First off, yeah. I gave it a 10, but before you count me off as a fanboy and/or raving lunatic. Let me explain.
The 1-10 score system (or any rating system for that matter) rarely gets used fully, and i think that's unfortunate. People are afraid to give something a 10 for whatever reason... The way i look at it, if i feel like a game is the best game out there at the current time, then it deserves a 10.
This is most definitely the case for inFamous. For me personally, it's the best game out on the market at this current date. Now, that might change next week, but i'm talking about this very moment.
InFamous has so many great things going for it, it's hard to know where to start. First, let me get the few bad things out of the way. One of the must frustrating things is related to the free-running, parkour aspect of the game. They implement it almost flawlessly, except for when you are trying to jump and grab on to small objects, or thin poles. Cole doesn't always want to grab on, or occasionally, he grabs something else. Something you weren't aiming for. That definitely gets a bit frustrating. The rest is all minor. Some clipping, popping, graphical anomalies, etc. However, you are usually so focused on the awesome action, you rarely notice these things.
The good in inFamous far outshines the bad. The combat is intuative and creative. Aiming, movement, and cover are all executed to perfection. The game has a nice progression system, many fun and flashy powers, as well as impressive, and distinct looking enemies.
Comic book fans are going to immediately fall in love with this game, as it plays out similar to a super-hero story. Complete with artistic, comic-style cutscenes.
Nothing beats cutting lose, and simply roaming around the city with Cole's super hero powers. Really, this game is impossible to pass on. You would be crazy to own a PS3, and not own this game.
BUY IT! Support PS3 exclusives, especially one this great.
