 Exellent! August 9, 2010
G. L. Tempest (UK Cornwall)
One of my favourite games ever - keeps me busy for a long time. Great game play, brilliant story line. Two ways to play - good or evil and a free DLC extra weapon too!
This game is becoming FAMOUS: it's great! July 13, 2010
GRAPHICS: 3.5 STARS (not the best, considering it's PS3 - but not bad)
VALUE: 5 STARS (it's a brilliant game, definately worth the money)
CHARACTERS: 5 STARS (very funny, likeable)
CONTROLS: 5 STARS (very easy to get to grips with)
inFamous is amazing - it is great fun for teenagers and adults; it has a good storyline, fun characters - including an amusing best friend (Zeke), a demanding FBI agent (Moya) and some great enemies (The Reapers etc.) It starts with the aftermath of an explosion which few survive. The protagonist in this game (Cole) is one of the few survivors and he finds the explosion has granted him a strange ability to control electricity. As Cole, you can shoot lightning bolts at enemies, throw 'shock grenades', make a wall of electricity push things backwards etc.
As many other reviewers mentioned, one of the main things in the game is the Karma system: how the consequences of your actions cause you to be Good (your karma can turn you into a 'Guardian', 'Champion' or 'Hero') or Evil ('Thug', 'Outlaw' and of course 'Infamous'). One of the many examples when you choose to be a good or bad person is when injured people are lying on the street - you can use your elctrical powers to kill them off or heal them.
Another great thing in the game is how you can climb up pretty much everything - all the buildings can be scaled and you can jump or zipwire across rooftops. You can also blow lots of things up - if there are enemies near a car, Cole can shoot lightning bolts onto the car and it will explode, often killing the enemies in the blast.
I won't go into any more detail about the game as it is already covered in most respects. It's worth getting - Buy it!
What a hidden Gem! April 12, 2010

I was looking for a 'cheap' PS3 game to play as not a month would go by without another 'must have' £40+ game being released.
Infamous had some great reviews so I thought I would take the plunge.
The Game is set on an Island (or a couple of islands really) where you do get the opportunity to explore and discover every last inch of it. Other reviews have touched on the Sandbox/GTA-type layout and it definitely gives a more organic feel to the game. You see that building...just climb to the top of it which-ever way you want!
The storyline develops as you play the game. You can choose to do good deeds and bad deeds. Sometimes you don't get a choice and your actions can have a negative affect (or positive) without you having an input. Your 'Karma' level alters while you play the game. You can choose to be 'Nice' or 'Naughty' and it really does change how the game plays. Being a city it is full of Citizens and these guys also react differently depending on your Karma level. Your 'Karma' can also affect your power upgrades - some are only available with either good or bad Karma ratings.
Graphically the game is excellent. Cut scenes are done in a comic book style but this complements the look and feel of the game. I've had no slow down effect when playing and when you blow stuff up it looks realistic and has real-time affects on the environment also. You spend a lot of time blowing stuff up as it is a fun way to dispatch the enemies!
The enemies are split into 3 main types...each appearing on the different islands. The first island has nice and easy Reapers who can be taken down with very little effort. You then move onto the Dustmen who are a bit harder and then finally you are against the First Sons who are much more challenging and will certainly have you thinking of different ways to beat them. Each of the main types of enemy then have sub-groups which can attack you back in different ways. You will have to use your skills (and upgraded energy attacks) to take them out.
You learn more ways to attack while you are in the sewers getting the power-grids restarted. It is interesting that the developers built into the game that the lights are off to start with and that all the lights (including shop signs and neon advertising) jump into life once you get the power back on. It is the little touches like that which shows that the developers have put the extra nice touches in which raise this game to the level it is.
Sometimes people focus too much on the new games and there are plenty of games on the playstation 3 which not only give great gameplay and value for money, but they remind you of the standard you should expect from developers. Everyone can churn out 'realistic' looking games but it is the little touches you don't often think about which Infamous has plenty of.
Buy this and book out the next couple of weeks in your calendar as once you complete it with 'Good Karma' you'll have to complete it on 'Bad Karma' just to enjoy the difference in gameplay!
As part of the sandbox nature of the game you are able to collect 'Blast Shards' which when you have collected enough, increase your 'battery' level. As well as extending your lightening abilities these also can be spotted all over the place and will have you thinking of different ways to get to a challenging ledge or almost impossible to get to tower!
Excellent game! March 4, 2010

This is how a game about superheros should be done. Controls are excellent with a massive open world to explore, once you level up your character you really do feel like your controlling a superhero. Also you have decisions to make during the game which affects the story and weather your character is ultimately good or evil. Don't be fooled, this game is better than Prototype BY FAR.

I was so happy that Infamous is so cheap now.
But unfortunately its not worth it.
First of all the game has good graphics exepct for characters.They look a bit stoned.
The story is lame and there is no special point.
A good thing is the unleashed power of the hero, You can destroy everything with lightning and you
can choose beyond good and evil.
But the rest is terrible. I was so sad,that it had to be this way.
I really dont get it that this game has so high ratings.
In my opinion:
Graphics:
8/10 (Very high resolution textures,very pretty)
Story:
4/10 (Nothing special,a few times its eotional)
Gameplay:
6/10 (Sometimes fun,mostly not)
