    I like the controls. Climbing around the city is fun. The missions are boring and repetitive.

But doing everything all over again seemed more like work than anything else. Also, I have a huge gripe with the moral choice system in these games today. Why is it that I always have to choose between saving a baby or eating it?

Sure there is loads to do but it mostly consists of doing the same thing over and over again (climb that building, survive a shoot out etc). Couple this with some seriously flawed controls, a daft morality system, and some predictable and rather silly enemies and the games high points are overshadowed by its shortcomings. Its definitely got potential but needs more variety and better execution - worth it now when its goin cheep but dont expect too much.… Expand

    This game must be great to people who loved the "variety" of missions in MMOs. (In fact, Infamous feels a lot like City of Heroes, with its handful of enemy clans and catwalks in the sewers missions.) Personally, I wanted to do more than just mash buttons; I seldom felt engaged with the story at all. Mostly I was just following waypoints.

Personally, I wanted to do more than just mash buttons; I seldom felt engaged with the story at all. Mostly I was just following waypoints.

    The much-lauded moral choices are so blatant and black-and-white as to be laughable. You are explicitly prompted to choose the good or evil action. In addition, while there are some differences in the side missions, the power upgrades you receive, and the epilogue, there is really no difference in the storyline depending on your choices. In fact, the evil path oftentimes makes no sense.

    Ultimately, though, the biggest problem is the gameplay. In addition to all the random glitches, like invisible barriers that prevent you from proceeding forward on seemingly flat terrain, cameras that move for no reason, and so on, much of the gameplay and control is poorly designed. For example, while in aim mode, the right stick is used to pan and tilt, but all but the basic attack are on the right face buttons, which means that you cannot aim and fire at the same time with anything but the basic attack. Oftentimes the supposedly more difficult foes are far easier to defeat than the random footsoldiers, frequently due to the fact that they are much larger and the aiming is so twitchy.

    That said, it's not a bad game, it's merely mediocre. But it gets incredible reviews, and I really just don't understand why.    … Expand

    One of the most overrated games of the generation. I didn't even actually finish it which is a real rarity for me, Once I have a game I generally complete it regardless of how good/bad it is. The morality system was completely over hyped in game reviews amounting to nothing more than a upgrade path decision without really bringing your choice home in any real way through the story.

The morality system was completely over hyped in game reviews amounting to nothing more than a upgrade path decision without really bringing your choice home in any real way through the story. Excuse me I meant so called story, a semi apocolyptic, quarantined city snore snore might be interesting if at an absolute minimum the characters aren't completely annoying. In game acting and casting has come on leaps and bounds this generation but not in this game. The open world is designed reasonably well in terms of layout but is entirely uninteresting to explore and collectables and side missions feel like a complete grind. Actually the main story path feels like a grind too. Compare to the likes of Batman and this really highlights the flaws on infamous.

    Poor storyline. Un-imaginative gameplay and dynamics that tantamounts to your regular shooter staples of singleshot - blast shot - grenade - sniper shot etc. Will give you something to do if you're bored, but don't expect to be "entertained" as such.

The electric powers that make up this games main mechanic are fun at first, but few are used alk that creatively and the combat is rarely anything special, enemies are easily dispatched yet are also a constant worry as they're all shockingly good marksmen, causing this game to suffer from quite severe "who the hell is shooting me?!" syndrome. Add in a city with no life too it, no real landmarks or anything really distinct to it, and you have a somewhat boring by-the-numbers game.

    Story wise there's nothing special happening here, it's a barely explored cliché story about a gang controlling a city with a contrived binary morality system which periodically asks you stupid extremes, "would you like to save the baby from the burning building or wait 20 minutes and add barbecue sauce?". The story seems obsessed with sending you into the sewers regularly, which makes an otherwise drab game even more drab.

    In short, if you like open world action and superheroes, you may get some fun from this but I'd expect the game to wear out it's welcome for most gamers, I struggled to motivate myself to finish this one. Admittedly this game is fun for the first few hours, I just can't help thinking; yet again, that this same style of game was done better by Spider-man on the PSOne... which for a PS3 game, that's a rather damning sentiment.    … Expand

At the most, the citizens will react to your karma, but the city will not change. This really disappointed me. Karma is also underdone.

What I do not like, is the idea of, essentially, TO NEVER LET YOU REST A SINGLE MOMENT OF THE ENTIRE GAME! I really...REALLY hated that the game won't let you rest a moment and enemies will keep trying to kill you over, and over, and over, and OVER again!!! I was almost killed right when I woke up at the hospital, and when enemies would die, more would appear to replace them! However it's a good thing that you can shoot at them from the distance even though the controls are bothersome, but won't take long before you get used to it. However...WHY NO ENERGY BAR?! The idea of not putting an energy bar wouldn't be bad if the enemies wouldn't keep stalking the hell out of you and give you no rest, especially since this game isn't an fps, but an action, and even if not a bad idea in total in this game just ruins the experience, because you'll NEVER know when you're going to die exactly, not because of the colors fading, but because you're not gonna understand how much damage you're receiving, and in an free-roaming action game that information might be useful. This might be more of a rant, but as I said I DID like this game a lot: the fact you're a superhero is great, the powers are great and splitted in good and evil trees, the controls are loose but works just fine. I really couldn't stand the constant fightings in the street and the senseless idea of not giving you an energy bar...and if the energy bar isn't that much of an issue, the enemies will still be an issue and even if you try to escape, they all seem to be sniping with their rifles (no kidding, their aiming is very precise: you'll take more damage on the air than being on the streets). Maybe it's just my bad luck and I'm very sorry I couldn't rate this game higher: if you can pass over the flaws this game is going to be a lot of fun, but if you can't well I say..."if I want constant fighting to upgrade my skills in order to go on with the story and fight better, I'll play an RPG".… Expand

    Playing Infamous I was instantly reminded of Crackdown (that had been released two years earlier) with the game providing an open world in which to make use of all manner of superpowers, and complete missions of course.

    In many ways the game comes across as slightly dated with the poorly animated characters in particular making Infamous occasionally feel older than it actually is.

    In many ways the game comes across as slightly dated with the poorly animated characters in particular making Infamous occasionally feel older than it actually is. It is also hard not to feel many other aspects have been done better in other open world titles, including the co-op enabled Crackdown. There are other annoyances as well with the character not always grabbing on to the piece of scenery you intended, dull sidequests and enemies that spawn from nowhere who’ll then continually shoot at you whilst you try to complete the tasks set.

    All these criticisms may make it sound like I completely disliked the game, but that is far from being the case. For at least the first half of the game (It outstayed it’s welcome by a good few hours) Infamous was generally quite fun, not to mention fairly challenging, with each of the powers being well implemented and traversing the city defeating enemies can provide a good few hours of entertainment. It’s by no means a classic but if you own a Playstation 3 its worth giving a go.    … Expand

    Cole's powers are cool, the graphic novel cutscenes are stunning, the story is intriguing, and the city is alive.

    Most importantly, the movement and combat mechanics are fantastic, while the firefights (and the starring role of electricity) are a true spectacle. In this game the city is both your playground and your plaything, and you'll feel like a bad-ass.

    While not wholly original, the game's blend of open world ideals with superhero powers is done with a verve that’s unsurpassed, and the mesh of platforming and freeform combat is uniquely satisfying.
