in this game it's embarrassing.

You are Cole Macgrath, delivery boy turned superhero (or villain). This is a game based on a moral choice system and over-the-top super powers... You progress through the game by doing Story Missions and Side Missions, and depending on your actions you will either become more good, or more evil... You enhance your powers through XP points, killing enemies, capturing the alive or sucking their soul out through their faces, it's up to you, but you get rewarded XP points for whatever you choose, which you can then use on upgrading powers, or getting similar powers, such as a more powerful lighting bolt attack... The game is full of interesting comic-book-esque cutscenes, and "dead drops" which are audio recording strapped to birds' necks, which are optional, but very interesting. inFamous 2 is a direct sequel to the ground breaking game inFamous 1, but there are many changes. The main character is modeled differently and has a different voice actor, and in game you have a new melee weapon called the "Amp" which is a dual pronged lighting rod device that you use to cave in the heads of many henchmen... Other than a few minor technical bugs, such as pop in textures, and sometimes a glitchy enemy, this game run very good.

    inFamous 2 doesn't make many missteps. It may lack the polish and big name license of the recent Batman games, but for a solid and dependable superhero videogame, there aren't many more enjoyable and more consistent than this excellent superpowered romp.
