    Infamous 2 is one of the best ps3 games, it surpasses the first one and deserved better recognitions, everything seems fantastic to me since there is no infamous 3 sequel with Cole as the protagonist.

    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.

    It still my favorite game of all time. Once, after a couple a year. I alway come back to play it. I just can’t forget the gameplay, story or character.

    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

    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.

    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

    replay ability: 9
    -user generated content give you freedom to make your own missions or just play other ones like in little big planet or modnation racers
    -there are a lot of sidemissions that are not as repetitive as in infamous 1
    -play the game in your style, there are enough powers to start a new game just for experiencing them all
    -you have to play the games twice for seeing all powers, the good ones and the evil ones

    Overall is infamous 2 a game with a unique setting and probably the best superhero/villain game around.

    inFamous 2's improved combat and momentum, emotionally satisfying story, and increased number of set pieces make it much improved over it's predecessor. The game isn't flawless, but it is definitely worth a purchase.

    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 .

    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.

    Infamous 2 is one hell of an experience. Sucker Punch manages to nail almost everything from the combat, to the graphics and story. The gameplay is very similar, but just enough has been added (or removed, depending on previous quality) to make it original yet familiar. The story this time around is phenomenal, especially the ending which I would never spoil. Both endings for good and evilInfamous 2 is one hell of an experience.

The story this time around is phenomenal, especially the ending which I would never spoil. Both endings for good and evil pack an enormous emotional punch, and one can tell that Sucker Punch really invested their writers' talents to produce the drama. The only downside is Cole ironically enough. His voice and appearance have been changed for the worse. While SP did modify him after the E3 rage, he doesn't look like the Cole I knew from the first game; Tattoos on his arms are ugly, and his voice was much better in the last game. Overall though, Infamous 2 is a fantastic game, and you owe it to yourself to pick it up if you have a PS3.… Expand

    Good game, improvement over the first one ( and that one was already quite nice imo ). Enjoying every minute of it =)
    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.
    Score :9 because of some floating point error...

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.
