    Even better than Infamous Second Son PS4, which I loved and played first. The graphics aren't as good as that, but they are terrific and the story and main character is even better.

    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. Playing through the game twice to see the good and evil endings adds to the longevity of the game.I just got the platinum trophy for this game.

The user generated content is a bit hit and miss, but there are some entertaining missions being posted by the Infamous community. Overall a really enjoyable experience and probably my favourite game of 2011 so far.… Expand

There is a cut scene where Ziek and Cole are sitting watching the TV, I was laughing rather hard at just how good the motion capture lighting effects and composition was.

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

So many improvements over the original. I'll mention the new camera tweaks first. It makes running and melee much more cinematic and intense! I love the effect it adds to gameplay. Yes it can get in the wrong places sometimes because nothing is perfect, and in an open world game like this the camera is bound to get hung up on something. easy to fix and to those complaining, don't you know the right stick moves the camera for you so you can manually fix it on the fly. Now gameplay. very similar but not a bad thing. if you played the first you can hop right back in and you have a good amount of your powers from the first game to get you right into the action. You new powers are awesome and they only get cooler and more powerful as the game progresses. I love the quick select menu for switching powers on the fly too, took a little while to get enough powers to use it and then a bit to get used to it, but once you do between different enemy types you will have your favorite ways to defeat them and you will be switching back and forth quite a bit. minor things I had to adjust to was your force push "blast" power doesn't deflect or throw back grenades/rpgs as easily. at first I thought it didn't work because you have to actually aim and hit them instead of just blasting away like in the first game. but traversal is just as fun and the new elements only help you move around the city faster! I hope for the next game though they adopt some sort of free run button that you can just hold like in AC because mashing x does get tedious and old. Graphics are better but not by huge margin. The world is designed better this time around and as a result is much more fun to explore, things like rpg smoke trails, explosions look improved and other things, like tentacle bug pods as an example, look great!. npcs/enemies look nicer too this time around, just about as dumb but look nicer. which brings me to enemies. I love the new ones. Nice variety with many different attacks and fighting styles, from guns to spit, from militia to monsters they are bigger, better and much more fun and challenging to fight! Way more diversity than the three gangs in the first game. Story is good and a list of new characters make their debut. The presentation and development of new characters is much better than the first I feel, but still not the best in the open world genre. They are good though don't get me wrong, not bad at all. Side missions are varied a bit more and I like how they added the good and bad side bits you can just walk up on and do really fast. those ones are repetitive with only four or so different ones depending on your karma but they are so fast and easy you don't mind doing them over and over. so story overall did it's thing and I enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoyed just messing around in the really fun open world environment of New Marais. User Generated Content, AMAZING! now granted you will play cruddy or frustrating levels in UGC but it's made by people and so you have hundreds of new opportunities for different missions. The best part, you can make your own missions!! I am such a big fan of this type of stuff, from tony hawk in the old days making parks to LBP and LBP2 and now this!! I love creating my own characters and scenarios, this just adds to the replay value so much that I will be messing around in this game for a long time. The tools to make your own missions have learning curve, but if you are willing it is to me one of the best things an open world game has ever done! So in the end this is a must have for your collection and Sucker Punch has made the right choices for this series.… Expand

    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

    Despite not offering a "real" sandboxworld like GTA 4 its just great to run or better fly tjrough the streets and going on full ramapge.
    The game itself offers a great and deep story with actual choices that matter in the end.

Every aspect of a successful game is evident in final chapter of the Infamous series.

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 !

    Great Game. I loved the first one but it was always lacking polish. This one adds polish and a lot of depth. You have much more options in terms of upgrades and the user generated content means you'll have endless levels to play.

    inFamous 2 starts off at the end of inFamous 1 almost precisely. You have most of the same powers and from there it just gets awesome. You start playing with the familiar and slowly realise that allot has been added as you say "wow that was pretty cool" over and over again.

The only other thing i can complain about is the camera, depending on where you are the camera can sometimes go a little crazy and that leads to a frustrating death, But the couple of issues i mentioned will be patched so i didn't reflect into the score, definitely recommend this game must buy for ps3 owners.… Expand

Cole also uses a melee weapon known as "The Amp", it's amazingly satisfying to knock a bad guys face with it. Overall, the powers and the gameplay is amazing. 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! If you are a PS3 owner buy this game. If you're not a PS3 owner, buy a PS3 and buy this amazing game. My score: 11/10

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.

The gameplay is basically the same, but now set in a city where even more things are climbable (pretty much everything is, actually), and which is more diverse and colourful than ever. There is a great array of new powers, some which are basically upgrades of original powers, some which are completely new and help you get around the city. Some really put a smile on my face using them to zoom around the city, which is a great thing to do. There is a lot to do in the city, especially now user-created missions are implemented. The characters are good, and there is even some rivalry around Cole which makes him more human. If you enjoyed the first one, you're going to have a lot of fun playing this one. If you haven't played the first one, go to that now and play this one right after that. Everything in New Marais is great to do, whether that is zooming and grappling around town with your electric players, combatting mutants and ice soldiers with electricity and rockets, saving innocent civilians from the evil Militia or rule the town with an iron fist yourself.… Expand

It's hard to top the engaging, surprising story of the first inFamous, but this game comes very, very close with a story just as engaging. The game takes a very different and interesting turn by having you work together with other conduits, which I thought was really creative and it ultimately made for an awesome story in my opinion. The controls and mechanics again are stellar - the mechanics being even more tight than the first. The graphics in inFamous were already nice, but they went above and beyond and made the graphics absolutely pop out of the screen. I would recommend this game to anyone, it's great fun. Overall, this game took everything that inFamous 1 did right and improved even more on it - graphics, controls, mechanics, fun, all of that.

You can chose to be good and stop the malitia from mugging and kidnapping people and stop the monster that's on its way to destroy the place, tearing towns and city's on its way. But maybe for you being evil feels good, destroying the city and killing suvilians, feeling like an all powerful God, making the citizens new Maris live in fear. The city of new Maris is massive and there's lots to explore from a nice looking town to a city destroyed buy floods and an industrial zone with warehouses. It's fun to use your electric powers and blast enemies with all sorts of attacks.… Expand

    So, I played inFAMOUS 2 from Thursday the 19th of September right after I had played and beaten the first inFAMOUS game until I had beaten THIS game on Friday the 27th of September (I’m in the middle of playing it for the second time), and it’s the same thing as the first one, it’s the Heroes (2006-2010) of PlayStation, it’s also fun and I agree with most people that inFAMOUS 2 is betterSo, I played inFAMOUS 2 from Thursday the 19th of September right after I had played and beaten the first inFAMOUS game until I had beaten THIS game on Friday the 27th of September (I’m in the middle of playing it for the second time), and it’s the same thing as the first one, it’s the Heroes (2006-2010) of PlayStation, it’s also fun and I agree with most people that inFAMOUS 2 is better than inFAMOUS 1. 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. But hey, inFAMOUS 2 is really fun, I totally recommend it.… Expand

    InFamous 2 is everything a Super Hero game should be. Which is making the player feel like a BAD ASS. The game-play is a polished version of the original InFamous game-play but adding new powers makes it feel fresh. The introduction of different powers (Fire and Ice) depending on your Karma Level is amazing and adds reply value to the already phenomenal base electricity game-play.

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

    uno de los mejores juegos que puedes llegar a tener, lo único malo es que tiene algunos glitch que son re molestos

    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.

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

    Мой любимый эксклюзив на PS3. Сюжетная история пропитана чёрным юмором и драмой, что в совместной работе даёт идеальную игру. Спасибо большое, жаль дальше вы не смогли...

    Esse jogo até hoje me deixa nostálgico,um dos primeiros jogos que joguei no PS3 e é ótimo,com um árvore de habilidades grande e muito criativa cada poder,a história não é a melhor,mas tem personagens carismáticos e vale muito apena

    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]
