   The reason I give this a 10 is to balance out all the people who gave it low scores (you are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong). I The reason I give this a 10 is to balance out all the people who gave it low scores (you are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong). I really think it is a 9. This game is awesome and anybody who gives it a bad review didn't play it long enough. The controls are near perfect. The only problem is when it sucks you to an object that you don't want to grab onto. I also agree with an earlier review that states that enemies are way too accurate from long range. You have to put at least 10 hours into this game to give it a fair review.… Expand

   Maybe a little late reviewing this as it's been out for a couple of years but I just picked it up on a whim from the PSN "Welcome Back" packMaybe a little late reviewing this as it's been out for a couple of years but I just picked it up on a whim from the PSN "Welcome Back" pack (it was therefore free, therefore nothing to lose). OK, lets start with the bad. It does look a little dated, the graphics are a little ill-defined and could use some better anti-aliasing. Some of the voice acting is a bit stereotypical/dodgy and sometimes the "grab onto anything" parkour movement system can be a little iffy, sometimes you can't grab something you want to because you miss by a half inch and sometimes, like when you're trying to dodge a bulletstorm by jumping off a roof... you'll grab an edge and end up full of lead.
   
   HOWEVER, everything else about the game is brilliant - the parkour movement system (other than the odd foible) works very well, you can climb pretty much anything - you're a free-runner who can leap off tall buildings without suffering injury AND you can shoot "lightning bolts" out of your hands... what's not to love! So it's a little dated now, playability-wise it's probably still one of the best games going - it's just, well, fun - lots of fun. Definitely a game every PS3 owner should have - I'd give it a 95, closer to 10 than 9 anyway :)… Expand

   More like 9.5. Overall an awesome game. Some minor flaws such as enemies half stuck in the wall after being defeated. What was most More like 9.5. Overall an awesome game. Some minor flaws such as enemies half stuck in the wall after being defeated. What was most surprising is the fact that you can't mindlessly jump in the middle of a group of enemies and expect to win which is often the case for these types of games. While the the choices for karma are obvious it is really tempting to use the evil side. Game is really enjoyable and from what I heard there are different cut scenes for both sides. So far I have not encountered any major slowdowns and/or glitches. Really a must buy if you are a fan of the genre and even if you're not definitely give it a try.… Expand

   I gave this game a 9. Sad, but true. It's a fun game with a lot of entertainment value. You constantly grow in the game despite I gave this game a 9. Sad, but true. It's a fun game with a lot of entertainment value. You constantly grow in the game despite reptitive quests, and it's that growth that makes the game fun. It's always entertaining creating new ways to dispatch your enemies through a mixture of old and new powers. Just pisses me off that this game which should clearly be a 7 at best is forcibly a 9 or 10 in comparison to the pure junk that's developed these days. Fortunately this game is one of the few that's come out in recent years that you won't have to grind your teeth while forcing yourself to finish it in order to justify the 60 dollars you spent purchasing it.… Expand

   Infamous is a truly great game that really makes you feel like a hero or villain with it's fun and intriguing gameplay. Yes you can be a heroInfamous is a truly great game that really makes you feel like a hero or villain with it's fun and intriguing gameplay. Yes you can be a hero or a villain which is largely decided through karma moments. These are fun but most of them are choices like throw acid in your mom's face while she's in a coma or bring her flowers. Choices like these rarely leave a room for any grey area but I still enjoyed it. You also get access to different powers depending on your karma level. The powers are always fun and are easy to control.The story is fun as well but largely relies on cliches until the last shocking twist (pun intended) that sets it up for the inevitable sequel. My only other complaint is the clunky platforming. Cole seems to enjoy missing ledges and falling 50 feet. The platforming in this game couldn't be much worse. The game is still a lot o fun and it's hard not to recommend for any PS3 owner.… Expand

   Finally beat this game; and let me tell you, IT SUCKS. The concept and potential of this game are incredible, even the story isn't all thatFinally beat this game; and let me tell you, IT SUCKS. The concept and potential of this game are incredible, even the story isn't all that bad. The thing that destroys this game from the inside out is the difficulty level, and the fact that it takes itself to seriously. The dialogue animations are laughably bad, the voice acting is sub-par or average at best. The difficulty is unREAL. I beat the game on Medium difficulty and it left me ripping my hair out and screaming into my couch cushions. The bosses aren't that bad, its the regular henchmen who are tough as **** This is especially prevalent later in the game, when the enemies can take **** tons of damage; then dish out **** tons. Combine this with the worst balance i've ever seen in a game, and the most unrefined controls imaginable and you have the perfect recipe for **** THIS GAME". There is a special place in hell for the developers of this game. Shockingly enough Infamous Second Son looks ridiculously awesome, so i'm still going to try it out. But at the end of the day, **** THIS GAME...… Expand
