Who wouldn't love to have the power to control lightning? Infamous puts all these powers at your fingertips, but it is so much more than that.
Pros:
- The action is faced paced and exciting, and feels nice and open. You don't feel forced into any one way to approach a fight, and there are some cool power combos to be used
- The powers make you feel powerful. That seems like a pretty simple concept, but there are plenty of superhero games that don't quite create the atmosphere that you are a certified badass.
-Your powers actually grow. This is generally a point of concern for me when I play games. I hate getting all of these points and upgrading weapons to really not notice any difference in using them. Every power has 3 levels, and while some levels are just making it more powerful, there are enough additions to be exciting. An example would be your basic lighting projectile will eventually explode on headshots when fully upgraded. Also, the powers themselves feel more powerful than the powers you had before, culminating and calling down lightning from the sky that destroys pretty much anything.
-A lot of people do not like the comic book way which some of the narrative is told, but I think it gives Infamous a distinct visual style. The story has a couple of decent plot twists, and an ending that isn't a cliffhanger but lets you know there's going to be another game.
-The good/evil karma meter makes playing the game through twice worth something because certain powers go with good or with evil
Cons:
- While the story carries the game along, it does much else. Also, individual chapters feel thrown together even though the story as a whole is good enough.
- The enemies are not particularly varied, so it feels like you're fighting basically the same people the whole game with slight variations
Infamous is just pure fun from start to finish. Everyone should definitely Ride The Lightning
