   Better than the original. Why fix what wasn't broken I always say. A fun and engaging combat system, the same characters you love and an Interesting story.… Expand

   Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a huge fan of the first Infamous. It is easily the best super hero game of all time. With that being said, I was a little dissapointed by Infamous 2. Lets start off with the good. The set pieces are amazing, the powers are great from the start, the voice acting and action is phenominal. So if you like the first game I will tell you that your in luck and you will like this one. But lets get down to the brass tax. This game shorts the player in a few rather large ways. Starters the story, there was no emotional draw in any way. I felt the same by the end as I did the beginning which dont get me wrong by the time I got their a few twists and turns had sprung up. But with the first I was blown away on more than one occasion. Next the enemies, the regular baddies are fine with their ice powers and then the larger titans and so on but the big bosses are pretty much nowhere to be found. I will tell you that you will encounter 2 otherworldly bosses and that is it. The last had at least 3 with the promise of the beast that flat out lets you down in every way. I would like to have seen a little more back story on some new and interesting bad guys but instead we were shunned and left feeling like their could have beeen more. Which brings me to the powers. For the most part there was nothing new to add to the table. Every power was either an extension of an existing one or just a throwaway upgrade. For instance the ice powers, the ice jump, the ice grenade, the ice rocket, all just the same with a few popcycles tacked on to the after effect. I'll stop gripeing but I will leave on this note. By the end of the first game I felt like I had been through an experience, I got what I wanted and walked away with what I needed. This one just left me wishing for more. Great for a quick playthrough, but I would push for a buy.… Expand

   They have a great concept to start with, but they didn't really take advantage of it. They could've really designed some creative, challenging missions using the powers and physics, but like most modern developers, they took the easy route and just filled their game with repetitive, mindless fighting sequences. Dozens of fighting missions just don't add up to a satisfying game for me. I guess I just need to accept that this is the norm for video games now. Every game these days has to be dumbed down for 10-year-olds. The days of challenging games are over. Games no longer make you think or use strategy. The video game industry has devolved into a state of mindless button mashing.
   
   I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Infamous 2. I love the open world, I love the controls, and I love the powers. Moving around this open world is a blast. Unfortunately, that's about the only good thing about this game.… Expand

   Mindless and boring. Wait for an icon to appear on your in-game map, run to it, kill some bag guys by repeatedly tapping the same button, then wait for another icon to appear on your map, and then run to it and... you get the idea. That's pretty much all you'll the entire game, other than collect hidden shards that are scattered about the city, which aren't very well hidden. In fact, they're pretty much out in the open, and all you have to do is click a button to make them appear on your map, then run to them and pick them up. Extremely simple, repetitive and stupid. Those that are giving this piece of crap high scores are either high themselves, or were dropped on their heads when they were kids. One of the worst games of all time. And one of the most overrated.… Expand
