HalninetH.May 29, 2009Very good game, not the most original, but the most fun I've had in an open city since crackdown.

KameronF.May 28, 2009With only a couple of minor flaws, this game delivers absolute fun, comic book style.

RandyO.May 28, 2009Excellent open world game that gives you the feeling of being a true superhero.

MatthewI.May 28, 2009Well my vote is actually 9.5 but there is no option for that so i will round up. This game is extremely fun to play, but what would be even more fun is if there were different heroes you can play with, for example a physic or a flame bender or something.

RolandN.May 28, 2009loved it from the start, where you ran in the crater and the rest was totally awesome, i just wish there were more choices to some of them. xD

RobC.May 28, 2009The game revolutionizes open-world platforming by letting you scale and climb any structure with seamless and rewarding controls. I've had more fun just running around InFamous from roof-to-roof than I've ever had driving around Liberty City in GTA4. Brilliant Sucker Punch!

[Anonymous]May 28, 2009OK I have played the game and I loved it. But the people marking it down because of what? The controls are not inverted? You can change that via options menu as always. A dull city, Its had an explosion in it! People arn't going to be happy and there's not going to be rainbows everywhere. Still great graphics, great gameply, its repeatable and fun

MitchMay 27, 2009It's a solid game, but I think that I had more fun with Crackdown. But I'm still playing it, so that's gotta be a good thing, huh?

-
StephenH.May 27, 2009This game is completely addicting in every way. There is little repetition that does not harm the game in any and the combat is seamless and exciting. the story seems to good enough for an actual comic book hero. Nothing wrong with this game.

BryanF.May 27, 2009Perfectly constructed video game, its the kinda game that kids will be in school thinking about going home to. And I personally look forward to going home from work as is haha, but now I also have another great game to look forward too. And my wife and dog and all that other stuff :P

NickR.May 27, 2009I haven't had this much fun in a game for a while, last game was Fallout 3. This is similar fun, but a very different and almost fun I remember having playing games when I was a kid. (30 now)

AnthonyR.May 27, 2009This game is addictive and fun, period. It isn't perfect in terms of graphics and some controls, but the sheer joy I get playing it makes up for this. To me, that's what makes a great game: something you think about playing even when your not.

BobS.May 27, 2009Great just plain great.

EvanS.May 27, 2009There isn't that much thats technically impressive with this game, but I just cant put it down. Tons of fun.

RyanWMay 27, 2009Easily the best "super hero" game. Great freedom, rpg light elements and just fun all around to play as good and have the abililty replay the game evil.

DanielRMay 27, 2009If you don't buy this game you are nuts. One of the best super hero games period. Another AAA title for Sony.

mikewMay 27, 2009Excellent game with excellent controls the reveiwers giving this masterpiece less then it deserves are garbage the fact is its a great game thats a blast to play.

RayIMay 27, 2009I'm not a regular gamer, but inFamous pulled me in and has been a lot of fun to play. Not perfect, but easy to pick up, with well-thought-out controls and plenty to do.

KieranY.May 27, 2009Terribe controls, very weak gameplay, boring side-quests, good graphics - traditional modern computer game? Yes, unfortunately. InFamous is very mediocre (pardon, very bad) game which tried to be PS3's Crackdown. I recommend you people to ignore this title, and wait for "The Prototype", which simply can not be worse than this Sony exclusive.

DominicM.May 26, 2009Excellent game, not without some flaws, but great story, fun gameplay and many side missions keep this game entertaining. I cant wait for the sequel for them to get those flaws ironed out!

MikeS.May 26, 2009Reading a few of these less-than stellar reviews... ridiculous! I really can't see how anyone who ACTUALLY plays this game can say that it's anything less than one of the best releases of this generation. It's a seminal piece storytelling, sandbox gameplay, controls, and originality. Don't miss this one. An prime contender for GAME OF THE YEAR 2009.

TonyB.May 26, 2009I did not expect anything special from this game, then I played the demo... and then I played the game, and I played it again... And again ! And then I understood I had the best sandbox game of this gen in my hands. Then I cried and I screamed a huge "thank you Sucker Punch". Next time, just add some Antialiasing and I'll give you 11/10 !

KolioR.May 26, 2009A game that came out 2 years fter crackdown and is less enjoyable. the city is dire and dull.

JavierR.May 26, 2009Amazing game... birth of a new Hero... or antihero?

-
LynnD.May 26, 2009I like the controls. Climbing around the city is fun. The missions are boring and repetitive.
-
-
EcoJ.May 26, 2009This game is absolutely awesome. Cole's powers, the way you play, the liberty you have to do things. Believe me, it's awesome.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
