    Loved the first one. This is better. Free roaming in a huge sprawling environment is very liberating. The graphics and controls are highly improved also. It's more polished than the first but does suffer in one respect. If you have played the first to death it doesnt have as much impact as it would if you approached the game as a nooby. That said thats the nature of a sequel. This timeLoved the first one. This is better. Free roaming in a huge sprawling environment is very liberating.

This time around actions and choices ( good or bad) have direct consequences and the game can be played in a multitude of way. The ending also changes depending on your choice. It is also rumoured that a plethora of DLC is due for this game , ensuring far more lastability/replayability than the prequel. Good stuff. 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.

    A very good superhero's sandbox. There's a lot fighting, but it's good fighting. A lot of replay potential. The level editor is a worthy bonus, too. [Aug 2011]
