I loved the concept of the first inFAMOUS and with the second one released this year I was only expecting much more. Fortunately, Sony and Sucker Punch didn't drop the ball and disappoint me with inFAMOUS 2. There were only a few things I wasn't really feeling. The fighting "power" wasn't exactly on par for what kind of powers the main character, Cole MacGrath, had. It felt as if it was almost impossible to defeat some enemies without taking a lot of time and energy to do so. Even on the easiest difficulty it remained so. I would have thought that after what happened in the first game and how Cole should have had his powers grow more powerful, but that wasn't exactly the case. Don't get me wrong, his powers did grow and whatnot, but not on the level I would have liked to have seen.
One of the other things that stuck out to me was the movement mechanics, meaning Cole didn't move around as smoothly as I thought he would compared to the first game. I understand that the first one was a trial and error kind of game, but the second one didn't seem to improve much, or at all, on the movement mechanics. Sometimes I'd be trying to do something specific and Cole wouldn't react the way he should or something just wouldn't happen all together. It was frustrating at times, but, luckily, it didn't happen too often.
Honestly, those are the only two worthy issues with the game that I have. As always, though, I never want to end a review on a negative note (unless a game really is that bad) so coming up below are some of the things I can remember that were great about the game.
I really liked how they incorporated the good/evil type of feel to the game. You could either chose to be a good guy or a bad guy. That was a very cool feature to have. Personally, I was the good guy. After I beat the game I started playing as a bad guy, but I stopped playing shortly after so I really haven't gotten that far as a bad guy yet.
The powers in this game are sweet as well. A lot of new toys and powers to play around with. The electrified "baton" was a nice new addition. You can beat people up in a whole new way. Anyway, you really have to play the game and use the powers to get to know them.
There's all new missions and characters as well as some old friends from the first game. If you haven't played it yet, I'll leave all of those out so you can figure it out for yourselves. For the missions, they have this new thing that allows people to create side missions, which is a cool concept, but I didn't really like how they played.
There's not much else to say, but I liked the game and would definitely recommend it to most people.
