So inFAMOUS 2, a game where you play as a guy called Cole who absorbs electricity to heal himself and turn into cool superpowers. He is also an expert at climbing walls. The selling point of this game is that you choose whether to play the game as a hero or an evil villain. This makes your powers red or blue! Big woop, but that's not all. Playing to one side specifically you will unlock different powers and different missions and cut scenes. This does give the game replay ability.
This game has a big step up and is better then the original infamous. They have added collapsing balconies when you blow them up. A new pylon style melee weapon, which is really nice and finally you can upgrade all your attacks and there is loads of new ones. The good news is that they have made a slick and easy quick change menu for the powers. However at points near the end I did want a couple of powers equipped at the same time which should have been possible as one was L1 then R2 and the other was just R2. Yet it wasn't possible, slightly aggravating.
The engine for this game let it down a little as climbing was really fake. It would be better if they had made a super power that helps you climb. Another problem was the enemy AI of the guys with rocket launchers was just annoying as they would just point and shoot blowing their prisoners up or themselves. As soon as they saw you, killing you.
The story was aright although sometimes it was a bit to unbalanced of story to the whole good karma bad karma thing. I did prefer the adventures through the sewers to power up the generator in the original to the new shooting electric bolt shooty thing however it is still a really fun part of the game. A really nice idea in this game is the online level editing and creating which seems to be pretty robust and adds endless game play to the game.
I really recommend this game for the price it is now, not the full price when it came out!
5/10
