Yeah, this game was sub par for the normal standards of games like Infamous 2. The graphics were terrible, looking like a launch title of this generations systems. Very bland textures. It moved a little choppy like the other reviews said.
However, if you are a big Xmen fan, I think its still worth the play through. The format of the game/story is descent. :You start as one of three humans who get their mutant power during a big explosive event (kind of similar to the very beginning of the original infamous. You can actually choose from three different power sets. Through out the game as the story and your character develop, so do your powers. Through out the game you have to make good evil decisions which will taylor your ending. I liked the fact that I felt like a superhero in this game. Taking on 20 guys at a time with ease and getting that indestructible feeling was a good time for me. Boss fights were good, feeling kind of Zelda like, pulling away from the typical hack and slash the game is, and forcing players to find weaknesses though puzzles in the environment.
Don't get me wrong, this game COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE. But if your waiting for the big titles, and your Q is getting thin, and you are a big X-men fan, I think its a good rental. Descent story kept me playing, and I beat the game in two days on normal level. (Too short to buy)
I think the important thing to remember when renting this is its a average game. The only real appeal is the X-Men universe, its characters, and its story. The plot generally feels like it is taking place shortly after the 3rd movie as Professor X is dead, and there is a split between mutant groups and the fight for humanity that comes about because of it.
