    После какого-нибудь Прототипа играть в Инфэймос было одно удовольствие. Превосходная игра, не знаю к чему придраться или скорее не помню.

    A great game! A great way to start the inFamous series! A very fun game to play. Love the electricity powers you get to use in this.

    The bad things begin with bugs. I know, games are shipped with them all the time. The best games do contain bugs. However, when the bugs start to mess with the experience of the game in a negative way, I will start to be annoyed. This includes me being killed by touching solid ground after jumping a meter in the air. No enemies, no land mines, no water, not even my own projectiles, yet I was still killed.

    A minor issue is the jerky animation. The excuse that games were just like that back then is not a good excuse, as Uncharted 2 came out the same year and has aged fairly well.

    My next complaint is the difficulty. I played on Normal up until halfway through the Warren missions, where the difficulty was so controller-breakingly annoying that I turned it down to Easy. I still struggled on that mode though. Infamous 1's normal mode is Infamous: Second Son's hard mode. I would know, I have the platinum for Second Son.

    My final complaint is the enemies. Oh my good lord, the enemies. They are the only bad part about the entire game. Collect 350 blast shards, okay. Beat the game on both Hero and Infamous, of course I'll do it. Beat the game on Hard Mode, yeah no (I still did lol), not with those enemies. Some story missions and side missions consist of enemy spamming to the point of insanity. The only time it worked was the mission after you got the Thunderstorm move.

    Overall, it did deserves a 6/10 for what it was.    … Expand

    Este videojuego de mundo abierto al principio puede parecer divertido y prometedor pero cuando llevas algunas horas jugando notaras que se hace algo repetitivo y pesado hasta llegar a un punto en el que los enemigos de la ciudad no te dejan respirar ni un momento cuando no estemos haciendo alguna misión. Como punto positivo he de decir que posee una buena historia

    This game is truly one of the best games on the ps3, with great abilities, an interesting story, and gameplay, I would give it a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for the sequels and expansions existing and the inconstant performance which should be more of a reason for this game to deserve a remaster with infamous 2 and festival of blood.

    Playing on PS Now sucks. The controls can get very unresponsive at times.

    The game mechanics were fun, but the game is not very clear on what needs to be done during the missions so it can turn very frustrating trying to complete them.

Ещё в игре есть кувырки, но они абсолютно бесполезны, противники попадают в тебя в 100% случаев. Ты на одну секунду выглядываешь (не утрирую), а в тебя летят двадцать патронов. Укрытия сделаны криво, просто криво. Их неудобно использовать.
    Google Translate: The combat system is just a piece of **** At the beginning of the game we are told that we have two ways to destroy enemies: in close combat or from a distance, with the help of shots. Hand-to-hand combat immediately disappears, because enemies do not just run away from you faster, but they also manage to shoot you. And the shooting ... she's just bad. While you are aiming at one of the opponents, the rest of the horde threw a bunch of ammo at you. Yes, yes, opponents of the whole horde. Still in the game there are somersaults, but they are absolutely useless, opponents get into you in 100% of cases. You look out for one second (I do not exaggerate), and twenty cartridges are flying at you. Shelters are made crooked, just crooked. They are inconvenient to use.    … Expand

    This game was great, I loved the story and combat and the character. The power system was a lot of fun. It could do without the collectible crap. But the game was still fun. I didn't care for the comic book like cut scenes, however. I would have much rather actual cut scenes.

    Infamous es un juego de 2009 que para cuando se publicó me pareció bastante novedoso y me llamó la atención. Es exclusivo de Sony, y si tienes una PS3 recomiendo jugarlo, aunque no es un "vende consolas" ni mucho menos. La narrativa junto con su mundo abierto y avance escalonado son sus puntos fuertes. Los personajes no son muy carismáticos que digamos, pero la trama a mi me enganchó. CabeInfamous es un juego de 2009 que para cuando se publicó me pareció bastante novedoso y me llamó la atención.

    This game does a lot right. With climbing, traversal, and combat being quite fun and even challenging at some points. My major gripes with this game come down to a quite slow initial story progression. It feels like this game takes a long time to get rolling narratively and that is a huge point against it.

    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.
