    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

    Mindless and boring. Wait for an icon to appear on your in-game map, run to it, kill some bag guys by repeatedly tapping the same button, then wait for another icon to appear on your map, and then run to it and... you get the idea. That's pretty much all you'll the entire game, other than collect hidden shards that are scattered about the city, which aren't very well hidden. In fact,Mindless and boring.

That's pretty much all you'll the entire game, other than collect hidden shards that are scattered about the city, which aren't very well hidden. In fact, they're pretty much out in the open, and all you have to do is click a button to make them appear on your map, then run to them and pick them up. Extremely simple, repetitive and stupid. Those that are giving this piece of crap high scores are either high themselves, or were dropped on their heads when they were kids. One of the worst games of all time. And one of the most overrated.… Collapse

    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]
