    I just got the platinum trophy for this game. It is REALLY fun, and an improvement over the original in every way. I loved the first one, but it was a bit too repetitive. The second one is less repetitive, more fun, with better graphics, better story, more powers, and better game play.

    I enjoyed this game so much that I started and finished it in a single sitting, my only complaint is the mortal choice system doesn't make much sense, so you either need to be maximum evil or maximum good to get the powers, so the "What would I do?" idea goes out the window, unlike in Mass Effect where I could be good, but if someone starts annoying me I could push them out a window, II enjoyed this game so much that I started and finished it in a single sitting, my only complaint is the mortal choice system doesn't make much sense, so you either need to be maximum evil or maximum good to get the powers, so the "What would I do?" idea goes out the window, unlike in Mass Effect where I could be good, but if someone starts annoying me I could push them out a window, I can't do that in inFamous because then I won't get the best powers.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. infamous 2 was definitely my most anticipated game this year as the first was so great. the second is even better in nearly every way. everything has been improved from combat to traversing to the powers and graphics. one thing that has been improved but still isn't perfect is the choice system. although there r 2 alternate endings and u get different powers depending on if your good or evil, most of the choices u make don't hold any significant weight. none of the decisions u make up to the last decision have any bearing on it. u can b good and still choose the evil ending or vice versa. even after choosing nix or kuo u can still choose to do good or evil missions so choosing between them makes no difference except for the powers you get. this was a disappointment but this is nonetheless a great game and a must buy if you got the first one. oh and there's user generated content which will give more gaming time on top of the long story mode (10 hours minimum if u complete twice)… Expand

    InFamous 2 is yet another example of the technological breakthroughs slowly beginning to appear in contemporary games. Every aspect of a successful game is evident in final chapter of the Infamous series. Spectacular graphics, a well written and credible plot and qualitative game-play give you a gaming experience like no other. A credit to Sucker Punch and a masterpiece of gaming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll admit it, inFamous 2 was just as fun as the first game. The introduction of the new melee combat and varying powers was a blast. The re-playability of the game is enhanced with the User Generated Content available but a little confusing (especially if you have MY patience). The reason though for the lower score is that the story is lacking incredibly. Instead of different twists and turns the story of the first game had, inFamous 2's plot was terribly straight forward and narrow. The antagonist Joseph Bertrand was ill defined and seemed tacked on as a character and was not as story driving as other baddies in inFamous 1. The gameplay is fantastic, fun, and revamped since Empire City, but the story is boring and mundane. Half the reason I did not like the story is that i predicted it from the first (a testament to its straight and narrow plot). All in all though, there is ENOUGH story for it to make since and the gameplay is fantastic enough for it to get a positive review. I love all of sucker punch's games, the characters they put in them, and the great and fresh gameplay they always bring since Sly Cooper.… Expand

It was fresh, badass and just fun. And whilst inFamous 2 maintains that I still feel that this was a missed oppertunity to propel inFamous into a household franchise like the Uncharted's and co. The game picks up from where the first outing left off Cole, having killed Kessler heads of to confront the beast. Old favourites like Zeke return and a new assistant as such Lucy Kuo an NSA agent. A problem that inFamous 2 had for me was the story wasn't as engaging and failed to draw you as much as the original you feel the same the majority of way through and it lets down the impact of the twists and turns that come towards the end of the game which is a shame as depending on which kharma you build the ending is a clever and leaves questions over future outings. Regardless of that the gameplay is still as fun as ever, theres not been any huge surgery but there wasn't any needed in all honesty! One disappointment is the lack of new powers. The powers are basically an upgrade or am extension like ice slides, grenades nothing really fresh. The enemies in this game are a letdown compared to the first inFamous. Particuarly the big boss battles comapred to normal enemies was like chalk and cheese and you had three big ones that possessed a challenge. However inFamous 2 only really offers two big otherwordly boss battles, and whilst I grant you they are fun theres more approval to be had with the regular baddies. Visually there are some notable improvements in the setting and environment, its nothing overwhelming but is a step in the right direction. Overall inFamous 2 is a great game. Its bigger in many ways and you will have endless fun as Cole zapping enemy after enemy sliding or fyling from mission to mission but in comparison to its predecessor its not as much of an experience and I was left thinking what could have been. That aside its certainly worth a buy!… Expand

    There are some minor tech issues I noticed like textures loading a bit too late, but that was when I was electro-grinding on some wires at a high speed. And it was like 0.5 seconds of blurry building so it really didn't bother me.

    The first inFamous was one of the best games I had ever played. It was great in the pacing, size of the open world, and the story. This one takes everything that made the first great and made them better! The melee is great and the amount of powers that can be used is mind boggling. If you at all liked the first then this is a no brainer, get this game.

Cole can also perform parkour and free-run, this makes exploring the environment heaps of fun!

    The graphics are great, much better than the first. They're more colorful and detailed and they just make the world seem alive with personality.

    The story is amazing, there are two endings depending on which side you chose to play as. Both of the endings are great and fans of the series like myself, will not be dissapointed. It takes many twists and turns and they're also emotional. Overall, Infamous 2 is a fantastic game, it's absolutely brilliant. This is a great inprovement from the first one and it's tonnes of fun!

    well it took me a couple of days to finish this game and i have to say i enjoyed all of it. while alot the missions can be a bit repetitive the suspense that the story provides keeps the player going as with me i had to keep going because i had to know what happened next. There was also a good variety of powers available to the player which made the game more fun as well.

    This is a fun game. The major drawback is the extremely weak A.I and the respawning issues (particularly with cars after you have launched them at an enemy). Minus the poor A.I this game is clearly better than the original. It's not for everyone, but if you liked the original you will love this one. I'd give it an 8.5 if I could.

    "inFAMOUS 2" has everything that fans could want out of a sequel to the original. With astounding design in every medium, fast-paced electric gameplay, and a epic karmic storyline that will astound and intrigue you 'till its conclusion, this game has now garnered my respect into being one of the best PS3 exclusives that the system has to offer.

From enemies that have Ice powers that use an Ice jump to move around the city or summon Ice towers from underneath them to shoot you from high ground. There's also swamp monsters that come in all shapes and sizes and human militia that come with all types weapons ranging from shotguns to assault rifles and sniper rifles. You also have two companions that have super powers and they serve as your good and bad karma partners. I recommend this game to anyone who likes Open world games and great stories… Expand

Although the game may not run at 60fps, it often does feel that way. The game runs incredibly smooth and fluid, has no screen tearing, and no blur when you move the camera fast to the left or to the right. inFAMOUS 2 is also much more colourful then the first one, which is a big plus imo, you just have to see the city for yourself to experience how amazing it is, and how fluid. The game also never gets dull, or boring, there's always something to do, to see, or to find. The chemistry and vibe that this game brings is also amazing. A big plus is also the soundtrack played in the game, it's in the background allot, and really makes the game more dynamic, and alive. There are only 2 things imo which inFAMOUS 1 did better, it was the original voice cast that was better, and Cole's appearance, he just looks to "clean" in 2, and he sounded more "raw" in the first one. These are the only things i can come up with, which were better in the first one. The game definitely deserves a 10/10 imho, and is the first game that came out this year that's in line for game of the year ! This game is the best open world / sandbox game i have seen or played this generation.… Expand

While the last game didn't look bad, its visuals weren't on par with games like Uncharted 2 and Resistance 2. My only big gripe is the voice acting, where at times you can't hear what certain characters were saying due to slurred speech. Fans of the first game should certainly pick this one up. New comers won't be completely left out to lunch, but I recommend playing the first game before this one. To sum up, inFamous 2 overall is an improvement over the first game.… Expand

The set pieces are amazing, the powers are great from the start, the voice acting and action is phenominal. So if you like the first game I will tell you that your in luck and you will like this one. But lets get down to the brass tax. This game shorts the player in a few rather large ways. Starters the story, there was no emotional draw in any way. I felt the same by the end as I did the beginning which dont get me wrong by the time I got their a few twists and turns had sprung up. But with the first I was blown away on more than one occasion. Next the enemies, the regular baddies are fine with their ice powers and then the larger titans and so on but the big bosses are pretty much nowhere to be found. I will tell you that you will encounter 2 otherworldly bosses and that is it. The last had at least 3 with the promise of the beast that flat out lets you down in every way. I would like to have seen a little more back story on some new and interesting bad guys but instead we were shunned and left feeling like their could have beeen more. Which brings me to the powers. For the most part there was nothing new to add to the table. Every power was either an extension of an existing one or just a throwaway upgrade. For instance the ice powers, the ice jump, the ice grenade, the ice rocket, all just the same with a few popcycles tacked on to the after effect. I'll stop gripeing but I will leave on this note. By the end of the first game I felt like I had been through an experience, I got what I wanted and walked away with what I needed. This one just left me wishing for more. Great for a quick playthrough, but I would push for a buy.… Expand

First of all the graphics, you can really tell Sucker Punch have pushed the PS3 hardware, because the graphics are superb. The framerate issues that the original suffered from are completely gone. The story is really cool, like the first, and there are loads of side missions and collection items to keep the hardcore happy too. The gameplay has also been polished, melee combat is just awesome now, really makes you want to fight all the baddies with your new toy "The Amp". Everything else has also been refined like movement and the powers. If you didn't like the original then you probably won't like this. However, if you didn't like the original because the graphics were pretty poor or the framerate issues put you off; then you should definitely buy this game! Fans of the original this should be a no brainer, because this game is most definitely a must buy.… Expand

    Actually a 9.75 , inFamous 2 is over the top high pumping action video game. You will be wondering over New Marais , exploring and doing whatever you want, tho thats the same concept from the first one, but this one feels more complete and better. The graphics looks great, the controls feels smooth and everything is well presented. Perfected and better .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I preordered the Hero Edition months back, because I was DYING to get it. Now, Ive been real excited up until i finished the game 22 hours after recieving it. Flawless. I loved it. Much better than the original with updated graphics, fun powers, and a 'either-you-love-it-or-hate-it' voice cast. Now, I DO wish the story ended differently, not that it ended poorly, just that none of us knew it'd be the last game. I for one am saddened that there will not be another inFamous installment, but they did end it very well. My recommendation: Buy. This. Game. You will not be disappointed.… Expand

    Well for starters, I don't know what the heck is up with Gamespot and Gamepro. I must be playing a different game than the two guys that did this review for those sites. The only problem I have run across so far is that the camera can be a little wonky. Other than that, this game is better than the first. More colorful, better combat, better AI, better graphics, and a better story.

This is a very solid and enjoyable game. There are minor issues in this game. The camera is a hindrance in melee combat. It isn't always a problem, but occasionally you cannot see the enemy that you are attacking at all, and you will just be swinging at air, while the enemy has backed up and started shooting you, and you cannot see this due to the camera angle. I am not impressed with the voice acting for the main character in this game either. I much preferred the original voice for the main character. The only other thing is that the game is still fairly repetitive. It has added a lot more enemy types than the original had, and that is an improvement, but most of the sidequests are still carbon copies of each other. That said, this game is still a lot of fun for me. I will likely be playing it to the exclusion of other games for the next month or so.… Expand

    Fantastic game. Many improvements upon the original. I am a fan of the new power upgrade system, and all of the additional ways to boost both good and evil karma. I don't know if the city will grow on me...Empire City was amazing, but it is hardly something to complain about. Excellent sequel, highly recommended.

    I am now playing through on my second play-through as a villain and the differences between the archetypes are solid. Trust me when I say that the vistas are gorgeous and I take particular issue with the comment by Decitron in terms of the controls. Simply put I feel like I have far more control and the game is fluid. I do urge you to ignore this one glaringly simplistic review he/she has put forth as it's an obvious attempt to break the mold or appear contrary for the sake of "trolling." I suggest you put some time aside and enjoy a game that introduces/reintroduces you to what a super hero or villain can be: amazing.    … Expand

    As a fan of the original, playing the sequel constantly puts me in awe at how finely honed Sucker Punch's development skills are.

This previous weekend I played through a good chunk of the original again, and was reminded how smooth the gameplay is and how dead on the controls are. Yes, the enemies tend to have a bit too precise of an aim, but you never feel like you're overwhelmed or in a no-win situation with them.

    The graphics are definitely a step up from the original as well, while not losing the fluid, solid 60fps feel of the game. It never hitches in large battles, even given how detailed the world is.

    If you enjoyed the original, it goes without saying that you will love this one. If you didn't like the first Infamous, there's probably not a lot here to draw you in, the controls are largely the same, which, for me, is great, since I really enjoyed the controls from the first game. The story, although not perfect, is still more interesting than most games that come out.

    Needless to say, I highly recommend the game.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
