  • Summary: It's Christmas time in New York City and a strange virus has appeared turning seemingly normal citizens into the insane, violent Infected. Rookie Officer Stevens is one of the first victims but unlike others, is strangely immune. The mysterious Dr. Schaeffer discovers that Stevens' blood can be used to destroy the otherwise invincible Infected, and creates a special "viral gun" that fills shells with blood from Stevens' arm and blasts them straight into the Infected, causing them to violently explode. Featuring an engrossing single-player campaign with lavishly gory details, Infected unlocks the world of Wi-Fi via exciting multiplayer modes. To participate in multiplayer combat, players create their own character or avatar. Those who are victorious in combat can "infect" the loser’s PSP system with their avatar and gain ranking points. Avatars can be defeated through a variety of methods, as well as passed along from player to player thus creating a viral chain letter of attack. Infect the world - spread your unique avatar like a virus to other players’ PSP systems via exciting multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch; Form clans with shared uniforms, spreading the same unique virus to the lesser skilled; Set off massive chain reactions of exploding Infected, showering the streets with blood.

    The online ability to spread an infection to another player is so innovative that this game gets my top award, even if it's not perfect in other areas.

    A breath of fresh air for the PSP’s game library. This title delivers a fast paced 3rd person shooter experience with a fairly substantial amount of depth. Although a more substantial single player campaign and better infrastructure game modes would’ve certainly helped.

    There's a real raw, visceral satisfaction to Infected, which is undermined by a short, single-minded story mode and an ambitious but inherently flawed multiplayer game.

    Truly terrible.

    I finished this game in like 2 days. It does not mean that it is short, it means that it is addicting. Upgrades could have been a bit more varied. The gameplay itself is a blast off!… Expand

    Total classic game feel. The core gameplay is fantastic. Online multiplayer has issues--but this definitely is the multiplayer game of the year on the PSP. If you can put up with the crappy servers and lack of infrastructure gameplay modes......don't miss it!… Expand

    I'm have a hell of a lot of fun with this game. The sense of humor really makes it worth it, much like the recent re-release of "Dawn of the Dead." Yes, tedium creeps in, and I hate rescuing hostages that tend to turn into zombies, but for a PSP game, it's great.… Expand

    This game whould have gotten a higher score if I wasn't forced to listen to Nu-metal crap like slipknot until I got a chance to turn all that audio garbage off. At least you can turn it off, but its still one of the worst soundtracks of all in a game, I would have perfered a half-assed midi soundtrack over this.… Expand
