Infamous (Playstation 3, 2009)

Read the reviews from IGN and GM and have to admit that I agree with them whole heartily! The game has great story line and the controls are very easy to use. The graphics are insane! The game play it a 10 for me. Just waiting for Batman's Arkahm Asylum to see if it beats this one. Two thumbs up for inFAMOUS.

I just bought this game about a week ago off of ebay after reading the reviews on this game off of ign, and let me tell you i dont regret it in the least bit. A very fun and challenging game if you want it to, once i popped this game in i never wanted to put the controller down. Between collecting shards (you collect these for your energy meter) and completing side missions this game can easily take you over 25 hours or so to collect and complete everything. You play the game as a man named Cole who was handed a package one day that would soon change his life forever. As you play through the game, you begin piecing together the story of what happened and what the package contained. You become stronger by unlocking new electrical abilities that can eventually be upgraded as you gain experience throughout the game. One of the greatest things about this game is not only the free roaming, but you can climb and grab onto just about anything you want to as well. The creators of this game in my opinion did an excellent job making you feel like you really own the city and in making your decisions decide and change the way the city evolves and develops around you. Great story and a great game that is very addicting that will make you wanna play through it again as the opposite karma just to see how the other side of story develops.

Graphics are really nice and the gameplay is awesome! You can climb up almost anything, making the whole city a big gymnasium!

InFAMOUS is one of the best games out for the Playstation 3. The game is challenging but never frustrates you. It has a wide variety of different things you can do.

The graphics and sound are very well done.

As for the gameplay its even better, climbing around the city is fun and works extremely well. You can also grind the the rails and electric wires. But the best thing is your power, which just get stronger and more powerful as you progress. If you are a hero you learn to control your powers to help and if you become Infamous(evil) you become a destructive machine. Either way it is a lot of fun, when you are good people cheer for you but if you are bad they throw rocks at you and chase you but you are evil so just fry them.

Overall I would recommend at least trying this game to see whats its like but I highly recommend it.

I absolutly love this game, to read my full review please visit the URL Below.

InFamous is an action/adventure game of being a hero or an anti-hero. the game had a great story and i get to choose my faith thats freaking awesome. i give this game 5/5.

Sucker punch brings you a PS3 exclusive! you play as Cole an everyday bike messenger who gains superpower when he is delivering a package, it ends up to be a bomb blowing up a massive area, after he awakes from a coma. He finds the place he once knew to become lawless and left him with a tough choice, become a hero or become inFAMOUS. the choice is yours. This game has great replay value to it and has lots of missions to accomplish to earn that great platinum trophy. its a must have for all of us PS3 fans. The story flows well and has amazing graphics

OMG this game is amazing! Like Grand Theft Auto on steroids

See, Infamous is an open-world game. Once you've gone through the basic tutorial -- typical third-person controls with L1 bringing up your reticle for aiming your R1 lightning bolt and face button specials -- Empire City is yours to do what you want with. You can go out on story missions, take on the random bad guys camped out on rooftops, tackle some side missions, or just run and jump from rooftop to rooftop. Now, as you get going, you'll need to get Empire City up and running again. At the most basic level, this means Cole needs to head into the city's sewers and manually reestablish the connections between transformers (see: he grabs the working electrical box, grabs the one that isn't working, and lets the juice flow through him to get the city back online). When you do this, you'll gain a new superpower so that by the end of the game you'll have access to 16 abilities such as calling down a massive lightning storm that obliterates enemies as well as an electrical shield you can use to block incoming attacks.

People continue to compare this game with Prototype. The games are just too different to compare. If you want a game that has varying missions. If you want a game where you can save people OR harm people, if you want a game that involves MORE than just killing, but also includes missions such as searching and defending, you want this game. If you want a game that does NOT include blood or dismemberment, you want this game. If you want a game that has a LONG draw rate (meaning, you can see graphics down the street and the system doesn't draw it as you go), then GET THIS GAME!

However, if you want a game that includes all of those other bad things, then get Prototype.

I can't stop playing this game. Both games are awesome, but they're like comparing a PG-13 game to a Unrated or NC-17 game.

First-off, I note that I generally am not a big fan of the Sandbox games. GTA series bored me after 10 hours of playing. Though Assassin's Creed kept me interested enough to play through, the repetition made it a chore towards the end.

Infamous got a little repetitive, but never enough to make the game a chore. Maybe I'm still a kid at heart, but I just found rail-sliding and gliding across the city roof-tops fun even if without a purpose.

Pros:

1. Fun!! Especially once you get the rail-slide and gliding abilities!!
2. Good Story, and worth a second play-through (one good, one evil)
3. Never frustrating - great intuitive gameplay mechanics. Fighting, wall climbing, gliding, jumping, and landing are all easy intuitive enough to pick-up and play out of the box.

Cons:

1. A little too repetitive in the side missions, and enemy types. (Though that is really my complaint with all "sandbox" and free-roam games.)
2. Mediocre next-gen graphics. Good, but no where near Assassin's creed, but about as good as GTA 4.
3. Evil/Good affects some missions, and your powers, but whether you are a Tyrant or a Hero should have affected the story more, which for the most part remains unchanged whether you are hero or villain.

All-in-all this was very good and fun game....just short of 5/5, because the lack of variety in the mission/enemies.

The game is not bad at all, I just had higher hopes for it. Graphics and game play are pretty sharp, but game can be repetitive.

I loved the game and the powers. The only thing I didn't like about it was how hard it is control the character sometimes.

So far, this is my favorite PS3 sandbox title. I loved the aspect of duality (deciding to be good or evil) and the mission variety. The campaign took me roughly 40 hours to beat both sides of the duality spectrum, which was quite adequate. There is other things besides the missions to do in the game, which is just plain fun. The only complaint that I have is the slight gliches in the graphics. At one point in the game, during a cutscene there was a glitch that required me to restart my system and losing my saved data from my last save. This was no big deal since it was early in the game. There is some slight pop up while traveling around the city quickly, but pop-up doesn't bother me unless it affects my gameplay and is really noticable. I would give this game an 8.5 or 9 out of 10. I would recommend it to any PS3 owner as it is a great game, but not necessarily a must have.

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? It's awesome. It's worth the money. I haven't played any other game since I've got it. It's one of the main reasons to have a PS3. Highly recommended.

I love the open world roaming and the ability to choose between what is right and what is not, which ultimately affects your karma during gameplay. The ability to upgrade your powers is also a very cool feature! Well worth your time and money- now get out there and do the electric slide!

I just bought the Video Game called Infamous and it is amazing. Although the graphics could have been improved a bit i thought the game was really good. You can either play as the revered hero or the villianous bad guy. Which ever way you go, you will have an amazing time.

It's a good game, excellent controls, but poor movement around the city, climbing buildings is painfully slow and repetitive, color palette could use some fleshing out... other than that a definite must play if you own a PS3. Play evil, btw - it's much more fun.

One of the best action games that i have played for the ps3. It is most a have if you are a ps3 owner.

awsome game. easy to play alot and keep playing alot more. like grand theft auto with super powers

cause its one of the best games out for ps3, as soon as i put it in i was totally addicted my girlfriend got mad and made me turn it off...this is by the far the revolution in gaming and i am very happy with it 35 bucks and it was brand new what a deal!!!
