Infamous for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

This is really one of the best games out there for the PS3 if you're not into multiplayer games. The story start off with a blast, literally. you are an unaware courier delivering a package that ends up destroying most of the city and resulting in a city-wide quarantine. Oh yeah, and it gives you special powers! The story is set up so that you can do a bad guy and good guy version so if you want to experience all the game has to offer, you'll need to play through at least 2x (Also 2x to get all trophies). It's okay though, because I found the 2nd play thru even more fun than the first. I had a better grasp on the basic powers from the 1st run thru and the bad guy powers and story(played good guy 1st) changed things up just enough to feel like I wasn't just doing a repeat. The graphics and audio were insanely good(except for some eerie music that seemed to play at random) and the gameplay was excellent. Bad guys would actually duck and cover behind objects, try to flank, throw grenades, etc. The AI was really good. The powers were all fun to play with and include: lightning bolts from your palm, shock grenades, force fields, electric grinds on power lines and rr tracks, static thrusters and many others. Some of the powers worked better for bad guys and some for good guys, so there was decent balance and nothing to really say playing as either one is better than the other. One of the best parts is that aside from the initial loading, there are no loading screens! You play through the entire game, back and forth across the huge city without ever encountering a loading screen. I did have a few technical glitches where I would be walking and suddenly fall thru the planet and one mission that wouldn't trigger the next scene or something so I had to quit and restart the game. But I never lost any progress in the game so I can't complain too much.
I would easily play this game over & over again but there's too many in my Q so I give it back. 2 thumbs up.

Its just well done.....

I know....thats a weak review but it really is the truth.

Infamous takes all the most important things in a gaming experience (for me at least) and polishes them to a spit shine.

Firstly, the story is engaging and has you interested from the get go....the mystery of how Cole got his powers and what when down when Empire city exploded is a great back drop for the action and adventure that ensues....

The controls are easy to get used to and your ability to jump and climb are extremely fluid. Jumping on and to things is my big weak spot as a gamer and this game never left me frustrated. It was great to not get bogged down in making the perfect leap to reach a ledge or platform. It made the playing much more fun.

The check point system is perfect. When you do die, you dont have to go back far and do a bunch of annoying replaying.

There are upgradable powers making XP gathering beneficial but not a focus of the game. I found that refreshing.

The game looks amazing.....let me tell ya-- when you take a leap off a skyscraper and speed towards the ground (Cole is unharmed by hundred foot falls), the sensation of falling is so real you can feel it in your stomach.

The city is expansive and alive with people, cars, and buildings.

Their are two types of missions, ones that progress the story and side missions that give you XP and help you with your reputation. You can choose to be a good guy by helping citizens or take a darker path. These choices affect your powers and the way your character actually physically looks....cool, right?. People react to you as either a hero or a villain depending on your actions.

Its just a game that is done very well. Its not perfect and you may find something here or there that you think could have been better but not much....

Adding to its replay value is the need to play as good and evil to get all the trophies.

If you have a PS3-- You need to experience INfamous.
